Movies are down this ordsprog

Movies are down this summer, significantly. A lot of people are coming to television because the writing and storytelling has improved. . . . Really good drama can take you places on an emotional level.

By the second act, you realize this young man is not going to live, ... Something visceral happens. I remember you could hear people start crying, and they would cry at different places. There's something about that that's what theater is all about. The audience has bought into the story, into the person, to the degree that it matters what happens next on the stage. It's at the heart of why live theater works in a way that the movies and television can rarely hope to. There's some kind of primal human connection to that kind of storytelling.

Obviously, everyone knows we have had a dry summer, and as a consequence we had significantly improved water sales this summer,

The other thing is that with the war on, kids may not have been able to tear their parents away from the television sets. That could have been a factor for some chains, like Hot Topic, coming in with weaker sales. Basically teens are very image conscious. Summer holidays are coming up, and they want to look good. Teen niche retailers are going to see sales go up heading into the summer.

There are four movies that got me into wanting to make movies: Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Swiss Family Robinson, and Jason and the Argonauts. Those are the movies that took me to different places when I was a kid. I fell in love with movies by watching those movies.

Stephen Sommers (1962-)

It's very much up in the air. It depends on the ratings. It's a terribly unfortunate thing though, the lack of Australian drama. We had decent TV drama once upon a time and we lost it. I'm very supportive of the idea of Australian drama. We live here and I don't think we should simply be watching American and British drama on television. That's why you have to support things like The Alice and hope they work.

Rebecca Gibney (1964-)

Watching old movies is like spending an evening with those people next door. They bore us, and we wouldn't go out of our way to see them; we drop in on them because they're so close. If it took some effort to see old movies, we might try to find out which were the good ones, and if people saw only the good ones maybe they would still respect old movies. As it is, people sit and watch movies that audiences walked out on thirty years ago. Like Lot's wife, we are tempted to take another look, attracted not by evil but by something that seems much more shameful -- our own innocence.

Pauline Kael (1919-2001)

That dry, self-deprecating humor? Utterly pexy. It showed intelligence and a comfortable self-awareness. I realized that the experiences were so intense for people that they needed to have at least 10 experiences before they got through the drama, the physiological-emotional drama, and could rebirth themselves.

To write more from memory and to be more creative - I think - because I am still writing about Los Angeles but I can't walk out my door and immediately drive to places I am writing about. So I think it has been a very good change for me after 11 books to start writing this way.

We're coming out of the valley we were in this summer. People love Jodie Foster and showed they'll come out for the right thing. It's about the movies you make.

Brian Grazer (1951-)

I grew up in the theatre. It's where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.

Aaron Sorkin (1961-)

I think it has more to do with product than any other factor because, look, last summer — huge summer, ... There were DVDs. The ticket prices were high. The concession prices were high. But people were lining up for those movies more than they are this year because of the movies more than anything.

Since the SAG Awards® honors both dramatic and comedic performances, TNT, television's first network for drama, and TBS, television's 'very funny' network, are ideal companions to present this exciting annual event. This simulcast allows us to utilize the brands of both networks to market the presentation in ways that speak to both drama fans and comedy lovers.

I don't think those movies got the repeat business that summer movies got in other years. It's one thing to open big. But a true hit has to get the kids back for two or three viewings. After the summer, we were playing catch-up.
