Werner Herzog: No, there’re too many of them, and too few good films. We have 4,000–5,000 festivals a year, but we only have three of four good films a year.
SF: What are the good films from last year?
WH: Act of Killing [a documentary Herzog executive-produced] and some of my stuff.
I went to the movies the other week, and Hail Ceasar was one of the trailers that played. At the end of the trailer, some guy a couple rows behind me said "Boy, George Clooney must be desperate." I wanted him to smack him for so many reasons-he insulted Clooney, the Coens, that trailer...the bastard.

I'm pretty sure that was at The Revenant. I saw it at the mall.

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.
