I would have asked him what Ridley Scott knows. His movies are always full of symbolic subterfuge hinting at ethereal knowledge, as are Kubrick's (obviously), the Wachowski's, and a few others.

Also, is Hollywood just like the Communications/PR dept of TPTB, or do they have a more definitive role such as influencing the collective psychology or even "directing" human behavior?

Could have been a good convo...
