Right on, Josey Wales Motor Sales. I was a writer at TV Guide when you could actually do good journalism there, before Rupert Murdoch (aka The Antichrist) bought it. (I also studied with Judith Crist at Columbia J. School. She was a tough old bird who took pride in being a tough old bird. I didn't see much of her…

@Aldo: I don't see how you can say that if you read this interview. The guy is obviously intelligent and no egomaniac. I came away very impressed. It didn't hurt that I thought he was excellent in Training Day and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead.
