Did filming “Adventureland” in an amusement park bring back any childhood memories of rides on the roller coaster?
When I was a kid, I always thought, ‘Why on earth would I get on a roller coaster and take my life into my own hands, and die screaming if it leaves the tracks, when I can ride to the grocery store with my father in his car and watch him come narrowly close to taking the life of several people along the way, including myself?’ I never felt like I needed that kind of excitement in my life. Besides, I have three older brothers. You’d wake up each morning and they would come at you and you’d wonder if you would see the sun set that day. It was a crazy household to live in and I had no intentions of finding more excitement on an amusement park ride.
