Read all about it in a memoir by Michael Tolkin here.
Money Quote:
IS NO ONE GOING TO SAY that Robert Altman was a great pothead? Let me, then. Robert Altman was a great pothead. In the war on drugs, he won. To look at his work without thinking about marijuana’s specific gifts and poisons . . . umm . . . specific . . . What was I saying? Oh. Right. Altman. Robert Altman. I met him, did I tell you that already?
I read and laughed at the whole thing. Tolkin is a screenwriter who did “The Player” with Altman.
blogblah!!!
Wait. A filmmaker who likes to smoke weed?
I’ve never heard of such a thing.
Or if I did, I can’t remember.
