I wonder what I said back then..I bet it was ironic, seeing that I became Dr. Breen in Half-life 2

I get a bit angry at the shortsighted techno-luddite attitudes of these sort of comments. Read a book? Doesn't he realize that was the technology that killed our ability to recite 1000-line epic poems? And of course these guys didn't get rich and famous by having people come to see them in person, but instead they paid to sit in some dark room watching a flickering light...

Oh well.

Chevy Chase's comment is actually the most balanced and well-qualified.

Mike Keesey: Not entirely sure, but from the trivia page on the movie High Anxiety, on IMDB, it says:

"When Hitchcock walked out at movie's end without saying a word, Brooks feared that Hitchcock hated the movie. But days later, Hitchcock sent a congratulatory case of wine to Brooks, knowing that Brooks was a wine connoisseur."

So I assume that Brooks has a bit of a reputation.
