Master of horror John Carpenter doesn't 'need to see' the Borderlands film, may have quit Diablo 4 for the same reason he dropped Red Dead 2: 'I can't even get on that horse'

John Carpenter is a filmmaking genius, a horror legend, and a terrible equestrian. At least, that's my takeaway from a recent interview the director gave to Larry Fitzmaurice's newsletter Last Donut of the Night. Among questions about noir, ageing, and politics, Carpenter was asked about what's been playing lately. The answer? Not Diablo 4.

"I can't even get on that horse," said Carpenter, whose only other substantial comment on Blizzard's latest was "Oh, no no no. I can't… no, no, no." Hey, John, I get it.
