What's the best movie of all time?
Network. It's the most prescient piece of art I'm aware of. Too bad we no longer have Paddy Chayefsky around to tell us what's gonna happen next.

The Last Seduction, because I was living here, delivering pizzas, when I wrote it. Then again, it also makes me think of my ex-wife. And pizza.
Who's your favorite movie personality?
The giant killer marshmallow in Ghostbusters. He was totally himself.

Popcorn. Butter. Come on.

The Loft. I like that my ($7.50) buys me about 200 seats.

In all fairness, shouldn't that be a multiple-choice question? What's the best movie filmed in Topeka?

Tucson Park District. Ask for Miss Ada.

One at which you're not pitching. Or paying.
