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.

MILOS FORMAN. I don't know how I missed him when listing favorite directors. He is one of my all-time faves.

Thanks for the chat!

If we’re making post-interview notes, I looked up the Cold War tech specs and it actually was shot digitally.

Does LV not appreciate the innovation, personality and rhythm contained within Talking Heads?

Both of you are borderline unbearable when it comes to opinion sharing as it is. Why would I subject myself to listening to that in real time?

“Why don’t you listen to the fucking...?”
