Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

My neighbor told me [Republicans] keep eating his [vulnerable minority groups] so I asked how many [minorities] he has and he said he just [Votes Blue, No Matter Who] and gets a new [minority] afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding [vulnerable minorities] to Republicans and then his daughter started crying.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:z3vj3sznbplg35cnfx4dtvss/bafkreig2ukd3sswlxg2g3py5t23jjs6dzdizqk67wuw7ddrdv6wgrgbjpi)
![Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.
A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5vphilwcf6nunioeyrpxw6g/bafkreibeadpx66jtqlttglhgbgkew6g65haxqngz5yt6p3ybwyi5zney54)
