That's not the experience I seemed to derive from the guy. I was sort of his escort at the Avignon Film Festival, essentially a gofer, but when we got together and started talking movies, it was a huge lovefest. I am particularly proud of recommending "Three Extreme" to him, which he had never heard of (his similar recommendation was "Survivor Style 5"). Afterwards, he gave me a big warm hug- just seemed overly genuine. If it's an act, it's a helluva act.
