WERNER HERZOG HERO-WORSHIP
November 13, 2007 6:45 AM Subscribe
Werner Herzog sees Harmony Korine waiting for him in a London hotel lobby. Immediately, the 65-year-old yells out “My director!” Beaming, Korine skips over to Herzog, embraces him and shouts “My hero!” Herzog hero-worship is easy to understand. He has the charisma of man who has really interesting stories to tell – like when he tackled grizzly bears in Alaska, or when he contracted tropical diseases in the Amazon, or when he swam under ice in Antarctica. He also has the dangerous magnetism of a guy who gets into mad adventures - like when he ate his shoe after a bet, or when he jumped from a fourth floor window as a dare, or when he was shot by an unknown assailant during a TV interview, or when he saved Joaquin Phoenix from a car wreck. So, yeah, Herzog is pretty heroic...

Is this really a straight copy of the beginning of an interview from Vice? Complete with ripped links and everything? I don't know if that's cool.
Also, Werner Herzog has always made bloated films that are overmade and underthought.

When Crispin Glover calls you "a fucking madman", you win.
