Pick for 6.20.12 – “Beyond the Black Rainbow”

Posted on Sunday, June 17th, 2012 by Support Independence

Over the years, I had written a few screenplays that I didn’t really show to anybody much, but then I started making short films just as a learning process, making them for myself to help me explore. And then my father’s death really lit a fire under my ass; time really seemed of the essence, and I had an image of myself not having done it by a certain age, and I couldn’t live with that. [Laughs.] So I just had to do it.

Pick for 6.19.12 – Mondo Game Show Featuring “The Running Man”

Posted on Sunday, June 17th, 2012 by Support Independence

This is television, that’s all it is. It has nothing to do with people, it’s to do with ratings! For fifty years, we’ve told them what to eat, what to drink, what to wear… for Christ’s sake, Ben, don’t you understand? Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. Listen. They love game shows, they love wrestling, they love sports and violence. So what do we do? We give ‘em *what they want*! We’re number one, Ben, that’s all that counts, believe me. I’ve been in the business for thirty years.
