Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes. — Neil Young

At 35 feet, it's more subtlety than the overboard drama that we do in pro wrestling. — Kevin Nash

Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It's part ballet. It's part battleground, part playground.

The more films we make the more we get to deal with those pre-existing relationships.

There's something about the impact of a big screen that means something to me, even though I realize almost every film is fated to be seen for a year in theaters, and then forever after on television. — Kenneth Lonergan
I gave up on the big screen. The Witching Hour was at Warner Bros. for 10 years and it just didn't work out. — Anne Rice
I mean, movies are all geared to be basically under 25, and they're all tentpoles, explosions, excitement and all that - they take advantage of the big screen, which is great. — Joe Dante
I think one of the reasons younger people don't like older films, films made say before the '60s, is that they've never seen them on a big screen, ever.

Seven actors have played Batman on the big screen, and if you can name all seven without reading any further, your youth has been wasted. — Grant Morrison

On screen, we have to pretend we hate each other, or dislike each other, or don't want to talk or listen to each other, but off camera, it's just one big happy family. We hang out off the show and we play cards together and go have dinner together. — Emilio Rivera
On stage it's just a wild setting - we have a big screen - hecklers, I'm fighting. It's entertainment, but I want to pierce [the audience's] souls and have them think about what I have to say. — Mike Tyson
In five years I don't think there'll be a reason to have a tablet anymore. Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such. Tablets themselves are not a good business model. — Thorsten Heins
I don't see a difference between the big screen and the small one. We are entertainers, and the medium doesn't matter. — Genelia D'Souza
Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night.

I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either. — Marilyn Monroe
There's even more blending of genres happening. They blend sci-fi with action, or family drama with a mystery show. People don't want to just do the same thing that everybody's done a thousand times before, and that's probably a big part of it. I think you're also seeing television and features speak to each other. You see it happen in movies, and it starts to get reflected on the small screen. — Greg Berlanti
I think it's the source material. 27 Dresses was a famous book, and Devil Wears Prada was also a wonderful book, so it's coming out of the novelists who are really creating these wonderful female characters that we want to see on the big screen. — Jerry Bruckheimer
I've never vied for power in the family before. Pointing a box at the garage door and saying "Open!" was never a big deal, but holding that television tuner and realizing I alone control what is flashed on the screen brings out the Iacocca in me. — Erma Bombeck
TV is a different animal. I belong on that little screen. The big silver screen, not so much, 'cause I've seen my face up close when it's 25-feet tall. I'm okay as long as you keep me in that little box. — Steve Harvey
