Is your kid old enough for The Empire Strikes Back? TL/DR: Maybe, maybe not. Jesse would approve.

Someone asks the important question, though--when do you tell them about the prequels?

Never would have been good for me.

I just saw Super. I think I liked it. It was pretty uncompromising with the violence, and the turns from funny to disturbing can be wrenching. But I think I liked it.

Note: I haven't seen Kickass so I can't compare.

Did different people read different roles? Or did you assume the main character was black just because the reader of the whole book was black?

I could have sworn I made the assumption based on something the reader said, but it may have been solely based on the voices Henry did.

I didn't assume that all the characters were black but I was certain the main character was.

He did black voices? I'm not getting what you're saying. Maybe I should listen to it.

For the record, I got that he was West Indian, most likely Jamaican, but I don't remember an explicit calling out of race.

Is there a cinematographer-turned-director who's won multiple Oscars for the former?

There's Steven Soderbergh, who has won an Oscar for directing and does all of his cinematography under the pseudonym Peter Andrews.

Barry Sonnenfeld would also fit the bill if he had won some Oscars.

They are all who spring to mind just now.

Soderbergh, eh? I like it. But I thought he retired.

First I've heard of it. But I don't ususally trust these guys when they say they've retired. Something interesting comes along and they're right back in the saddle.

Nice one, Fiona! Soderbergh is an interesting possibility.

Yeah, me neither. But he did make a statement recently about retiring in the near future.
