    • I was watching Law Abiding Citizen last night, it made me wonder, if God or Jesus or whoever came to Earth and blew up a building with hundreds of people inside, do you think they'd arrest him/her? I asked my Mother, she wasn't much help, so I figured I'd ask you. Haha.

    • 1. If Jesus could buy one thing, what do you think it would be? I vote an iPad or an iPhone. Everybody and their dog has one of those. Or maybe some Nike Shox. "Je-su-it!" 2. What is the number one played song on your iPod or comparable portable music-holding device?

      Any advice on how to get both of those to play nice? Thanks!

    • Brett, please use your knowledge of film to answer me this burning question, which I had considered seeing a doctor about, but finally decided to ask you since I don't have health insurance...

      Who would win in a three-way cage fight TO THE DEATH: The Brothers Quay (duct-taped together so as to qualify them as one entrant), Terry Gilliam (with Brazil-style dream sequence wings), or Tarsem Singh on horseback? Please consider that there would be lots of crazy, tripped out props in the dramatically lit and thematically dressed ring for these heavy-weight art-makers to utilize on each other, and of course it would be filmed in pixelated, Youtube resolution for all the internets to enjoy.

      Love your work! Keep it coming! :D
