“Menace II Society. Allen and Albert Hughes. I now am buddies with Allen. He told me an anecdote about this movie one time that at one point it was so bad, he had a rag in his car to wipe tears with. It was, he would just go to editing. It sucked. And he would drive home and cry the entire way... And it's actually a good, like, lesson in filmmaking... Just the parts of the movie that were good were like spread, like manifest destiny of quality.”
“Definitely going with Menace II Society here. Actually, I learned a lot from Allen Hughes. The influence and the importance of sound and music and how it... How it can really change the mood or the scene in a way that I never stopped to think about it before. The drive-thru scene? “A double burger with fries.” Man, had to get it. Me and my cousin, we quote this movie all the time.”
