Richard Kelly on at 25: 'It's a Miracle That Any Movie Gets Made' The director discusses his debut novel, staying true to an artistic vision, and the absurd line of dialogue from he believes will find its way into his obituary.

Despite a rough patch of glitches and cheating, there's a dedicated audience for the third-person shooter.
