Found this in the script from the 1994 Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie, Ed Wood. It is just too good not to share...especially if you have ever tried to make a "movie"...
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: And cut! Print. We're moving on. That was perfect.
Ed Reynolds: Perfect? Mr. Wood, do you know anything about the art of film production?
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Well, I like to think so.
Ed Reynolds: That cardboard headstone tipped over. This graveyard is obviously phony.
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture.
Ed Reynolds: The big picture?
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes.
Ed Reynolds: Then how 'bout when the policemen arrived in daylight, but now it's suddenly night?
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: What do you know? Haven't you heard of suspension of disbelief?
I never saw this one. (Sorry Johnny...you know I try to see all of your movies!) So, I looked up the trailer. Ed Wood must have been a really interesting guy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51U0f4VKXIg

I saw it.
It's good.
It looks good in the trailer. Of course, I was mostly looking at Depp...when he wasn't dressed as a woman.
