Thanks so much for doing this, I'm a huge fan of your work and I can't wait to see "Only God Forgives." Three questions for you.

1.Were you surprised at the reception "Only God Forgives: got at its Cannes premier? Why or why not?

2.You said that, in the case of "Drive", what interested you was not cars but people with fetishes for cars. Is the same case for "Only God Forgives"? Not about boxing but about people who have a fetish for boxing?

3.Finally, a cliché question, any advice for any young filmmakers started out today? Thanks again.

This is going to sound like a strange question, since I'm not an American.

I live in Canada, and supposedly our internet service is pretty much third world (according to Netflix CEO). I use Telus, and their technicians seem to be independent contractors working out their own vehicles, like a franchise or something. The few times I've had to deal with technicians, they either bitched about telus and tried to help us out, or they silently did their job or left.

The best part is, they left us a card with THEIR contact info on it, so we can talk to the same tech who serviced our place if an issue can up. Does Comcast work in a similar way and do you think that a more decentralized tech system would help things go more smoothly?
