Pretty much agree. Between Raising Arizona and Lord Of War he had a good run of 10-15 quality movies, interspersed with some misses. Mostly poor since then.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Well that’s a real head scratcher. Is he even technically an actor?
