That sounds like a post in and of itself
>>2. What "classic film" makes you want to vomit? > >Hmmmm. > >It's A Wonderful Life, I guess.
Really? Wow, that's a pick. Just can't stand all that Christmas spirit huh? Oh and me? L'avventura.
>>3. (operating under the assumption you're in L.A. since >you're >>making movies) Is Tom Hanks really THAT nice of a guy? > >Yes, I'm in LA. All I hear about Tom Hanks is how great of a >guy he is, so I'd have to say yes...although I don't know >first hand.
Everybody I know in L.A. SWEARS he's the greatest man ever. I'm skeptical anybody can be that nice of a guy.
>>4. Are movies becoming a producer's medium? > >They've been that way for some time. Well...I guess it's >cyclical. The 70s brought us the director's medium (at least >in America) but yeah, it's definitely always been producer >driven.

>>7. The best and your favorite Bill Murray movie is... > >Goddamn. Hmmm. Probably Ghostbusters and Rushmore.
Good choice.
