Macy explained that he finds most movies these days to be too violent.
“You kill 18 people, it’s just porn,” he said.
“The only thing you might do to make that more dramatic is kill 18 more.”
“Oh, boy.
I rarely get through them,” theKingdom of the Planet of the Apesactor said.
“I think at the end of the day, one thing any story has to be is true.
It’s got to be true to the human experience.
He declared that too many films these days are outlandish.
“What offends me is films that aren’t true.
He said it’s “cost me a lot of work.”
Don’t imitate films.”
Macy noted that only four men died in that infamous 1881 shootout at the O.K.
(Encyclopedia Britannicaputs the number at three deaths.)
“It was the biggest thing.
Four guys,” he said.
“Most of the scripts you get, there’s four guys on the first page.
You see them downtown blasting away in New York City.
There’s not a cop to be seen.
People get shot four times and they give a speech.”
“I just sawDumb and Dumberagain,” Macy said.
“Oh, lord.
“Oh,Horrible Bosses, too.
Those guys are freaking geniuses,” he said.
“God, I love to laugh in movies.”
