INTERVIEW:
John Flansburgh of THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS

page 3 of 5

John Flansburgh and John Linnell may or may not be giants

kp: On a less serious note...what do you think is the best evil robot/evil computer movie?
JF:
2001 is the only evil computer movie I can even think of. Harrison Ford on talk shows seems like kind of an evil robot...

You know, I don't see a lot of that sci-fi stuff, or mainstream movies at all. Just to give you a glimpse into how sideways my cultural intake is, here is just a taste. I have not seen the following movies:

Jaws
Star Wars
The Matrix
Pulp Fiction
Blair Witch Project
Silence of the Lambs
On Golden Pond
Back to the Future
Scream
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Die Hard
Spider Man
The Lion King
Lord of the Rings
Home Alone
Saving Private Ryan
Austin Powers
Top Gun
Rain Main
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Pretty Woman
Jerry McGuire
Rambo

I don't think I have ever seen a movie with Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis except fragments on broadcast TV. I have, however, purchased almost every ZZ Top album since Eliminator. I have no explanation or excuse for this random behavior.

kp: That's actually really awesome. What is the last movie you saw?
JF:
I saw "The Kid Stays in the Picture" in the theater.
