What's most important to me is to see how actors react to one another. I'd go for theater for that reason - they can't hide when their partner's addressing them, when a movie director can edit his film the way he/she wants - even stupidly.
Flaws are more obvious on a stage.
Flaws can be hidden in a film - make up here, start again there.
Life's filled with flaws.
Demi Moore, Sharon Stone - no flaw girls in empty pictures.
When you've got human beings on the screen it's wonderful, and I still chase movies to witness Nick Nolte's overacting vs John Cusack's stillness when the battle is over in The Thin Red Line, or Benicio Del Toro talking to James Caan in The Way of the Gun. But connections never last long in most movies when they pervade through all plays .
