So last week I said I’d be getting away from puppets with this week’s column. Well, that’s what I’m kind of doing. Kind of.

Peter Jackson is pretty much a household name these days with the success of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, a series of films that will inarguably became a major part of cinematic history in time to come. It’s kind of funny; this short, hairy, dumpy, quirky little man has achieved what so few directors in





Hollywood have – he’s ascended to the rank of ‘celebrity director’. The celebrity director is one of those few people behind the camera who are just as recognizable as those in front of it. It’s a lofty position, and one that many filmmakers aspire to, but very few manage to achieve. This strange little guy from New Zealand, however, has managed it, and what’s more, he actually deserves it.

You’ve no doubt heard that Jackson is following up the success of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ with a big-budget remake of ‘King Kong’. You may have even heard how his next project after that will be an adaptation of the novel ‘The Lovely Bones’. If you’ve heard both those things…well, stuff you. Nobody likes a smart arse, and thanks ever so much for taking the wind out of my sails. And if you’re such a smarty pants, lemme ask you this; have you ever seen ‘Bad Taste’?
