frank black interviews ray bradbury
FB: In modern cinema, do you think that its become too violent or graphic, leaving less to the imagination, or is this an old fashioned kind of attitude?
RB: Mostly crap, isn’t it? Every five minutes they explode ten thousand gallons of gasoline. So that is moronic. And indeed they’re too violent. So many of them are tests between macho males trying to prove they have biceps and balls.

FB: Maybe I should pass that along to my grandmother, who’s exactly your age; she still won’t fly. I think she’s traveled around the world on boats but she still won’t get on a plane.
RB: She’s afraid of herself. Tell her to just relax and take a drink of gin and get on the plane.
FB: I’ll tell her you said so.
(thanks, Culvie.)
