From his early films like The Roost (2005) and Trigger Man (2007), to his work with other bootstrappy filmmakers on the original V/H/S anthology, to this year's double -- no, make that triple! -- feature of X, Pearl, and soon MaXXXine, director Ti West has been a distinctive voice in the genre cinema landscape. So how perfect that he felt seen -- and inspired -- by another unique cinema voice, Peter Jackson. Jackson's first film, Bad Taste (1987), saw him play multiple roles both behind and in front of the camera. It proved to a young Ti West that if you want to make a movie badly enough, you can always go ahead and do it yourself.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Jennifer Lopez's next big (fictional) wedding.
