Interview with Ron Friedman (1986 movie writer)

[liegeprime]

I have to say, why are all these early artists/writers when being interviewed now such arrogant bastards? Have they always been this way or is it just because the success has gotten into their heads... had their early projects dumped would they be more self deprecating in their interviews. As good a read it was ( read this actually on an FB link) I feel like I wanna punch both in the face after their interviews - both Friedman and Dery.

Ego indeed, though it amuses me that he takes credit for (what in my mind) were the worst bits about Gi Joe.

I want to see a fight between Friedman and Floro Dery over the awesome stuff.

Winner has to battle Michael Bay!

Eh... interviews with other TF writers that I've watched/read seem alright (e.g. David Wise, Flint Dille, Earl Kress, Simon Furman, Kaneda Masumi, Bob Forward, Larry DiTillio) ... the more narcissistic ones seem to be a minority, but I guess they draw more attention to themselves.
