Well, Hook is/was a jerk. Funny guy, but not someone you’d want running anything. Had the chance to see his movie in Seattle a couple years back, and it sucked. Looks like he’s doing some writing now, but he doesn’t seem to really have much depth as a person. I just get the impression that’s he’s never thought about anything important, ever.

I thought his piece in the Rake on Al Milgrom was really weird, and said so at the time. But his “Point Break Live” play at the BLB this year was really hilarious and smart. Somewhere between those two poles there’s an interesting guy.

It just occurred to me that several of the people from MFA are in Portland right now, where Sound Unseen has recently taken root. How this didn't occur to me sooner is funny, since some of you know I live with one of those MFAers. (Hey, gimme a break! I've been outta town most of this week.)

Wow. Well he’s still on the Soap Factory board….

I’ll see what I can do about that. Bwahaha.

I also would like to know what the film team feels about this. As an avid film-goer, I really felt that last years Int’l Film Fest was phenomenal, and I personally don’t see a problem with an Al Milgrom “protege,” so to speak, if it means maintaining the same high and ever-growing quality of selected films and accompanying events. But the entire team seems great. Is there someone that’s replacing Jamie?

I’m really curious to hear what folks have to say about this, especially the film people.
