   Good show yet again.
   Just so you know, Iceland is part of Scandinavia, it was even a part of Denmark at one time until we got our independence in 1944, a day so important to us that we named microwave dinners after it. That’s patriotic eating right there.
   I’ll think of a question later on when I’m less hung over.

   Hey guys,

   Been listening since the first podcast and I really hope you guys keep these coming, it’s been interesting to hear your point of view on “the business” (of creating film) and I really dig the idea of the collaborative process that you two have used in creating your films. 

   So I guess my question is this: You guys really seem like good friends, which I imagine is crucial, but have you ever had an intense difference of opinion with… well… anything, where it hampered the process of creating a film?  Like story lines, cinematography, shit, even music/soundtrack? 

   Has there ever been a situation where you guys couldn’t get beyond your differences?

   Film examples and the description of the situation (if there ever was one) would be much appreciated! 

   If it matters, I really enjoyed Broken, it’s such a black hole of a film and I really appreciate the care you guys put into making it.  It shows in a big way.

   Thanks again for the awesome podcasts and the fishbowl you guys have willing put yourselves into with your adventures in LA.  Good luck and I can’t wait to get my hands on “Blood River” and “Devil’s Chair”.

   What, you did not post the podcast where I was invited and talked french? Bastards. Anyway so you don’t play guitar anymore on those??

   So a bit early for that question, but by the time you record the podcast it will be ok: what about INDY 4? (although Adam don’t seem to give a fuck about it..)

   Ok, so hope to see you guys in Sitges, for what I just heard from Cannes, they want our short film, DEAD BONES, so get there guys.

   Regarding American Psycho. I think if this film would be made today it would be totally different and would most likely fall in to the whole “Torture Porn” category these days. But I think it would be very hard to tackle the subject regardless because some of the scenes in the book are just out right revolting. Plus the hard core sex would probably have more trouble than the violence I think since we all know a pair of balls is more damaging to a person than seeing a rat being forced in to a woman’s vagina.

   As for the fat ponytailed git who slaged you off. I’ve met a few of those and I’m sure I’ve been one myself, I was never fat but I certainly used to have ponytail and a goatee back in the day, but I was young and needed the money so lets never speak of it again.
   While I have talked shit about other filmmakers I’ve always given them props for actually getting off their ass and made a film, no matter how shitty they are. They did something that I never did and only dreamed of doing and that goes a long way in my book.
   I have been writing for a few years and had a short version of a horror script that I co-wrote produced last year so I’m getting there hopefully. That script is being pimped around in Cannes at the moment so fingers crossed.

   So one final thing.
   When you prepare a film, how do you go about designing the look of it, in terms of feel, color and composition. I know many filmmakers put together a scrap book of images that inspire them and make a color pallet for the cinematographer and the production designers. And how does working with digital compare to film?
