"He continued the interview while bleeding quietly in his boxer shorts"

Werner Herzog Is A Bad-Ass

http://www.iwatchstuff.com/archives/2006/02/werner_herzog_is_a_badass.html

During a recent interview with Werner Herzog, regarding his documentary Grizzly Man, the director was shot by an air rifle. Here's the God-dammer of it: He kept doing the interview.

"He had a bruise the size of a snooker ball, with a hole in. He just carried on with the interview while bleeding quietly in his boxer shorts."

An unrepentant Herzog insisted, "It was not a significant bullet. I am not afraid."

Officially, Werner Herzog is now my front-runner for Bad-Ass Director of the Year, so step-it-up Penny Marshall. I know you have it in you.

1. I didn't know there were *insignificant" bullets.
Any bullet that hits me is a significant one in my book. Damn.

2. Reminds me of that old SNL bit "Who's More Grizzled"

3. Well, Sam Peckinpah has been dead 20 years, now...
...but I'm not sure how much of a true "badass" he was, anyway.

4. A real badass would have grabbed the air rifle
and twisted it into as pretzel around the shooter's neck before continuing the interview. Letting someone get away with shooting him puts him on the wuss-of-the-year list, IMO! :)
