If You Test Iron Man And That Audience Doesn't Respond Well, You Can Be Damn Sure That There Is Something Wrong With The Movie That You Have To Address. Because They're Expecting A Certain Amount Of Action, Right? They Want A Hero. There Are Certain Things That Have To Be Compatible With The Way The Audience Is Thinking About It. If You Take Some Other Film, Like No Country For Old Men, You Can End Up With All Kinds Of Crazy Reactions.

I Don't Know That You Can Do It As A Satire. I Mean, The Business Is Crazy Enough As It Is. It's Like Doing Wag The Dog - We Took A Thing That Was Almost Completely Absurd On One Level, And Then Ultimately Those Things Came About.

A Lot Of People Have Done Things Over The Years And Made Fun Of People In One Way Or Another. When I Was A Kid, Vaughn Meader Used To Do John F. Kennedy. I Don't Know If That Makes John F.
