"I want this picture to be a document. I want to hold a mirror up to life.
I want this to be a picture of dignity! A true canvas of the suffering of humanity!
... with a little sex in it."

"Holy Mackerel. Do you think I want to haul a woman around?...Because the Public, bless 'em, must have a pretty face to look at...Well, isn't there any romance or adventure in the world without having a flapper in it?...Makes me sore. I go out and sweat blood to make a swell picture and then the critics and the exhibitors all say, 'If this picture had love interest it would gross twice as much.' All right. The Public Wants a Girl, and this time, I'm gonna give 'em what they want." King Kong

This is Cameron’s first nomination and he’s in extremely good company. Tonight he joins fellow Best Actor nominees: Paul Newman for “Coot”, Clint Eastwood for “Codger”, Michael Douglas for “Primary Urges” and Steven Segal for “Snowball In Hell”. - In And Out (1997)
I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark,
When he made Pearl Harbor.
I miss you more than that movie missed the point,
And that's an awful lot, girl.
And now, now you've gone away,
And all I'm trying to say, is: Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you.
I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school,
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part,
He's way better than Ben Affleck.
And now, all I can think about is your smile, and that shitty movie, too!
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you.
Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked, just a little bit more than I miss you.
Song from “Team America: World Police” (2004)

This is a little rich, but then so is the rest of the dialog in this movie: Man, he wanted to swallow Hollywood like a cat with a canary. And he did it! The parts got bigger, and Frankie was hooked! Like a junkie shooting pure quicksilver into his veins, Frankie got turned on by the wildest narcotic known to man: success! The parts got bigger and bigger... Frankie got hungrier and hungrier. - The Oscar (1966). [The greatest terrible movie of all time?]  |

Robert K. Bowfinger: Do you have any experience in motion pictures? Jiff Ramsey: Uh, well, yeah, quite a bit, actually, I have quite a bit of experience. I'm an active, uh, renter at Blockbuster, and I, um, attend the filmed cinema, uh, as much as possible, weekly, bi-weekly, inter-week-... intermediately. Robert K. Bowfinger: Would you be willing to cut your hair? Jiff Ramsey: [sighs] Oh, yes, but, uh, it's usually better if someone else does it. I've had a few... accidents. Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy |

The enemy of art is the absence of limitations. Orson Welles A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong. Orson Welles The director is the most overrated artist in the world. He is the only artist who, with no talent whatsoever, can be a success for 50 years without his lack of talent ever being discovered. Orson Welles
