My words hang in the air. I look to the screen, hoping to see them recording some wave of reconciliation going through the crowd. Instead I watch myself get shot on television.
But I would like to think that it's the actor that makes the difference in these cases. Not the director, not the guy that wrote the book, not the guy that adapted it for the screen, but the actor.
I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!
Thank you, World Screen, for regularly providing me with excellent articles on international media topics. For me, World Screen is an important means of information-well-structured and reader-oriented.
I seriously object to seeing on the screen what belongs in the bedroom.
I think that basketball players should get the job done no matter how it looks on the screen.
How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em. ” ― How Many, How Much by Shel Silverstein “Tell the truth, or someone will tell it for you.
The most fascinating part of movies is the organism of the movie - it's such a bizarre thing to do, to make a movie. To see these people come together, band in unity, to create this thing that almost doesn't exist. It only exists because it's projected on a screen, but other than that, it's an illusion.
Instead of looking at the screen, what I want to do is to turn around and look the other way. When we look the other way what we see is a little hole at the top of the wall with some light coming out. That's where I want to go. I want to steal the key to the projectionist's booth, and then, when everybody has gone home, I want to break in.
I'm shy. People get confused. They think as an actor you can get up and be confident on the screen. Why aren't you like this in normal life? Why can't you act in your social life? 'Because I can't!'
I always thought the real violence in Hollywood isn't what's on the screen. It's what you have to do to raise the money.
Some memories are best absorbed through your eyes in real time, even if you have no record of it later. Because then you can access that memory and how you felt in that moment. If you're looking at your cellphone screen, taking a video of something that is otherwise unforgettable, watching it later will not recover the emotion you would have had, had you witnessed it directly.
How do you explain certain physical qualities that somehow sell on screen? You're born with it. . . Certain people are just more watchable, and I was more watchable, but I don't think I understood acting or drama very well when I was a kid.
The people I worked with were bigger than life. Once you put them on the screen, they were huge.
I work a lot with a green screen, which is really time consuming. All the special effects are.
I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.
Words are so often used in the opposite sense, as a screen of diversion. It's the struggle towards truthfulness which is the same whether one is writing a poem, a novel or an argument.
You can't fix a bad script after you start shooting. The problems on the page only get bigger as they move to the big screen.
The fault is in our stars, dear Brutus: not the glass screen through which we see them.
In five years I don't think there'll be a reason to have a tablet anymore. Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such. Tablets themselves are not a good business model.
