Oct 5 2007Wes Anderson, Jason Schwartzman Interview Proves Awkward

Of all the things learned through this interview with The Darjeeling Limited writers, the best was the reminder that Wes Anderson is just as much of an awkward geek as I want him to be. There was barely any arrogance to be seen amidst the stammering and involuntary sneering. In contrast, any interview I've seen with Michael Bay is full of bravado, and he never seems to think it's necessary to explain his idiotic '80s yuppy hair. Is it wrong that, after artistic talent, geeky humility is my next favorite directorial attribute?

If you'd rather read the interview in a condensed format, it's here. But why?
