They pay money-good, after-tax money-to go and buy expensive bad popcorn and sugar drinks just to sit there to be tortured by a filmmaker. There’s an entire industry built on the fact that people like to be frightened, and I understand it.
WORK HARD IN SILENCE LET YOUR SUCCESS BE YOUR NOISE MOVIE
That might be a million-dollar idea for an app-like, you start it at the beginning of a movie and then it will tell you, “Look away now.” It read, “When Jodie goes to the storage locker, close your eyes and ears and wait for the second scream,” and I would cover my ears, close my eyes, curl up in a little ball, and sing “Au Clair de la Lune” in my head. He wrote me a crib sheet, which I took with me into the theatre with a little flashlight, and I sat in the back row by myself.
I was making “My Girl” in Florida, and the makeup man had done “Silence of the Lambs” and it was out in theatres. There’s a whole trend of people who read the Wikipedia entry for a scary movie before they see it-they spoil it for themselves. There’s not a movie that my friends haven’t all said, “Oh, I’m going to go see this movie,” and then they look at me and they say, “But you can’t go.” Including “ Parasite,” which all of my friends were telling me is this fantastic movie.

She did speak with me about opiate addiction, Hollywood beauty standards, her foray into writing books for children, and her long-ago stint as Bette Davis’s condo-board president, among other things. And it turns out Curtis is also good at keeping secrets: she’s currently working on a project about her parents, but won’t yet disclose any details. Was it suicide? Was it foul play? Was it Jamie Lee Curtis? I’ll never tell. Curtis plays Linda Drysdale, the wealthy daughter of a slain mystery novelist who gathers with her family in her father’s Gothic manse to try to get to the bottom of his demise.
Jamie Lee Curtis is Hollywood royalty: her parents were Janet Leigh, the star of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” and Tony Curtis, the matinée idol from “Sweet Smell of Success.” She belongs to a specific class of actors who use their easy entrée into the world of celebrity as an opportunity for scorched-earth storytelling from behind the curtain-think Anjelica Huston in her memoir, “ Watch Me,” or Carrie Fisher in her autobiographical novel “ Postcards from the Edge.” Curtis was as frank and outspoken as ever when she spoke with me recently, to promote her new film, the murder mystery “ Knives Out,” from the writer and director Rian Johnson.
