I'm Listening Now and this is the most tedious interview I've heard in months. Stop the glad Handling. Steve B. , Lenny lopate, Sierra Miller. The unholy trinity. nothing interesting. Steve B. "um aaaa yeah ,fascinating She's Incrediable" Miller, " oh aaaa yeah he's fantastic. when I do this its very difficult" Lenny "BraVE BRAVE BRAVE"
Dear Mr. Lopate
Yes, I think this is a good idea, especially in the talented hands of someone like Mr. Buschemi. I'm sure the majority of directors would not have the courage to take on a Van Gogh film.
I like some of Van Gogh's films, particularly "Blind Date (1996). Unfortunately, too many people think of "the man" (Theo Van Gogh)and his unpopular comments, political positions and views on life which makes his work a lightning rod for negative commentary.
I wish Mr. Buschemi and Ms. Miller the best of luck moving forward with "Intereview". I saw the trailer on line and it looks great!
