    By far the best American documentary film maker ever. The Thin Blue Line, A Brief History of Time & The Fog of War are must sees for all Americans I feel. Danny Elfman (Batman, Beetlejuice, all Time Burton films pretty much) scored this.

    always dangerous to do a pre-taped interview

    the questioner gets hours of footage and then decides which of your words the audience is allowed to hear

    The Thin Blue Line was one of the greatest documentaries of all time. It was instrumental in getting an innocent man released from prison.

    Have you watched Fog of War? Do you think Morris treated his subject fairly in that piece?

    Fog of War is incredible and honest, just like Morris's other work. I'm very confident that this new film will give us Rummy in his own words, and it should be fascinating.
