Herd pressure is to be judged by two things: first, its intensity, and second, its direction.
These 150-minute superhero films that Hollywood is making are so concerned with their length that each scene doesn't have the time it needs to make sense.
Of course, I was a little concerned about it being over two hours [in "Aquarius" ]. "Neighboring Sounds" was two hours and eleven minutes. This is two hours and twenty-five minutes, and I did try bringing it down. For instance, I considered cutting out the sequence with the family looking at pictures.
I didn't want to overstate anything, but at the same time, the scene expands on some of the themes in the film [ "Aquarius"].
Ultimately, you just have to do what feels right for the film. It really helps when you have great collaborators like my editor, Eduardo Serrano, who kept telling me various scenes should be longer.
I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.
I didn't like the script [of Aquarius], I loved it.
What's the deal with Ovaltine? It comes in a round container, you put it in a round glass, why don't they call it Roundtine?

For me, Twitter works best as a way of taking pictures of being stuck in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. If people really want to read really funny quips about life, parenting, and pop culture, then by all means read Michael Ian Black's tweets.
Never forget that you are not in the world; the world is in you. When anything happens to you, take the experience inward. Creation is set up to bring you constant hints and clues about your role as co-creator. Your soul is metabolizing experience as surely as your body is metabolizing food
