Nice interview. I had to laugh though when you were talking about the jocks v. geeks. I don’t know what it is, but something tells me you were this close to saying “suck it, jocks”. Just the picture of that is still making me giggle.

Comedy and science fiction; for when you really, really don’t want to win an Oscar.

Well, at least Young Frankenstein got a couple of nominations. Deserved more.

In Adelaide, football would sometimes refer to something called AFL (sometimes known as Aussie Rules), but it appears in this instance football = soccer.

In other places football = rugby league or rugby union. And of course, in North America, football = gridiron.

In America association football jerseys are acceptably geeky. Albeit not nearly as poindexteriffic as a bit of jugger kit would be.

It doesn’t play for me either. I’m using Firefox on a Mac.

That actually looks more like a soccer jersey, John.
