>I can't imagine MZ being too pleased with that montage of him repeatedly ducking the Winklevi.

Right around the time of the movie's release he made a donation of $100 million to the Newark, New Jersey school system. At the time, there was quite a bit of speculation that it was to gin up good press ahead of the pretty negative portrayal of him in the movie.

I don’t know if I have one. I love Martin Scorsese, but I almost like him more as a public academic than a director (though I love his films).

I’ve been on a Fellini binge lately, but while his good films are masterpieces, there’s a fair amount of stuff I don’t respond to.

I think David Lynch is great, but outside of Mulholland Drive, I have to be in the mood.

Billy Wilder might be a good answer, but I’m not sure his highs counteract the lows.

Wong Kar Wai? Guillermo Del Toro? Again, too few films that I love, but the ones I love, I love deeply.

It’s really hard, so I’m much happier making top 5 or 10 lists.

Kubrick and Bergman.

Bergman's ability to make incredibly engaging, engrossing movies about depressed people who sit around having conversations is unreal.
