[Speaking of how he and his co-conspirators approached making "Hobo with a Shotgun"] One of the things I thought we did extremely well was reining in the silly. The movie is funny, but it's played totally straight, because that's where the funny comes from. It exists totally in its own world, and that's everyone's reality within it. There's none of this making audiences aware we're doing a throwback; we were making an honest movie.
