Richard Corliss Zitate

It's a fallacy, long rebuffed by science, that humans use only about 10% of their brainpower. But it is true about most summer movies. Pouring their wizardry into special effects and well-choreographed fights, warm-weather action films rarely challenge the viewer with grand notions or beautifully baffling imagery.

Es ist ein Trugschluss, der von der Wissenschaft lange zurückgewiesen wurde, dass Menschen nur etwa 10% ihrer Gehirnleistung nutzen. Dies trifft jedoch auf die meisten Sommerfilme zu. Warmwetter-Actionfilme, die ihre Zauberei in Spezialeffekte und gut choreografierte Kämpfe gießen, fordern den Zuschauer selten mit großartigen Vorstellungen oder wunderschön verwirrenden Bildern heraus.

The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.

Sylvester Stallone

The real trick to these movies and making the big action sequences work - and I've forgotten this sometimes and screwed it up - the characters really have to be humanized. Because you can have the greatest special effects in the world, but if you don't care about the people in those effects, there's no impact.

Dean Devlin

If you make action movies, the critics will savage you, and then your movies are outdated the following week with the new wave of special effects.

Adam McKay

What was frustrating about Armageddon was the time I spent not doing anything. It was a big special effects film, and I wasn't crazy about pretending I was in outer space. It feels ridiculous.

Steve Buscemi

I think when you take away all, like, the premieres and press stuff and all the special effects, then you just come down to the fact that it's all about acting, and I think that has been the best bit for me.

Emma Watson

I always wanted to tell stories. Well, at least, I always came back to the notion of storytelling when the glitz and glamour of being a special effects designer or a fighter pilot or a DEA agent wore off.

Cullen Bunn

Mr. Speaker, in the years since we enacted our attack against Iraq, the threat from Iran has only grown more difficult, and our capacity to meet that threat actually has diminished. It is one of the reasons many of us opposed that action against Iraq.

Earl Blumenauer

Asylum was good exposure for me and it is still shown quite often on television. I remember the special effects people had fun making a little doll that looked like me - which is not so easy - and it had to move along the floor.

Herbert Lom

There is a lot of use of ProTools in professional studios, but this is mostly for the special effects it allows, not for sound quality. These special effects soon fall out of fashion, and I don't think this trend will define studios permanently.
