There’s a long, invariably strange GQ profile detailing Harmony Korine’s latest attempts to reinvent the moving image, about which Tbd––calling your company Edglrd and combining moving-image efforts with video-game people and skateboarders: all right!––and whose oddest detail exists as just a stray line of information. Amidst the talk of his company’s multimedia excursions (e.g. letting viewers scan a Qr code and play video games side-by-side with characters in a movie) the writer, Zach Baron, asked Korine if he’ll ever make a “real movie” again.
