OK, so I get to talk about MEEEEEEEEE for a whole thread. How thrilling!
If you had to throw away all your movies but one, which one would you keep?
Probably my
Beauty & the Beast Collectors Edition. Its pretty and was one of my first DVD's and is a favourite of mine that i grew up with.Yes its pretty gay, but It just symbolises all of the good things I looked forward to when I was little. It started my love for film, plus it is the definition of a Disney film, and going over to Disney, and the states throughout my childhood was my favourite thing.
If not that one, then my
Who Framed Roger Rabbit collectors edition. Its pretty and is signed by the producer Robert Watts saying "Chris, Stay away from the dip!"
What is your favorite hobby, besides watching movies?
I don't want to say gaming, as thats not really a hobby, its just mindless fun entertainment. So my other favourite hobby (Because i DO see my love of movies as a hobby) would be photography. Love taking my camera out and snapping pics. Mostly urban photography. London is great for that.
Name the oldest movie you've seen.
Probably
Battleship Potemkin - 1925. Apart from the scene with the pram, im gonna be honest and ignorant here, it was pretty boring.
Name the newest movie you've seen.
That would be
Journey To The Centre Of The Earth: 3D. Surprisingly good! Most of the time i want to put my foot through Brendan Frasier’s face, but he wasnt too annoying in this and it was so much fun! It reminded me of
Jumangi. I see that as a good thing. Plus it was free, which instantly makes a movie one star better.
What is your favorite theater snack?
AAAAAAAARG BUTTERED POPCORN. Its a coronary with every bite but my god it makes my belly happy. You can’t get it over here in the UK anymore so I can only gobble it up when im in the states.
Do you avoid watching certain movies, simply because of an actor that is in them?
Mostly no. I'm willing to give every actor a chance. Even my most hated actor has the chance to bring something different and surprising to a role. Now if we were talking directors, then perhaps…
What do you now think about your new job? Are you happy with it? How has it changed your life?
At the moment im loving the job. I’m a writer for a childrens magazine over here in the UK and its good fun. The mag is called KRAZE CLUB so its basically all about mental silly gross stuff that 12 year old boys would be interested in…and more or less the same stuff im interested in. its good fun. Im enjoying the responsibility of having to write most of the magazine, the deadlines are a good thing. My last job had great perks, but was boring as hell, so this is really good for me. Keeps me motivated. Sittin at your desk researching bogies, panda’s, killer robots and dinosaurs isn’t too boring
I have more free time in the evening now which is also good, the last place I was at (A DVD magazine) meant I was out almost everynight at something. Which was fun, but nackering and I nearly died.
You seem to be a Party Animal, at least based on your posted photos. Is this true? How often do you party, and what does it consist of?
I don’t think im much of a party animal, a lot of my friends are much worse. As I said, I get to go to a lot of fun things with my job, and especially my last one. So its good fun to document them with some photo’s, because some of the press events you get sent on are so random, nothing you would normally do. And being in a media job in London, a lot of it is about…*WARNING NONCE ALERT* networking. You have to get in with the right PR people to get what you want, whilst sussing out what your competitors are doing. Plus the media crowd around where I work are all pretty young (30 and under) so its all about going out, getting drunk and looking good. There was a sitcom over here in the UK called
Nathan Barley, which was about a guy who worked in the area I work in and highlighted how ridiculously pretentious and idiotic the area and people are. Unfortunately I have fallen into this demographic. L There is a dude sitting opposite me who turned up to work on his bike today wearing a stripey black vest, braces, black leggings, winkle pickers and a top hat. He apparently is at the height of cool.
Your great loves seem to be the movies and eating. How have these pursuits evolved over the years? Do you have any interesting stories which involve both eating and the movies?
My love for movies really got going when DVD’s became popular. I started my collection hunting for my favourite films as a kid. Then when I met my first girlfriend, she really got me into films. She showed me so many awesome movies, and she loved them so much. But she could never tell me why she loved them. She could only say which bits she thought were good and exciting. So I started watching them and I guess my love for films came from that desire to put into words what I loved about them so much, and wanting to have them in my collection.
As for food, what can I say, Im a greedy pig. Its only got worse recently as I worked as a freelancer last year doing restaurant reviews round London, so I got used to having some very tasty nosh. As for combining food and films? Hmm, apart from spilling my popcorn almost every time I go the cinema, I don’t have a lot of movies & food related tales. Although, if you get your bucket of popcorn when its just got a few pieces left, and shove your face in the box and blow really hard, all the popcorn bounces around your face and you can try and catch it in your mouth. Its fun
What places which you have not traveled to would you really want to see? What would you do there and why? What places which you've already been to would you like to visit again? What would you see or do next time which you missed earlier?
Id love to see more of the States. Ive only ever visited the east coast so id love to more of the middle bits and the west coast. Plus Canada would be cool too. One thing I really really want to visit though is a Glazier. Im off travelling next year and we plan to visit one in New Zealand. They just look so strange. Massive massive amounts of incredibly slowing moving ice melting into different shapes. I would love to hike over one of those for sure. I also would like to visit the Salt Flats. Are there some in the states? I know there are some in Central America somewhere. I love the idea of that flat, pure white ground stretching for miles and miles. It looks so strange. So yeah, those are certainly two natural landscapes I would like to see. Id also love to do the Inca Trail and see the temples. Theres something fascinating about putting your hands on a structure that was built on earth over a thousand years ago…
As for places ive already been, I would love to go back to Washington DC and Boston (Seds
) only because I enjoyed walking around those cities so much.
If you could time travel, when and where would you go? Would you try to stay in low profile or would you take a chance and try to change the outcome of past or future events?
I would travel back to the turn of the century over here in the UK. It was so exciting and screwed up. Victorian London would be an incredible thing to see. I might try and suggest that the sailors on the Titanic keep a pair of binochulars on them at all times, but other than that I don’t think I would change a lot.
I would also love to travel back to 1950’s America, just after world war two. It has a similar kind of feel to Victorian England. A booming society, with loads of dreams and inventions and hope but heavily subdued by social etiquettes. 1950’s Manhatten would be awesome.
What is your favorite word?
Plinthe. Its so nice to say, although a little spitty.
What is your least favorite word?
Audacity. It’s a stupid word that silly people use to sound better than others.
What turns you on, excites, or inspires you creatively, spiritually, or emotionally?
Films, obviously. But other than that classical music and instrumental film scores. The best are Thomas Newman, Alan Silvestri, Alexandre Desplat and James Horner. John Williams is the legend, but I find his stuff so over the top and wonderful it just makes me wanna whack a film on.
What turns you off?
Loud noises and TV.
What sound or noise do you love?
When you pour coca cola into the glass, and the foam has died away, you put your ear real close to the glass and you can hear the millions of fizz bubbles popping.
What sound or noise do you hate?
URGH, metal knives and forks scarping on china plates.
What is your favorite curse word?
Sh!tminge
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Graphic Designer
What profession would you absolutely not like to participate in?
Labourer. Im way too lazy and impatient.
If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
You did the best you could and didn’t miss out on anything.
Can you speak with an American accent and be believable?
Not really no. I just sound like a camp fashion designer.
Why are you excited about the movie
WALL-E?
I really don’t know. I have a thing about robots. Im a huge science fiction fan, and a massive softy, so I guess when science fiction comes up with a new story about whether love can be created artificially; I just find it really interesting. Im a huge fan of
2001, A.I, The Iron Giant, Bladerunner and even
Short Cicuit so I guess WALL*E just appealed to this. Plus I adore Pixar and the characters they create. They have such a good way of creating these really memorable characters that you know and love instantly. And Wall*E I just fell in love.
Who's the designated driver when you and the gang hit the clubs?
No one, Night bus and the London Underground all the way!
Your posts make me laugh, were you funny as a child, too?
Thanks.
I dunno, I guess so. Mostly I try to make people laugh so they don’t actually see how painfully shy and immature I actually am.

Me too... I think I would also enjoy randomly shooting at art work on the walls and "hanging out" on my own personal cross in the living room.
