2. AHAHAH classic!
The first one I ever saw of his was 'Heavenly Creatures.' Which I thought was SUCH a beautiful film, and also so much scarier than anything with monsters.

3. Any director who casted Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet...

5. And long before Winslet was famous.
This was her big break! And it was an awfully meaty role. With a much better script than 'Titanic!'

6. He put New Zealand on the map.
I think he screwed up, though, by putting it so fucking far away from everything else on the goddamned map.

Could somebody have a word with Flight of the Conchords?
