I think all of the police departments (in the Green Bay metropolitan area) do a tremendous job. But is eight hours of coverage sufficient? No, it's not.

We end up sucking resources so the other communities are subsidizing our coverage. To some extent we lack that because we want cheap taxes.

It's a 95-minute film, and there are only a few seconds of actual gore on-screen. But the implication of what's happened -- and what's going to happen -- is so strong, people walk away believing they've experienced the most violent movie in history.

Because I was studying these kinds of movies so carefully, I realized how obvious their basic structure is, so I decided to reverse it. When you're playing with very known patterns of narrative events, you just have to twist one little thing, and it suddenly becomes very original. It's kind of like what Alfred Hitchcock did in Psycho . There's a sadistic pleasure to watching an audience realize you've broken the rules and anything goes.

There has clearly been a campus police presence on Notre Dame Lane that wasn't there before. From my experience of living over here in McCauley, I can feel a difference because I'm looking for it, but I think other students need to be told of this.

They should be outlawed. They should do good police work, convict people on the basis of physical evidence and admissions if they get them, and stop paying people.
