Shooters Q&A
| Films I wish I had made |
The Sound of Music. Pretty good ratio of investment to return! |
| I cried watching |
Almost everything, these days, for one reason or another. |
| I left the cinema during |
Prospero's Books. Dreadful and unintentional bringing to life of the first act of the Emperor's New Clothes. And Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, to have a big fight with the cinema manager for my and everyone else in the theatre's money back, because it was being projected so badly. Really badly - the perforations were running through the sound gate and all you could hear was a buzzing and the sound in the background somewhere. I got about 50 people sets of complementary tickets. Good times. |
| Directors I love |
Anyone who can get a film made is worthy of admiration. I generally favour the folk who make lots of films, like Clint Eastwood and Woody Allen. Ridley Scott though, for Blade Runner and Alien and Gladiator... he's quite good isn't he? |
| Actors I admire |
Too many to list. Acting is tough. Why do they do it? I wouldn't want to. |
| Writers I respect |
Sorkin and Peter Morgan, and the Pixar guys. |
| My desert island discs |
I have so many discs, I could build a boat with them. |
| Books I have given my friends |
God is Not Great, by Christopher Hitchens, and The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett |
| My death row meal |
Humble pie, my words and my hat. |
| The best thing I own |
I got burgled one time and realised that defining yourself through things you own is not a smart move. When someone takes them all away, you're still you. |
