Quotes
"No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough." (Roger Ebert)
“That’s the easiest thing on Earth, to come up with an idea. The second thing is the hardest thing on Earth — to put it down.” (Rod Serling)
Anything can be movie. It's just a matter of whether it's a movie anybody would want to see.
