i looked for a poll on herzog as a whole and couldn't find one so apologies if i'm just a luddite and this is a repeat.

after seeing ten or so films my vote is emphatically not crap.

I voted NC...but I'm tempted to vote crap because he didn't play the Timothy Treadwell getting eaten by a bear audio. Call me insensitive...but I'm curious as to what a crazy man getting eaten by a bear sounds like.

Ya kidding? Not Crap!

Not crap, if only for the fact that Stroszek was the last thing Ian Curtis watched before he did the rope around the throat deal.

His films are incredible.

nah, i wasn't kidding. i know people, filmies, who like herzog himself, what he stands for (?) but not his films. from what i've seen and read i like him and his films.

Herzog is my favorite director.

Emphatically NOT CRAP.

I recently saw him interviewed on the Henry Rollins Show (!?). While somewhat brief, it is always great to hear him speak about...well, anything. Considering his body of work, you would expect him to at least have a tiny bit of pretension. Yet, he is probably the most unassuming film maker I've come across.

Oh, here's a link to the interview on the Rollins show:

good interview. herzog rules.

ever seen "my best fiend" about him and klaus kinski? classic.

regarding henry rollins. my favorite rollins tidbit is when beavis and butthead decide that rollins looks exactly like jim rockford.

These days he is, at least in public, but I'd hesistate to say Herzog has always been unassuming. For instance, ever seen Burden of Dreams?
