to:
It\\\'s also really \\\"informal\\\". And if you\\\'re the one being casually discussed like a test subject, it\\\'s humiliating and infuriating.

It kind of reminds me of some of the bullying arguments I\\\'ve had about Casey Heynes - if you remember it vividly, it looks triumphant. But to the 90% who just coasted through their childhood, as neither victim nor victimizer, if you\\\'ve never been bullied, it must look brutal and insane. And speaking as someone who\\\'s been bullied, all the formalized clinical critiques of bullying piss me off like Holocaust denialism.

Someone has to say NO - and keep saying it until it sticks. Unless you say it out loud and plainly, all I can think, like Kyoshi, is that you\\\'re a would-be pirate who wants a letter of marque.

to:
(Herzog made a documentary about his work with Klaus Kinski, but VitriolicBestBuds doesn\\\'t quite cut it. They weren\\\'t \\\"best buds\\\", vitriolic or not.)
* WhatTheHellHero: Some fans and critics had this reaction, due to \\\'\\\'Rescue Dawn\\\'s\\\'\\\' innacurate and extremely-negative portrayal of deceased soldier, Eugene Debruin. Herzog himself expressed remorse over the portrayal in the \\\'\\\'Rescue Dawn\\\'\\\' [=DVD=] bonus featurettes.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He has a thing about chickens. Knowing this makes the ending of \\\'\\\'Film/{{Stroszek}}\\\'\\\' make a lot more sense.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: He also said of Klaus Kinski: \\\"People think we had a love-hate relationship. Well, I did not love him, nor did I hate him. We had mutual respect for each other, even as we both planned each other\\\'s murder.\\\"
(Is that from the narration in \\\'\\\'My Best Fiend\\\'\\\'? Then it might actually count, but the example doesn\\\'t say.)
* SignatureStyle: ZeroContext.
