1- Which film makes you laugh the most?
Probably The Blues Brothers, so many different things in it make me laugh and smile just thinking about them. Plis. you get to sing along with some awesome songs.
2- If you could be a fictional character, who would you be and why?
I kind of always wanted to run a radio station based in a lighthouse like Adrienne Barbeau in The Fog, except without the zombie leper men.
3- If you could interview anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be? (What would you ask them?)
It would be someone like Chuck Jones, Gerry Anderson or Jack Kirby who each in their own way, definied my childhood. I'd probably ask them if they had any idea that the stuff they were doing would be remembered and celebrated over fifty years on?
4- Have you ever walked out of the cinema because the film was *that* bad?
Nope, even the bad movies I've sene at the cinema have never been *that* bead. Star Trek V I've grown to love, Star trek:Generations is just rubbish, as is Batman Forever and Licence To Kill I've grown to appreciate although I didn't like it at the time.
5- Someone gives you a garden, what do you grow?
Triffids.
6- Think of a contemporary movie that you like, now recast it with Old Hollywood actors…
Ghostbusters with VIncent Price, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre? Watch Comedy Of Terrors to see them showing off their comedy chops, Price and Lorre in particular are hilarious together.
7- What was the funniest thing you experienced/witnessed this year?
There's this not very good Knight RIder game on Playstation 2, which automatically switches to slow motion whenever you're meant to do anything impressive or difficult. But it still kicks in even if you fuck it up, not being the most responsive game ever this resulted in dozens of slow motion fuck ups which eventually reduced me and the person watching to tears of laughter.
8- Name a book that you’d like to see made (or remade) into a film.
Neuromancer by William Gibson. But it needs to be done as what we thought the future would look like in the eighties, not what we think it'll be like now.
9- Is there anything that is 100% guaranteed to cheer you up?
The bit in the Mighty Boosh episode Electro where the Spirit Of Jazz enters Howard on stage. Crisps were thrown around the room on one occasion. Also the funeral in the Father Ted Christmas special and old Wile E Coyote cartoons.
10- You’re holding a fabulous dinner party for seven (including yourself), who will your six guests be? Anyone from any time.
It would all be lovely, creative people who have really influenced me in some way. So Terry Pratchett, Chuck Jones, John Carpenter, Gerry Anderson, Robert Holmes and Evan Dorkin.
11- Tell us your favourite cheesy/outrageous/hilarious pick-up line (feel free to make one up yourself).
I really don't have any, never really tried to pick people up in my life.
