how do you pronounce "Linklater", as in the film director?

I'm pretty sure it's just like it looks. I'll look around for some entertainment clips promoting the upcoming "A Scanner Darkly" movie and post a link later.

I always pronounced it link latter.
So, that must be it.

I pronounce it this way:

MACRO-se-fal-us

But that's just me.

lint-ka-ter. Which is obviously wrong, but it's not like I'm ever going to meet him.

Well, like, there are lots of ways you could pronounce it? So like, if you meet the guy, probably a good plan would be to, you know, like, ask him? He seems like a cool guy and all from the DVD commentaries and interviews of him that I've seen, so I don't think he'd like have a problem with you asking? And even if you got it wrong, he'd probably be like cool about it and say, "I get that all the time." and then he'd correct you, but like, in a really cool way? So like, if you're really worried about it, I'd probably just say don't worry about it so much because it's probably not worth worrying about? I mean, are you like planning to travel to Austin or anything in the near future? Because it'd be totally boss if you ran into him, but like, what are the chances, y'know? But like, if you are going and you do run into him, say hi for me? Because he's like, my favorite director? Well, one of my favorites, y'know? Because you really shouldn't play favorites and stuff, at least not on stuff that's not, like, important and stuff? So, yeah. Like... umm... catch ya later and junk.

Thus ends my style parody. My head, like, hurts and junk.

According to NPR, it's "linkletter".
