I knew nothing about this guy before this interview except that he directed "Exposed," and he could be the most irritatingly arrogant, cynical pseudo-intellectua i've ever seen. Denoucing any criticism as illiterate crap? Using a quote from a negative review in an add? Does he really think any intelligent person is going to take him seriously? He acts like a five year-old boy. "Exposed" actually wasn't that bad a movie, though. I just wish he'd been more matuer about the criticism of it.
I'm not denying the fact that he's a very talented filmmaker, his movies Bugsy, Fingers, and the Gambler are very prestigious, I'm just saying he should be able to respect the fact that someone can dislike his work and not be an idiot.
@ggweb1919 I think what he doesnt like about the review is that it's not constructive. If it's bad they could probably tell him why. The review probably said something along the lines of "this movie sucks bla bla bla". Reviews should say where it can be better so he can learn from it.
