"I finally got around to watching 1984 — ya know, the one with John Hurt? Anyway, it was bleak, like really grim. You could feel the totalitarian system grinding this poor guy into a powder. So, I turned to my friend and I said to him, 'This movie is outrageous, man. I mean, it's really Orwellian!'"
