Joey's Links
"Tetra is a world-class filmmaker. As much as I've experimented, I always more or less stay within the confines of what people expect films to be. Tetra isn't so confined. If there's a rule, she'll break it, and I respect her for it. Her work has touched and inspired me. Honestly, I'm not half the director she is. But I am better at reversi."
"I have a lot of respect for Joey. He's more of a storyteller, where I'm more of a mood-maker. I'm more about vibes. I couldn't do what he does. I appreciate his work, and I especially appreciate the shout-out he gave me early in my career. I probably wouldn't still be making movies if it wasn't for that."
"Insight is an exceptional actor, a once-in-a-generation talent. Better at writing dialogue than I am. More important than that, though, he's an exceptional person."
"I'm glad he gave me a shot. Beyond and Beyond, I mean. It's sad I peaked so early in my career, but that's not his fault. Ha. To be serious, Joey's a good director. I like working with him."
"Who?"
"He's a hack. Virtuous Filth was good, okay, even with its setting, but the era of the argyle drama is long over. Beyond and Beyond is his only other good film. And he's got like three million! And everyone says he's the greatest! Total hack."
"Mikel... Shel? I think I've heard the name before... Oh, yeah, Consonance, right? Insight was in it. It was a fine movie. Made much better by Insight's excellent acting."
"Ah, Joey. He has his toes in the experimental sand without stepping fully onto the experimental beach. That isn't a bad thing, it's worked for him. His filmography is terribly inconsistent, but that comes with being so prolific. My favourite of his is The Panelist, what a classic. You know, I ran into him once in Chicago..."
"& was one of the best in the business before they retired from acting... I understand and respect their decision, but at the same time, it's a real shame. And now all this stuff about them being omniscient, I don't know what to think. I guess I believe it--how could I not--but man, I thought I'd seen everything."
"It's been a very long time since I played Sea Form, but it was a great experience. That was such a fun role. Though my acting days are behind me, I'm proud of what I accomplished there. Then, Joey's writing was the real star. And he's an excellent director, of course."
