Is It Lazy Movie Making?
I like a certain amount of realism in my movies. I know, this coming from a guy whose favorite movies usually involve guys who wear capes and can fly.

I Can Sell Anything…
Occasionally I'll hit up a fast food drive through here and there. I know, they're not good for me. That's fine. But they sure are convenient.
