'The Secret of Kells' was really good - it was nice to see animation in the cinema that wasn't just a pixar clone..

THE HURT LOCKER was the best film this year. It's a lock to win... put money on it.

HEY Rod!!

Good to see ya again.


How you doin? What've you been doing lately? :)



And last but not least, what was the word you called my personality about a year ago? It was so suiting.

Can't recall what I called you, but I'm sure it was something clever and charming;)

I'm making action flicks with interesting people, helped Carpenter out with THE WARD and have been talking with Dario about another collaboration, since the last one was sabotaged by numerous individuals.

Awsome dude. Living the dream.

Except for the sabotage thing, of course.
