    Please take the $360 million budget of the latest Superman remake and give us 36 more intelligent, ambitious auteur flicks like this

    Gotta respect how hard it swings for the fences and how close it comes to being an Epic Masterpiece of American Cinema.

    Thought it was more confident in it's execution than its meaning but ultimately that's fine w me. A few things were more literal than they needed to be. A few things were gestured at a bit too vaguely. Ultimately, it was thrilling and damning and great.

    Herzog goes Borat Mode on a buncha Nobel laureates asking them shit like "would you like to have a telepathic conversation with a hummingbird?" and reveling in their bewilderment. Very funny. Utterly useless as a documentary. Loved it.

    Insanely entertaining.

    In the Q&A after last night's screening at BAMPFA Herzog told us that Cage had asked what had made Terrence bad - his upbringing, the corrupt police dept, the intrusion of civilization by wild nature in Katrina, etc. Herzog told him simply to enjoy the "bliss of evil"
