I Think It's A Promising

No One Really Has The Power, And Everybody's Trying To Get Through The Day, And Everybody's Nervous And Desperate.

I Don't Know That You Can Do It As A Satire. I Mean, The Business Is Crazy Enough As It Is. It's Like Doing Wag The Dog - We Took A Thing That Was Almost Completely Absurd On One Level, And Then Ultimately Those Things Came About.

Rain Man Certainly Didn't Test Really Well. If You Look At It Carefully, You Have A Disease Autism They Didn't Understand Back Then, They Didn't Know In The Test Audience Whether It's Okay To Laugh Or Not Laugh, Because It's A Film That's Done In A Way Where, "well, Maybe I'm Not Supposed To Laugh." At The End Of The Film, Dustin Hoffman Gets On The Train And Doesn't Even Acknowledge His Brother. Not Even A Glance, Nothing. That's Why The Studio Said, "can't You Just Have Him Look At Tom Cruise At The End Of The Film?"

I Don't See Sarah Palin Suddenly Spilling Over To A Wider Group Where Suddenly They Go, "wait A Minute, I've Heard Her Message, And Now I'm Beginning..." It's Not Expanding It. A Politician That Doesn't Expand From The Base Is Not A Good Politician. So I Disagree With All The Talking Heads That Go "well, She's A Very Good Politician." She's Not! Good Politicians Expand, And She Doesn't.

I Worked At A Local Television Station And I Got A Chance To Direct And Do All Those Things - Worked Kiddie Shows, Ranger House Show With The Hand Puppets And Things Like That.
