On the plus side, in a no publicity is bad publicity kind of way, Terry's outspoken ways are probably making him relevant to a generation of film bloggers who probably otherwise wouldn't have any idea who he is. Even if that's purely as a hate figure. Pretty depressing for those of us who love him and his films, and it must be a total nightmare for the PR guys trying to get people to see and support (and distribute) the film. These are humourless and reactionary times though, and there are some things, it seems, that you simply cannot joke about if you don't want to be attacked on Twitter. He is being watched so closely now, and they're out for blood. Every time he attends a festival they will be sharpening their knives, ready to pounce and quote him out of context. I don't think these people will be happy until Terry is totally black balled from the industry, and he's making it easy for them. I really hope someone with influence in his close circle of friends can convince him to be more careful when speaking in public!
