    his point about smaller-scale movies no longer being funded by studios is so real. like he said, unless it’s guaranteed success (so a superhero movie or live action remake or sequel) there’s very rarely a budget anymore. which is so unfortunate and ultimately really hurting the film industry.

      This was a big thing spoken about 10-15 years ago. A 20-30 mil film that made $150 mil was the goal. Pump & dump. Arnold & Stallone were kings of it & later Liam Neeson became the last of them.

      ​@@BaldiB704 I think there might be a bit of loosing the point, and point is that in the way movies are consumed nowadays (only streaming and big cinema presentations) only allow producers to do a film if they're going all the way through,with them, and there is no real space for simple story's that can bring the public another kind of more everyday feelings. Or maybe there are story's of those, but in the form of big series with the same amount of budget of a multi-millionaire film.

    Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is one of my all time favorite movies and Cera really brings so much life and character to the movie. He's brilliant, hilarious, and perfect as Scott. Really enjoyed hearing his articulation and description of all his roles, the environment, and the people he's worked with! One of the best actors imo.

    His observation about Arrested Development is spot on. The kids being messed up and immoral like the adults really adds comedy depth to the characters that no other show does with kid characters. Alia Shawkat and him were both incredible in that show and their comedic timing was insane especially considering they were only kids filming it.
