And I didn’t even get to speak to Carpenter during my visit; absurdly enough, by arrangement with the film’s publicist, the interview in this piece was conducted over the phone several days later, with Carpenter calling me from Hollywood, after I returned to Hoboken, making the cassette recorder I had carried on my trip completely unnecessary and some portions of this piece necessarily deceitful.

"Welcome to my newsletter, a monetized site you can subscribe to for $5 a month to receive posts a few times a week. I plan to write one new post, as well as share two related (or sometimes unrelated) archival posts."

"Next week I will have a review of Disclosure Day, the new Spielberg, as well as four separate reviews I wrote of A.I. Artificial Intelligence over a 23-year period. New posts will only be accessible to paid subscribers."
