When I watched the movie I got the (strong) impression that the viewer is meant to sympathize with Johnny, but each new time I see it (kill me) I find Lisa's side of things more and more sympathetic: she's trapped in a relationship with a complete lunatic with whom things aren't really working, but everyone is pushing her to stay in.
My question is, did you view Lisa as the villain or as someone with equally valid motivations as Johnny?
Thanks so much for doing this! Longtime fan. (There's even a clip on youtube of Tommy calling me an idiot for asking, according to him, the dumbest question ever ("Who are your influences as a filmmaker?")

Looking back, I think he said it was the stupidest question he'd ever been asked and said it would be like him asking me who my influences were when deciding what to have for breakfast that morning (implying that neither of us were influenced). It was pretty hilarious.
I was expecting him to be a bit slow, but he was so sharp and had the audience eating out of his hand. I got a sense that he didn't fully understand why he was so popular, but sure was a genius at knowing how to run with it.
Also thanks for the answer! I will keep it in mind next time I'm able to bring myself to watch it again!

I don't want to live in a world where Ecuador can't get its stapler back.
