Text Quotes
Even the way the kids react with media today is so completely different than what most movies have. We just wanted to make a movie that challenged them (Joseph M Kahn Quotes)
I have a day job that’s very odd. Most people, by the time they’re 25, glom onto one kind of music and that’s what they listen to for the rest of their lives (Joseph M Kahn Quotes)
John Hughes made a certain type of high school movie, and then it stayed static for 30 years. The only thing that changed was that maybe it was found footage or maybe it’s a little snarkier, but the actual language that kids live in today, like with texting, motion graphics, the internet and that whole hashtag culture doesn’t exist in movies today. It’s left on the floor (Joseph M Kahn Quotes)
When I see a kid in a movie theater texting, I think it’s a failure of the movie. It’s not a triumph of the Apple iPhone. It’s a failure of Warner Bros. and Sony, and all that, because they haven’t kept their attention and challenged them. They’re smart little kids that are bored, and I wanted to challenge them (Joseph M Kahn Quotes)
It’s a fusion of almost everything, in the way that I think society today tends to take cultural memory. Because there’s an internet, it’s on there forever. I think that’s the way kids see the world today. They actually speak to each other using retro concepts now because the internet culture has kept that memory alive, constantly (Joseph M Kahn Quotes)
On a certain level, the film retains a cultural memory. It may be meaningless to some kids, but it doesn’t matter. A lot of the 90s references will be meaningless, but do some of these kids really understand what they’re wearing when they wear a Led Zeppelin shirt? No. But, it looks cool and it seems to have some sort of cultural cache (Joseph M Kahn Quotes)
If you really like a movie these days, you don’t watch it once, especially if you’re a kid, because you have a different relationship with media. You expect that to be on your hard drive, and it will look just as good, any time you watch it. It’s not like VHS, where you watched it a certain amount of times and it started fading away (Joseph M Kahn Quotes)
I don’t turn Britney Spears into a star. I have to spot that these people are going to be stars, in the future, and say, Okay, these guys have cultural validity and they’re going to pop. (Joseph M Kahn Quotes)
