Flying Ashtrays

It’s possible to love Errol Morris, if only for this one line from a recent interview when asked whether he’d be interested in filming a certain Republican 2024 presidential candidate: “I need to make a film to learn this guy is shallow?”

While fun and learned, Morris can also be prickly, evidence for which can be found in a recent interview in the New York Times. It’s no wonder Morris’s grad advisor once threw an ashtray at him.
