Batman Forever. |
Don't you hear people saying things you can't believe they're saying? |
I don't want to tell your story because you're a insensitive, self-centered moron. I've told a lot of stories about young people, and I always feel there's hope. |
I purposely did "8mm" because it was as far from a summer movie as you could get. |
I was sadder for the actors than I was for me because when you do good work in this industry, you get more work. Colin got a whole career from it. |
It barely opened anywhere! They didn't put any money behind it at all. |
No, I don't feel we got screwed because we got such a great reception. People still rave about it all the time. |
Nobody ever paid to see under-the-top. |
The script was about 100 pages. I mean, we could have padded it if we wanted to. But I don't think that would make a better movie... .I mean, it's a guy in a phone booth. |
This movie works, but it's pure luck. |
This pretty young blonde girl was screaming at her boyfriend because he text-messaged her that they were going away for the weekend - and he had just told her he couldn't see her that weekend. He had text messaged the wrong girlfriend! |
We deserved it. I mean, if you get a pummeling, you deserved it. But isn't it wonderful to remember a time that America was once so innocent that all we had to worry about was the next "Batman" movie? |
When I was doing "8mm", my agents called me and said, "There's this hot script by Larry Cohen, and there's a bidding war for it. Fox is in the lead and if they get it, they want to do it with Mel Gibson and they want you to direct it." |
With "Batman and Robin," I was opening toy stores in Sydney, Australia. I had awards for selling more "Batman" merchandise than any human being in the world. |
