"He talked a bit more about Bowling Green and he credited much of the 'evil' in his films as being directly related to his time here. Specifically he mentioned an evening in Russellville involving a girlfriend and a stepfather that had particularly stuck with him, but he didn't give any details."
"Carpenter admitted that while THE THING was his favorite film of his own, HALLOWEEN remained his best experience. He credited the youth of almost everyone involved and the excitement of working with Donald Pleasance."
"When asked about the easiest to work with Kurt Russell's name immediately came up. James Woods name was mentioned when Carpenter was asked about the most difficult but John quickly added that Woods is a brilliant actor, and it seemed clear that there wasn't any real animosity."
"Several questions came up concerning Carpenter's peers including one asking whether he had ever felt any competition, specifically with Wes Craven. He replied no and said that he still kept in touch with Craven who had told recently told him to 'stay away' from the Weinstein group. This led into a talk on Crapenter's distaste for the 'corporate Hollywood' system and how the director as author idea was getting more and more lost."
"Carpenter through all of it was extremely laid back and low key and talked about how much he loved to 'fuck off' and 'smoke a joint' in preparing for a film" in which he described the long and grueling hours of directing as being like a 'coal miner'.
'A question about current directors had him saying that he loved Paul Thomas Anderson, admired Scorsese but grudgingly said that everyone regarded Spielberg as still the 'most powerful'."
"The inevitable topic of remakes came up and Carpenter made it clear that his only involvement in them was getting a check. I found his attitude on the matter to be refreshingly honest."
"I did get a couple of questions in. I asked about the status of ELVIS and he said it was his understanding that they were 'working on it' but he admitted he had turned down an audio commentary due to it's length. I told him how much I loved STARMAN and he really perked up at its mention saying how much he also loved the film and the cast, especially Jeff Bridges."
"Upon my mentioning of Dario Argento a couple of audience members actually smirked but Carpenter quickly cut them off by saying, "I love Dario, I love and admire his films. He's not afraid to hit it hard." I must say that they didn't smirk after that and I felt a rush of vindication. It was great to hear Carpenter say that about Argento, whose early giallos and DEEP RED did so much to influence HALLOWEEN."
