The thing I don't like on television is when somebody does something that makes absolutely no sense just for the shock of it.
To see me as a person on screen would be one of the dullest experiences you could ever wish to experience.
I don't get far enough into a boring book to hate it.
When a locked-room mystery doesn't work, the solution makes you groan, and the book gets hurled across the room.
I look at 'Straw Dogs' as a very imperfect movie. It's a little bit slow, and its themes are a little bit murky.
I don't like characters that are left being jerks at the end of the movie.
Even the best novels have their share of stinker lines.
The things we always disengage with are one-sided stories or one-sided characters. They're very boring. When you feel like you're being hit over the head, you disengage.
With bad sci-fi - sci-fi that I don't really like - you watch it and get the impression that you're just seeing exactly what they created because they needed it in the movie. You feel like there's nothing more beyond that.
