This is Rob. Actually, this is a picture of Rob looking like the suave, ultra cool, L.A. kinda guy he is. You may know Rob from Free Enterprise, the geeky romantic comedy he co-wrote and directed back in 1998. Or from the many movies he's done DVD production work for like The Usual Suspects, X-Men II or Superman Returns. Or maybe even from the comic books he publishes through his company Ludovico Technique. But forget all that stuff for now. From this day forward, remember him from this picture. Looking like the suave, ultra cool, L.A. kinda guy he is. One evening in late September, we got the chance to chat with Rob from his editing bay and it was stellar. It was a short talk (3 hours!) and here are some of the highlights from Part I: CG water, Shoot 'Em Up, Larry Cohen and blaxploitation movies, The Exterminator, lessons from The Godfather, A Clockwork Orange, The Warriors, New Jack City, the 80's and the video revolution, Barry Lyndon, PRINCE, Clarence Williams III, mutual hatred of Red Dragon, music licensing, Rob's tactic, I Claudius, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, what is a dooku?, Superman Returns, the new Free Enterprise, Living in Infamy and Cody Banks.
