“I wish they’d get more hardcore,” the Dazed and Confused director tells The Daily Beast. “There were two ways to go, and instead of reaching out to a younger audience, just get more rigorous. Don’t pander. Don’t cut categories and say, ‘Well, nobody cares who edits.’ Bullsh*t. The industry should! And they do. But that’s been going on for a while.”
