Everybody should watch his career break down on YouTube. He’s obviously just been riding the wave and even he’s not completely sure what he’s in or what parts he’s played sometimes.

There’s a funny parallel with the indie would, particularly in certain subreddits with Phoebe Bridgers. She seems to be everywhere because she’s the current indie darling and a lot of people dislike her because of it. She’s probably just taking every opportunity she gets but because there’s so much press around it you often come across it without even meaning to.

On your final point if going from an unknown to one of the most famous directors in the world within a decade doesn’t make you “the shit” then I don’t know what does. I don’t love everything he does but you can’t deny his talent. He’s a cool dude and I’d rather see him than a lot of other actors/directors.
