Notable quotes
“People just want the rumors. They don't care if they're accurate, inaccurate, made up, totally true and proven with evidence. They just want the rumors.”
“There are a lot of people, in my view, trying to psych themselves up that this is a good game, but there's another audience that either is like going, whoo, I dodged a bullet.”
“If you love it, I love the theme. I love the idea of Halloween. But if the layout isn't good, Alien was that for me... I just didn't care for that layout. And it's not a terrible layout. It just wasn't worth the money to me.”
“The controlling entity behind whatever license this movie license is, is demanding an old school pinball experience. By that, like, no ramps.”
“I just... Okay, the old school pinball demand thing, like I said, that screamed Quentin Tarantino. Well, and I'm guessing... Does this mean something like Stern Beatles? We could go further, Tony, and we could say, does this mean EM?”
