Record your own Herlihy Boy commercial and he may consider it...

paul, how does it make you feel when, at screenings and whatnot, you are crowded by ecstatic fanboys like us?

i think we should disregard questions about specific films and directors (what do u think of donnie darko? david gordon green?) and instead ask him more general questions: "who amonst ur contemporaries, who arguably would be labeled as 'the new generation of filmmakers" do u most admire and respect? what movies in the past five years have really stuck out w/ u? etc... keep them general and let him answer instead of asking 'well what did u think of this movie/this director"

Alethia

god my questions suck.  

my first one i asked only because i had the end of almost famous on and it was the part where patrick fugit asks billy crudup "russell, what do you love about music?"

ill think of a good one....

Completely agreed. I should have kept it general. We should remember this for the future Q&A's too, this is the best guideline. Although I do think some QT-related questions could pass for now as they are somewhat relevant (new word) with Kill Bill being released recently. Then there's also that dude that made that movie Camp, the one he's doing PTA's doing a commentary with, a question about that guy wouldn't hurt either I don't think. Anything that's current and PTA related might fit. Whatever though, this is a good idea...it's a lot more simple and easy to follow.

Ha, really? That's a great question. That's cool too, I'm glad he admits that he likes it - I mean, I was always thinking he'd be freaked out by the fanboys. He's right to admit that it feels good, it must feel good...at least a little bit. Especially for a filmmaker...there's a lot that don't have very many fans at all. Brett Ratner, I am talking to you.

just ask him if he regularly hangs out with any other filmmakers and if so what they do?

Yea, but everybody that knows his name seems to hate him. Anybody that likes his movies doesn't know his name. They're mostly Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan fans, or solely Rush Hour fans...which comes close to a Ratner fan but not really cause they aren't aware of it...see what I mean?

dear P.T.

i personaly hate dreams in movies, but love when weird and strange things happen. as a director & writer you use symbolism and metaphors, but you've never weaseled out and shown quiz kid donnie smith waking up and saying "oh, the frogs were just a dream!" Do you conciously decide to not use dreams? do you hate them as much as i do?

paul, do you take cream and sugar?
