[net.movies] Ask Some directors of Summer SF & Fantasy films a question!

moriarty@uw-june.UUCP (05/19/84)

in-depth questions!
 
The directors and movies I'll be seeing are:

JOE DANTE		GREMLINS		June 1st
 
	Dante's previous work has included "The Howling", a wonderful spoof
on werewolf movies (one of my favorites), and the "It's a Good Life" episode
of the Twilight Zone movie.
 
JOHN SAYLES		THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET  May 26th
 
	Sayles was the writer/director for "Return of the Secaucus Seven",
"Lianna", and "Baby, It's You", and the screenwriter for "The Howling",
"Piranha", and "Alligator"  (he can really do great satires when he feels
like it); he is also a well-known author (I've seen him in the New Yorker
several times, so I guess that fills the bill).
 
AARON LIPSTADT		CITY LIMITS			June 2nd
 
	Director of "Android" (in fact, almost everyone involved in
"Android" is involved in "City Limits").
 
 
A major note:  I will be competing with other people for Q/A time.  Also, I
can decide not to ask a question on the grounds that I'd be embarrassed to
ask it.  Two things readily come to mind:  questions about the director's
personnal life, and questions whose answers are readily available in books.
Examples are "Have you divorced Elizabeth Taylor?", "What's Steven Spielberg
REALLY like?","Who played the mutated dwarf in the space meanies scene...?"
Perhaps good questions would be in the vein of "How do YOU handle science
fiction, etc.?" as all three of these are fantasy and sci-fi films.  I'll
reply to your letters about question status, etc.  I'll report other
people's questions, too, if they are interesting.
 
Well, I look forward to hearing from you... thanks in advance.
