| Spielberg: Averse to pimento cheese |
“I crossed the street and there he was,” said the embarrassed Turnbull. “He was waiting to cross, so I quickly got in front of him and attempted to engage him about the hidden meanings in his 1974 movie “Duel”.
Turnbull claims the director stood patiently for about one minute before he bcaked up a step and glanced at his watch. “It was at that point that I realized I ate this big honking pimento cheese sandwich about 10 minutes before, and my pimento cheese breath was somehow offending him. I continued my questioning about ‘Duel’ but he seemed not only disinterested, but got almost hostile, ordering me away from him.”
Turnbull is positive it was his breath, not his line of questioning that aggravated the famous director, who is in Richmond filming “Lincoln” starring Daniel Day Lewis.
“Why would Spielberg NOT want to talk about ‘Duel’?” Turnbull said. “It’s his best film, for crying out loud, and speaks volumes of the inhumanity of corporate America – represented by the truck – and their pursuit of the heart, soul and wallet of America’s everymen, as represented by Dennis Weaver.”
Turnbull claims that now that he knows where to find Spielberg he will be careful to not eat any more pimento cheese sandwiches before he goes off looking for him to further discuss “Duel”.
