Well I would love to do a movie with Paul, but he can't remember lines. And that concerns me. You know, I'd hate to have to carry him in a movie, you know? It'd be tough.
car finest liked porsche sports talking

There's going to be a lot of films in there that people are just not going to like at all. That's part of the deal. I don't think it's changed. What has changed is now, instead of 350 people there, as it was the first year, there's 40,000, 45,000.
program
We don't program (the festival) for commerciality. We program for diversity.
