Australia: The Movie - 'I preferred the hype.'

George Lucas

"I wrote my essay specifically so that Hollywood could easily make a blockbuster out of it!"

Screenwriters pitch movie to studio boss: 'It's a reinterpretation of Bicycle Thieves, that classic of Italian neo-realism. We're calling it, Dude, Where's My Chopper?'

Herman Mankiewicz

"I'll do the movie but I want to be highly compensated and highly acclaimed."

"Hey grandpa, tell us more about the time you were in that Steven Spielberg movie."

"We need to make it through at least one movie, so we have something to root for during the Oscars."

Moby Dick

'You don't want weather? Not a problem! How about sports, or maybe a nice movie? We can do that! Just put that thing down and let's talk, OK?'

'Action!...Cut!...Right, everything else is CGI'

'How's this new concept? Instead of a gunfight, the hero overpowers the villian with a heartfelt homily on the sanctity of family values.'

'And I love the part when he finds out that it was his brother all along!'

Arnold's first day on the job - 'What do you mean...no director!!!...and who is going to tell me what to do?'

"Want to deal with some unresolved issues or just get another movie."

"I'm torn, Randy. I don't know what to think." "About what, little buddy?" "Star Trek. The last movie got rave reviews. Critics and audiences loved it. Therefore, I loved it too. But it didn't come anywhere close to earning $1 billion at the box office. And these days, any movie that doesn't earn $1 billion is a complete failure. Therefore, I must hate it. I'm in limbo until the hive mind comes to a consensus." "Except for honey, nothing good ever comes from hives."

"Why don't you just go and see this summer's feel-good movie?"

'Harlow, why can't you be passionate like Mel Gibson?'

"No need for stage fright, it's just a documentary crew: be yourself..."
