During yesterday's Santa Barbara Film Festival director's panel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly helmer Julian Schnabel was asked about the Sean Young heckling incident. I'm told he said he was basically delighted by the whole stink because it raised his film's profile like almost nothing else and created a solid positive-sympathetic vibe on the film's behalf. A very cool, adult, grown-up attitude....cheers.

I saw a post Bell Q&A with him and he came off as an ego with legs, but maybe it was discomfort in front of a live audience. This report and a couple of recent interviews (include a chunk of Charlie Rose) I've seen tell me I had him all wrong.

I saw some of that Charlie Rose and, Jesus, this guy takes his time forming thoughts. It wouldn't take much alcohol to get me hollering at him. As it was, I just turned the channel.
