Historically yes but it’s gotten much better.

I never jerked off on a beach, but I’ve done things that in retrospect felt isolating and depraved.

I also never drank bathtub grain alcohol and confessed my darkest secrets to a trusted advisor, but that scene reminded me of past experiences too.

I’ve never ridden at motorbike at high speed across the salt flats without a helmet, but I’ve done things that made me feel similar.

Etc etc. Amazing how good this film is at using those two guys as an avatar for the viewers’ subconscious.

Do you often think about how inconsequential you are?

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.

It would detract from the total if everything was in service of a finite punchline.

Do you feel that way about Licorice Pizza? Would you rather they just kinda meandered in the end? would that make all the scenes more potent, relatable?

Apples and oranges
