What did you think of Superman having a child in Superman Returns?

I felt it was handled inappropriately. The whole thing about Superman leaving to go find a bit of Krypton was ridiculous. He knows the planet was destroyed... that part of the plot made no sense to me. It made Superman out to be this absent father who bailed on Lois. It didn't (to me) feel like something Superman would've done.

Thanks Lord!

What do you think about the new 52?
I can honestly say I have no clue as to what that is.

What do you think about Action Comics 1 writen by Grant Morrison?
The guys a bit of a legend, certainly made a name for himself. I don't feel the need to keep re-inventing Superman. Making new #1 to me is a bit of a gimmick. You don't need gimmicks when you can just tell good stories. As far as Morrison goes... I don't think he was ever better than when he wrote The Invisibles. I did like his JLA run in the mid/late 90s too.

What do you think about Goerge Lucas?
I like the guy... or rather, I want to like the guy. He's probably fun to have a pint with. But as far as what he's doing to Star Wars? He's going too far and I don't particularly think his changes are for the better. I've just had to drawn the line and not purchase his product. I grew up with Star Wars (the original ones) and so for him to change them now feels self-serving and not for the betterment of the pictures.

What do you think about Star Wars episode III?
It has it's moments. The great thing about the newer trilogy is that Ian McDiarmid could be Palpatine again. Not much else to say about it really.

What do you think about Spider-Man 3?
I waited to see that one a few weeks after the release... so there was all this hype about how god-awful it was. At the time I thought the mania was overrated and that it wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. Upon subsequent viewings I can see how Raimi dropped the ball. The great shame of it, ultimately is that he couldn't redeem himself with a Spidey 4.

What do you think about Life?
The board game? I never liked it.

What's your job?
I'm a 3D animator. Although my real full time job is being a husband, and a father to two rambunctious cats.

What do you want to accomplish in life?
I haven't figured that out yet. My father died a few years ago so I definitely feel the need to make him proud of me.

What is you favourite type of art? (like cinema, comics books, paintings, etc)
Definitely cinema and music. I'm also a huge fan of comic art. But ultimately if I had to put them in order, I'd pick music first. It's just the most beautiful form of expression we have and really touches our souls doesn't it? Cinema/film would be next, followed closely by comics.

Sorry about the loss of your dad

Thanks, that's a kind thing to say. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. It's the worst thing I've ever been thru in my life and I pray no one has to experience the loss of a parent.

What was your favorite class in school?

I was really good in Chemistry, and also enjoyed every History class I took.

Which class did you hate?

I was really good at math (algebra, trig, calculus) though I hated math.

Have you ever traveled over to the United States? If so, what were your likes & dislikes?

Many times (read the Ponyboy story on Pg 2) it tells you of one of my adventures in Florida.

Likes: Everything seems to be open until midnight. Southern hospitality. Cheap internet. Chick Fil A. Cheetos. Air conditioning. Cheap CDs/Blu-rays/random electronics. Southern style biscuits (and gravy). Cornbread. You can't get that eatin' here!

What's also great is that people in California are totally different from, let's say, people in Florida. It's like a different country almost... Manners are different, accents are different. The diversity is great!

Dislikes: People who drive & talk/text (it's illegal here in NZ). Umm... people who pitch crazy-bi*ch-fits at retail stores to get what they want. People who think Australia and New Zealand are the same place

Do you consider yourself a good cook? If so, what is your specialty?

What is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

 

[Ponyboy]

Do you consider yourself a good cook? If so, what is your specialty?

My cooking is average. I do a really nice chicken fettucini where I make the noodles. Also spaghetti with my own special tomato sauce... Mmmm. Though I have to say my specialty is "french toast"... for some reason people always rave about it.

What is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?

Probably alligator.
