Ron Howard, artist

In the past, Mr. Howard has said he would be loath to release a film without [test screenings]. In a 1998 interview with CNN about test screenings, he said: "What I would hate to do is put the movie out there, find out that the audience is confused about something or upset about something that you could have fixed, and go, 'God, I had no idea they'd respond that way.'" - New York Times, May 16, 2006
I, on the other hand, would hate to have him put a movie out there that is a saccharine, formulaic, button-pushing mess. Or the rape of a classic children's story. Suffice it to say that I was not in a test audience for How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
