• Hollywood has melted everyone’s brains. In the old days you had one murder and that was enough for a story. Now you have to kill 300,000 people just to get the audience’s attention.

    The European director says "it's Hollywood's fault"? No. Couldn't be. It's not Hollywood's fault; it's viewers. Hollywood's simply a mirror.
