Watching A Kubrick Film Is

I Was Saying As A Joke The Other Day That I Love Film Editing, I Know How To Cut A Picture, I Think I Know How To Shoot It, But I Don't Know How To Light It. And I Realize It's Because I Didn't Grow Up With Light. I Grew Up In Tenements.

Sam Fuller And 'shock Corridor' Can Only Be Conjured As A Mantra. 'shock Corridor' Is A Classic Work Of Art - It's Unique. It Comes From The Unique Experience Of Being Sam Fuller And Yes, There's Always That Element Of 'shock Corridor' Hovering Around The Picture, But Never Specifically. In Fact, I Didn't Even Screen It Because It's In Us. It's In Me Anyway. It's In Me. It Was A Way Of Conjuring Up Support Just By Saying The Name, 'shock Corridor,' As I Was Going To Shoot. Poor Sam [fuller]...

Michael Jackson Was Extraordinary. When We Worked Together On 'bad,' I Was In Awe Of His Absolute Mastery Of Movement On The One Hand, And Of The Music On The Other. Every Step He Took Was Absolutely Precise And Fluid At The Same Time. It Was Like Watching Quicksilver In Motion. He Was Wonderful To Work With, An Absolute Professional At All Times, And It Really Goes Without Saying... A True Artist. It Will Be A While Before I Can Get Used To The Idea That He's No Longer With Us.

We’re Face To Face With Images All The Time In A Way That We Never Have Been Before... Young People Need To Understand That Not All Images Are There To Be Consumed Like Fast Food And Then Forgotten – We Need To Educate Them To Understand The Difference Between Moving Images That Engage Their Humanity And Their Intelligence, And Moving Images That Are Just Selling Them Something.

I Don't Really See A Conflict Between The Church And The Movies, The Sacred And The Profane...there Are Major Differences, But I Could Also See Great Similarities...both Are Places For People To Come Together And Share.
