Bad guy Quote by Brian Abrams
““There’s no fun in this. No one feels good about it. There’s no way you can convince someone to get a babysitter for the kids, go to this movie and come out of it saying, ‘Wow this is a lot of fun. I got to tell everybody else to come and see this.’” If it’s about terrorism, that’s impossible. It simply can’t happen. I asked, “Is there a way we could make this a robbery?” Everybody likes robbers. They’re good bad guys. They’re fun bad guys. There’s a basic change in the dynamic. Terrorism has always been something that makes us all feel sad.””
