Hi Michael -- it's good to be back. I've been working hard on a new collection of short stories. Plus, I just haven't watched too many movies lately because everything I was picking sucked and the disappointment was depressing. I'm glad that someone else noticed the weird distancing quality of Aster's work. It would be interesting to see him direct somebody else's script, but I have an idea he's another Tarantino who really isn't interested in that.
