when artists alienate their fans

David Poland reports:

[The director Ang Lee has] become a more and more relaxed interview (as we found on his Lust, Caution LWD), the highlight so far being his discussion of The Ice Storm, which he says he should have called “The Fuck You Movie,” as the choice to do it was a direct response to having made “nice, heartwarming” films. He said, “A lady would come up to me and say, ‘I just loved Sense & Sensibility,’ and I’d just want to punch her in the face.”

This guy just managed to ruin not just that one movie but his entire oeuvre for me.

Dear Ang Lee: consider this the Fuck You post.
