- Directors I love
-
I read Robert Rodriguez's Rebel Without a Crew when I was wee, then onto Scorsese with his films and the book Scorsese and Scorsese, which was in my bag or next to my bed, or on the toilet, wherever I went, for a good while. He was accompanied by Kubrick, (Full Metal Jacket especially), James Cameron with Aliens, Terminator(s), the Abyss, True Lies, all of which were watched until the videos really started to wear. John McTiernan (what happened) with Predator and Die Hard. Fincher helped me into my teens with Fight Club, a film I seen in the cinema at 14, my best cinematic experience so far. Then came a lot of film history with Francois Truffuat, Hitchcock, John Ford, Sam Peckinpah et al. I could go on with this autobiographically, but I don't want to test your attention span to much. I don't know who's leading the way now i'm in my directorless twenties, there are just to many films. I base my choice of film increasingly less on director and more on my expectations of what the film could be.
- Actors I admire
-
One that takes it a bit to seriously: Daniel Day Lewis. He is compelling in every film he is in. Paddy Considine, Julie Walters
- The best thing I own
-
I haven't yet perused other peoples profiles, but I suspect this is a cliched and a bit of a wank answer: my macbook. Sorry.
