Figured I’d ask Director Richard Kelly if he was a fan of Blu-ray on twitter and he actually responded. The tweet can be found HERE.
Here’s what Richard Kelly replied:
Major thanks to Kelly for his response and look forward to seeing (reviewing) his latest film on Blu-ray later this year.

I find it funny someone just left a comment discussing me asking Kelly to do an interview (via TEXT) as some insane idea like I thought I was Entertainment Tonight. LOL, I don’t think anything at ALL like that. I just wanted to interview a fellow Virginia native who grew up loving Sci-Fi shows, films and shares obvious love for the film industry and MOST IMPORTANTLY, BLU-RAY DISC! Get over the fact he actually replied to me and move on with your life if you think I’m trying to claim I’m some big Hollywood reporter or something you’re building yourself up with delusions.
