IntroductionI&#39;ve written 19 films that were carelessly slapped onto celluloid: 3 for HBO, 2 for Showtime, 2 for USA Net, and a whole bunch of CineMax Originals (which is what happens when an HBO movie goes really, really wrong). I&#39;ve been on some film festival juries, including Raindance in London (four times - once with Mike Figgis and Saffron Burrows, once with Lennie James and Edgar Wright). Roger Ebert talked about me with Gene Siskel on his 1997 &quot;If We Picked The Winners&quot; Oscar show. I&#39;m quoted a few times in Bordwell&#39;s great book &quot;The Way Hollywood tells It&quot;. My USA Net flick HARD EVIDENCE was released on video the same day as the Julia Roberts&#39; film Something To Talk About and out-rented it in the USA. I&#39;ve also written a whole bunch of theatrical projects that never got made (I got paid) and was stupid enough to actually *turn down* the job of adapting Dan Brown&#39;s ANGELS &amp; DEMONS. On the personal side - I&#39;m single and fat and 6 foot 4 inches tall. Like dogs, hate cats.<br> <b><i><a href="http://sex-in-a-sub.blogspot.com/2006/04/do-i-even-have-time-to-blog.html">Why is the blog called Sex In A Submarine?</a></i></b>
