why is Theroux a twat?
I'm not saying he is a twat, I'm saying I think he's a twat, it's my own subjective opinion.
Okay first of all cause he's a patronizing cunt, he always asks those annoying smuggy questions that are just aimed at embarassing and denigrating the people he's interviewing. Like in the meth doc, there's an old couple who have been daily meth users for years, they had to give up their children because of it, and he's just there asking provocative questions like "do you think choosing meth over your children makes you a good parent?"
He completely fails to emphatize or understand the people he interacts with, where they're coming from or why they ended up in the state they are. He seems to give out a moral judgement and look down on some of the human specimen featured in his documentaries.
I don't know maybe I just watched the meth one when I was in a bad mood and got a wrong impression of him, but really while I was watching that I was struggling to believe how some of the people refrained from decking him, probably just because of the camera and the fact he was paying them to be featured in there.
I thought he was annoying in the prison one too.
