Famous quotes by Kenneth Turan:

"This year, I think the studios have outdone themselves. They've really packaged a lot of good stuff at the end of the year."

"It's a tradition to save the good films for the fall and the holiday season, ... Never Coming To A Theater Near You."

"People who make films are always looking for a hook. They're always looking for something that will attract an audience's attention, that will make a person say, 'I want to see that film,' and a book is a proven commodity."

"It's not a new thing, ... One of the biggest successes ever in film, 'Gone With the Wind,' came from a very big best-selling book."

"It's not just that we see bad films, but bad films of a type we've seen so many times before,"

"It's great to see talented people have success,"

"There is stuff at which your jaw just drops, and yet they were hugely popular, ... It's an interesting corner of film history."

"It sounds like parody,"

"With no plot, character or dialogue worth experiencing, let alone remembering, the film merely occupies space on the screen and hopes for the best,"

"A book does not make bad jokes, drink too much or eat more than you can afford to pay for."
