    Catherine Hardwicke, Michael Bay and Jason Friedberg. Think Hardwicke takes it out for me.

    Re: Favourite Director

    Charlie Kaufman and Quentin Tarantino are both brilliant and my favourites. I haven't checked out enough of the more 'classic' directors to make a judgement on whether they're the best or not. Scorsese's great. Out of the recent/more mainstream directors, Fincher, Nolan, Aronofsky are consistently good. Paul Thomas Anderson's been doing some interesting stuff lately -- still gotta check out The Master. I despised Magnolia but loved There Will Be Blood.

    I have massive respect for Larry Clark for just doing his thing, even when everyone calls him a filthy pedo. Bully (2001) is still one of the most intense and gritty films I've ever seen.

    I hope you're trolling. Otherwise I mourn for your soul.

    I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
