Why do you like South Park and Polanski??

Why do you like South Park and Polanski??

That’s a bizarre pairing to make.

I don’t like South Park… I love South Park, and the way it has constantly stretched and evolved. Trey Parker is one of the great comedic minds of his era, almost disturbingly productive on a level I can’t fathom, and astonishingly multi-talented… I’m pretty sure I’d enjoy hanging out with him.

Meanwhile, I like Rosemary’s Baby, and I love Chinatown… the former is an excellent movie, and the latter a top 10 all-time classic. Outside of that, I haven’t watched any of Polanski’s stuff —not even The Pianist— and while I have no doubt he has some very interesting things to say about cinema and Dorothy Stratten, I suspect he’d irritate the shit out of me in person.

So what’s next? Dave Chappelle, Woody Allen, or Joss Whedon?
