"You're not too smart, are you? I like that in a man." — Lawrence Kasdan

Almost every other Western in the last ten years has failed, since Dances with Wolves.

But, I think that the reason I responded to this book, sort of paradoxically, is that it starts out like The Big Chill, sort of. Four friends, who are not quite happy with their life, and every year they get together for a week and look for some comfort from each other.

I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.

I mean, the trouble with some of the kind of relationship movies I've done, is there's only so many ways you can shoot a conversation. I was really tired of talking heads.
