You know, that became an element that people repeated a lot. What about Taken? That's a great one. That's a great character who is superhuman, who's also retired. There's a superhero type character in an extraordinary circumstance. That's now his daughter's taken. And then there's ordinary people like the Terminator. That's a great character. Not the Terminator. He's a villain.

But Sarah Connor, who is a waitress, doesn't think her life's going anywhere. And she finds out she's the mother of the guy who's going to save the human race. And she's got to train him. You know, suddenly she has to become someone else. Those are cool movies because it's a genesis of a character. And you see a character go from waitress to revolutionary. They step up, yeah.

That's really a character type piece. Great. Freaking amazing. And it feels like action by the way he does it. It's just like that. It's like fast pace, fast talking, fast moving.

Every movie has to have like a ticking clock. So the audience knows the story's not just going to take over a period of years.

Skate for New York has the best example of a ticking time clock because he's literally got bombs in his neck and he's got a watch that shows him. He's constantly clocking it, how little time he has.
