It's Part 2 of this week's Warren Taste Test (we published Part 1 yesterday).

We've got more from Etheredge's dynamite interview with local filmmaker David Russo. (Russo is currently working on a 3-D IMAX movie with the Blue Man Group, a  follow-up to his critically acclaimed full-length feature, The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle.)

In today's segment, Warren gets the money quote—in addition the headline quote above—by asking Russo about the big-time Hollywood filmmakers who read his Dizzle script and told him to get a day job.

Russo derides Hollywood:


"We know what we can market," he says, " [but] that's not the same as—we know what people want."

Then he starts talking about movies he considers "masterpieces."
