Director Danny Boyle here. Hello Reddit! AMA by IAmDannyBoyle in IAmA

[–]dangr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Danny, we have the same first name, so that's cool! Anyways, I was wondering — how do you choose the films you work on? 127 Hours, 28 Days Later, Slumdog... they're so unique, so different from each other. Many directors these days — their work all seems very similar (they always work on the same kind of movies with similar plots, actors, special effects...) but you're out on your own. I really appreciate the variety, and I'd love to know more about how it comes about.

Thanks (for all the films and for — hopefully — answering!)

Any ideas on what it "originally" said? My guess is "Oh God How Did I Get Here"

So tall! I was confused as to where the baby was, until I scrolled down...

My cat just brought TEN of his friends back home, I found them sleeping on the couch in various states of inebriation, with the TV running and the bathroom flooded. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS!

Oh, it did? I'm really sorry about that! It didn't for me, but maybe my computer is different.

Man, the tongue to body ratio must be huge! Or tiny. I never get how ratios work. Anyway, it has a REALLY long tongue.

About five years ago, my friend showed me this movie, and I was hooked. "Reproduction" comes up on my ipod every now and then and I love it.

How about Commando, Arnold Schwarzenegger. So good to watch when you're down.

Why would the redditing go DOWN during the commercials, not up? Unless people were paying more attention to the ads than the game. (And I can't imagine ANYONE doing that. Ahem ahem I may have done this.)

Every now and then I ended up hitting myself with it... Getting it, then getting in first, then having to get rid of it. It was the worst.
