I will post the relevant text. Tom Ford is being interviewed about his movie A Single Man:
"AS if on cue, Jason Reitman, the Academy Award-nominated director of Juno, approached Mr. Fords table at the Beverly Hills Hotel. He had seen the film in Toronto and wanted to say how much he loved it.
Mr. Ford brightened at the unexpected visitor. Earlier, he had been discussing how different viewers gay men, straight women reacted to a poignant moment where Charley professes her love for George and threatens their friendship. Were you moved emotionally, even though you are straight? Mr. Ford asked Mr. Reitman of the scene. Mr. Reitman looked confused. He wondered aloud if Mr. Ford was hitting on him.
No, I wasnt coming on to you, Mr. Ford said.
Mr. Reitman did not recall the scene. When Mr. Fords guest began explaining its particular resonance with some viewers, Mr. Reitman scolded her: movies are not meant to be told that way, he said.
He continued the lecture as Mr. Ford watched, wide-eyed and nervously laughing. Mr. Fords interview was being derailed.
You should go away now, he told Mr. Reitman, whose latest film is Up in the Air. He extended his hand to say goodbye. It was great to see you.
Mr. Reitman, though, kept talking.
You are going to really kill me, arent you? Mr. Ford told him.
After Mr. Reitman left, Mr. Ford turned to his guest and said, I just asked, What did you think?
Next time, better to keep to the script."
