Mr. Lee and Hollywood Video

[Dave Hutchens]

I go to work five days a week for a delightful little company (actually not so little anymore; we have over 2,000 locations now) called Hollywood Video, here in the States. I'm a director of training for them, and a store manager, so my life pretty much revolves around the business. I enjoy what I do, but one thing that can really drive me to the brink is this promotional tape we're required to play eight hours a day, seven days a week. It's called Hollywood TV, and is an endless loop of adverts and other promotional items that plays on the store monitors and audio system. Normally I'll leap at the VCR the precise moment it's safe to turn the damn thing off, but this month I'm not in such a hurry.

To my delight, Mr. Lee is featured in this month's edition of Hollywood TV, in an interview clip for the video release of The Two Towers. It's not long, only about 15-20 seconds, but what a welcome break from the monotony! One thing I don't know, though -- did Mr. Lee make these comments in an interview with my company, or was this lifted from something else? Perhaps Mr. Juan would know?
