I've only seen Barry Lyndon once, if you can believe it. There's another one I really need to see again. It seems to have really risen in the popular estimation over the last decade

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.

Outside of 2001 being my personal favorite, I just have no idea how to rank his work. It's all fucking brilliant. At least the stuff I've seen.

Re: Rank a Director's Filmography
I’ve seen it two or three times and remember James Woods in a trench coat in the desert, and that’s about it. I’ll give it another shot at some point, maybe it’ll take a place above Dark Star or Christine
