I started writing for the high school paper. Was a columnist in college.

Money? Hahahahah...

This one you can't read just anywhere, so I'll answer.

HUDSON HAWK. Danny Aiello dropping Swingin' on a Star, Sandra Bernhard and Richard E. Grant as the villains? 'nuff said.

Putting plot plot ahead of story and character. Most films endeavor to tell stories. Details which immerse us in the story tend to suffer if the filmmaker or studio feels pressured to hurry along the plot.

Good storytelling methods that elevate, rather than talk down to, audiences. People are too easily enticed by the mystery box, the twist, the end. But stories are like road trips. Nobody enjoys when summer's over.

What do you think is the biggest disappointing Oscar winning movie?

CRASH. It panders to stereotypes of racism from which we can too easily distance ourselves.

Also what movie do you think should have won instead?

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.
