So John McTiernan… still blacklisted from Hollywood I guess. You don’t hear from the guy much, at least people aren’t willing to give him the time of day in ‘Hollywood’ mainstream media circles, let alone give this brilliant auteur the chance to make another classic.
But if you look around you’ll find him say a thing or two to the attentive, such as the above interview with a mere 20 views on YouTube. This is from 2015 and McT talks being creatively rebellious. Film is a young format and McTiernan says there are no rules and that people should not kiss the ass of others or fall to conformity.
Good man. I think I’d rather hear McTiernan talk like this on the fringes instead of see him turn into some type of Harrison Ford involved in skits on some talk show.
