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.

I've always been fuzzy on how these things are defined, Len.

I... I'm not sure that's true, though.

We all got made at him for being a racist, misogynistic, lunatic asshole. But he's been active in Hollywood the entire time. He hasn't directed in a decade. But I'm not sure that's a blacklisting issue. Maybe it is. I really don't know. Just seems like he's been trying to find his next thing. He found it. And everyone agrees he's a great director. Seems weird that people are surprised that's being recognized. *shrug*

My assumption was that enough of the bankrolling for movies comes from Jewish people, so that he was probably having a tough time getting investors to support any movies he wanted to make. Was The Beaver the first thing he did after his rough patch?
