You will probably like it. As I said in the review, the group of critic friends that I saw the screening with liked it a lot. I was the only one out of the group who just “didn’t get it”

I’ve just been really excited for this movie, so, to read first your bad review and then your declination to interview David was a big “What!?” for me.

What does the last part of that sentence even mean? I don’t understand why you would write that, it sounds so snide.

Don’t get me wrong. I would love to talk to David and Viggo, but I really didn’t have any interest in this film. And the interviews are set up through the studio, and they expect 80-90% of the interview to be about the film. I would have loved to sit down with Chronenberg and talked about his career, his future, but thats not possible in this type of situation.

And believe me, I don’t take you guys for granted. I work my ass off for you guys. But you must also understand that this is a blog, and not a news site that covers everything. I’ve always gone with the theory that I will only talk about the news, movies and people that interest me personally, and that people with the same sensabilities might be interested. It’s worked out so far.

I’m sure with a filmmaker of lesser status it wouldn’t be an issue, but with Cronenberg it just seems sort of odd that you wouldn’t at least try to come up with something to ask based off 88 minutes of material the film provided.

I understand if you didn’t like the film, but like Jim said, Cronenberg appreciates criticism of his work and I think you really wasted a good opportunity to ask some questions that perhaps might have answered why the film didn’t impact you the way it has many others.
