      If there is any historical figure or person of influence from our past you think would make a difference if he or she were brought back today, who would you most want to see, why, and how would he/she affect the world?

      The people of our time are of huge historical significance. Like most Brits, I wish Churchill was immortal (well he reached 90, so he didn't do bad).

      Gandhi would be a big help. John Kennedy, had he survived would be an elder statesman of the 90s.

      Popular cinema keeps reviving to the same historical or fantasy literature, over and over again. EG. KING ARTHUR, ROBIN HOOD, GREEK MYTHS ("Swords and Sandles") VAMPIRES; Which historical or fantasy fiction have they missed that you would like to see?

      In history there are a few epics that have missed out. The siege of Malta, the battle of Hastings, the entire war of the roses. Pay attention, Mr Ridley Scott and Mr Randall Wallace

      When you go to the movies, what's your favorite snack?

      Formspring question of the day

      I sneak in my own chocolate. Their prices are a rip-off

      Oh, and I forgot to add that it was two hours on YAHOO ANSWERS under the arts and humanities, acting category. So much fail. Name my punishment, please?

      A spanking.

      Why the hell did I just spend two hours answering idiot questions from teenagers who want to become actors? Should I just shoot myself now or later?

      Shoot yourself, but with a camera. Less mess on the carpet that way.

      One of my pet peeves is the combination of "The Blame Game," and people failing to say, "I don't know," when they cannot answer a question seeking to resolve a problem which falls under mutual purview. How do you address this kind of BS effectively?

      Ask direct questions in an approachable manner within a relaxed forum. Keep people calm and dig to the root of the problem

      Is it just me or are the Formspring daily questions really banal?

      I have to agree, I guess they try not to be too challenging

      Have you seen the film, NETWORK, and if so, how prescient do you believe it to be and why? Please compare and contrast the cultural zeitgeist for the story's creators with the current 2011 technological-online-cultural zeitgeist for a pic of my boobies

      What is going on with all these big words? I just skipped to the bit about a pic of your boobies ;) Tell you what, I will look out for the film and get back to you on that.

      Will the next WAR OR THE WORLDS happen on Twitter/Tumblr/Formspring -- essentially via social networks? What kind of story would you use and how would you co-ordinate its production/execution?

      The internet is a theatre of war, recognized internationally, and it will play it's part.

      Is there any one of your twitter friends you would like to meet & who?

      I have met a couple, including you. I would love to hire a marquee and just invite my entire follow list for a huge weekend-long party, That would rock.

      Can you name ONE celebrity style/fashion, genre press, pop culture reporter/editor who has commented coherently on politics? (Note: Individual must still be alive. The Daily Show doesn't count.)

      The Daily Telegraph is pretty good I find.

      Would you rather hang out with a small group of friends or a large group?

      Formspring Question of the Day

      Small group. Any large group is just a mindless mob really

      What mistake did you make in your life do you think you've learned the most from? What was that lesson?

      I once turned down the offer to run a bar on Malia beach. Last time I went back it had a pool, a DJ booth and building a nightclub next door

      Is there a particular song that moves you like none other? If so what is it and why does it affect you so?

      Cavatina AKA the theme from the Dear Hunter. Too beautiful for words
