Oh, I don't know that the interview was "disappointing" per se, I mean it think it revealed more about Ken Russell than some sharing of anecdotes. The interviewer was clearly out of his league though, and had me wondering if he was channeling the spirit of Chris Farley - "remember the Marilyn Scene? That was cool" nto to mention Abbot and Costello when we were on the verge of "Who was in the film." I believe Ken Russell mercifully put an end to the Q&A with a "I think we're done now," but I wonder how it would have gone if Ken Russell's cane did connect to the interviewers head, of if he might have taken a clue from the Oliver Reed tidbit and just said, "Piss off Ken."
In any event, the night felt like a Ken Russell film and I smiled broadly through the night. Loved Tommy but now I feel the need to go back, and have a personal Ken Russell film festival to fill in my Ken Russell gaps.
