I know him - I've met him a few times because he lives here in L.A.  
He's hilarious, I think.  I have a copy of "Reflections of Evil" - I 
don't know if it is burnable, but since Damon was giving them away, I'm 
sure he wouldn't mind if I made copies.

The whole ROE story is pretty amazing.  The short form is this:  Damon 
gets inheritance.  Damn spends it on a complicated and unwieldy dream 
project in 16mm that also incorporates old ads, TV spots from ABC in 
the 60's, music from every 70's movie soundtrack, and a Tony Curtis 
intro from some Laserlight DVD.  Then he makes THOUSANDS of copies and 
gives them all away.  He mails one to EVERY PERSON in the Hollywood 
Creative Directory.  He is so thrilled to make a film that he wants to 
give it to everyone, free.

Of course, he is deemed a pariah, immediately, and people shun him.

I have this, too, and it's a riot!  I love this guy's films.  Someone 
should give him 100 million bucks to make Lord of the Rings movies.  
They would be really great.  He's a more deeply troubled and peculiarly 
visionary filmmaker than anyone making those epics today.  Let him 
direct the last 3 Star Wars movies and they would actually be good.  No 
kidding.
