Never understood this question - favorite works are already listed above... And what good are discs on a desert island? There would be no TVs or DVD players even if we had them... It'd just be a big fat depressing tease. So, I guess I'd bring discs that reminded me how crappy most films are so I wouldn't miss movies so much. But you all know how passionate we are about being apart of that rare gem of a film, so even that wouldn't work. A pack of plague infested wolves couldn't chase us away from our work and this impossible business. Am I over-thinking this? :) Next question please...

The works of Jeffrey Lent.

A big, thick, rare steak, double stuffed baked potato, creamed spinach or creamed corn, and a 30-year-old bottle of single-malt scotch. After a meal like that, I'm pretty sure I would die.

Whatever makes my life and job easier, regardless of cash value - in short, FINAL DRAFT. The software of champions.
