FAQs

1) What is your favorite movie?
- Well, the answer is I don’t technically have a “favorite.” I have a list of 5 films that I love equally as much. In no order of importance they are:
- A Clockwork Orange
- American Beauty
- 21 Grams
- Requiem for a Dream
- Mulholland Dr.

2) Who is your favorite actor/actress/director/writer?
- This is kind of the same situation as #1. But I’ll list my top favorites.
- Actor: Sean Penn, Steve McQueen, Al Pacino, Russell Crowe, Nicolas Cage, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, Peter Sellers
- Actress: Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Naomi Watts
- Director: Stanley Kubrick, Steven Soderbergh, David Fincher, David Lynch, Sophia Coppola
- Writer: Charlie Kaufman

I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few. Most likely, it will cost me a birthday party invitation.

3) How many movies per week do you watch?
- If my week is busy, I generally have time for about 10 films. However if I’ve got some time on my hands, I’ve been known to watch 15-20 films.

4) What do you do when you’re not watching movies?
- I think about watching movies.

5) When you watch a movie, do you think of it as work or fun?
- I enjoy watching movies of course, but after you do this for a while it begins to seem like work. With that being said, I love having a movie theater as my office, and working at home affords me the advantage of working in the nude. So now that I think about it, it is fun.

6) How do you come up with your “Final Thoughts” segments?
- Inspiration strikes in the strangest places, but other than that, it’s in the bathroom.

7) How can I contact you?
- Aside from ESP, check the “Contact Us!” area on the right side of the website. It’s all there.

8) What happened to the old website, www.standingroomonly.org?
- That was the site for many years before I arrived on the show. Then, around winter of 2004, the site stopped being updated and when The Usual Suspects left, the site was closed. I opened this one shortly thereafter. The end.
