Always debate responding to forum trolls with something witty, clever, and utterly devastating. Then I think, are they going to understand how I just stomped their wee heads into the cyber-dirt? Probably not. Aw, forget it then.

WTF

How the Hell did they get that idea???

Given the calibre of the director I assume it's supposed to be artistic and abstract, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what he meant to convey.
