Columnist, Squawk Box
Found online at:
Tell me about your column and your latest projects.
My column is called ‘Squawk Box’ and is supposed to be about the process of writing for film and television, but often isn’t. Sometimes it isn’t about anything at all, which I pretend is post-modern irony but is actually because I don’t know what to write.
Who or what are the biggest influences on your work and If you could pick one person to collaborate with living or dead, who would you pick?
The people that invented Final Draft and a producer with money and no interest in interfering with my interpretation of creative alchemy.
What album had the most influence on your adolescence?
Fun House by the Stooges.
What were your favorite toys or games from your childhood?
I had a plastic sword in a plastic scabbard which I liked a lot. (I eventually broke it over Colin Worsfield’s head and he never spoke to me again. It was worth it, though.)
What is your pop culture guilty pleasure? (What movie, tv show, band, etc. do you love that you know is awful, but you love it anyway?)
I only really like the awful ones.
If you could own one piece of artwork by any artist, who would you choose and why?
The Mona Lisa, so I could sell it and buy many sweets and the biggest pineapple in the store.
What are your favorite television shows that you feel ended too soon?
Surely the ones you like all end too soon?
Who is your favourite super hero?
I am not that much of a geek. Superheroes and comics are not my thing. *Shudders*
If you were to have dinner with 5 people living or dead, who are they and what would you serve?
William Goldman, Steven Spielberg, Iggy Pop, Frank Black and Bono.
I would serve everyone lots of food except Bono, who would be told that his had gone to the poor in Africa. Then I would throw him out because he’s actually quite annoying.
What fictional character do you identify most with?
John McClane.
What 5 movies could you watch again and again?
Se7en, The Godfather, the Godfather 2, Cabaret, Pulp Fiction
What book or author do you regularly recommend?
Read the script of SE7EN, by Andrew Kevin Walker instead.
What are your favourite web sites?
imdb, PoliticsHome, Political Betting, Red Tube, Pop Bitch Board
What are you most looking forward to geeking out over in the coming year?
Just internet porn, as usual. And football (English, not American.)
