THAT'S WHAT HE SAID: Julian Barratt, to The Guardian

I fool myself into thinking I'm an atheist, when I'm probably a devout theist. If I was a total atheist and didn't believe in anything supernatural, then I wouldn't find horror films as exciting as I do. I'm writing a scary kids' film at the moment. I'm aiming for Donnie Darko, but it'll probably end up more like Rentaghost.


Here's hoping for the latter, J.B.

Read the rest of the interview here and be excited it exists because Mr Barratt hardly ever talks to the press. Also, pray to whatever theistic entity you pledge allegiance that these Chekhov shorts become available en-full at some point so that I can watch them.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAID: Jonathan Ames, as interviewed by The A.V. Club

AVC: Why do you think so many people have become obsessed with vampires lately?

JA: I don’t know. There must be some witty one-line answer. I guess immortality is always appealing. They’re usually very good-looking and given all sorts of powers, and they’re sexy. I don’t know. It’s a combination of being immortal and sexy. I’d like to be immortal and sexy, so I’m into vampires. In True Blood, I also like the characters that turn into dogs. I would like to turn into a dog.




So would I, Jonathan Ames, so would I. Read the rest of the interview here and watch Bored to Death when the second season premieres on September 26th. Yee-haw!
