If you continue to be boring, I will hire an actor in New York to pretend that he’s Errol Morris. If you haven any casting suggestions, I’d appreciate that.
In all honesty, I don’t see what everyone’s so up-in-arms about. True, the tone of the letter is a little direct, pushy, and rude, but what Harvey is saying makes perfect sense. It’s shrewd...
