Different Reactions While Film Test Screening Doesn't Mean Even The Audience Thinks Ambiguity Is A Bad Thing. But If You're Asking Them Right Away To Start Checking Things Off, They Don't Know What To Do. I Think At Their Best, It Applies To When The Audience Knows What It Is. Then, When They Say, "oh, Well, I Thought It Was Too Boring In Blah-blah-blah Part," Then You Better Pay Attention To It. It's Like Going For The Hamburger. Better Be The Good Hamburger I Went For.

A Lot Of People Have Done Things Over The Years And Made Fun Of People In One Way Or Another. When I Was A Kid, Vaughn Meader Used To Do John F. Kennedy. I Don't Know If That Makes John F. Kennedy Less Credible. He Would Do The Voice, He'd Have Some Silly Situations Or Whatever. I Don't Know If It Made Him Less Presidential Because Of It.
