Last night, I hosted a Q&A/interview with Viggo Mortensen at Cinema Nova in Melbourne. The whole thing went down a treat; Viggo was charming as hell, remarkably intelligent and at no point did he suspect I was trying to drug and have my way with him.
Stay tuned for more photos!

Paul Verhoeven (right) is on Triple J, as host of the Weekend Breakfast Show. He is a writer and film critic for Yen Magazine, and insists he is a regular columnist for Horse and Hound magazine (unverified). He recently finished a weekly series for The Vine called Curiageous where he answered people's burning questions and drank his own urine. He enjoys ducks.
Luke Ryan (left) is a stand-up comic, writer, and general man-about-town. He is a news blogger and feature writer for The Vine and also writes for the music blog Electrorash and the street mag ThreeThousand. In 2009 he performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in his oh so descriptively titled show 'Luke's Got Cancer'. It was funnier than it sounds.
Both of them spend more of their time then they should perusing the Internet and gaming. The Somewhat Ambitious is essentially the product of this excess.

That’s a fairly impressive chin dimple he’s got going there.

Paul, your being accused of being the next Jeffery Dahmar over at ImDb.com by some crazy Viggo worshiper who can’t the fact you want to thump Viggo’s ass.

Hey Jewel,
Yeah, I just checked that out! Gotta love the way some people just plain get me. If humorless fans want to rustle around in my head, they’ll find nothing but respect and admiration for Mr. M. Might mention it on air, actually.

10 erinys // Mar 31, 2009 at 9:41 am
actually Viggo isn’t attractive at all, Aragorn is!

There ya go, Mazz: when missing the point becomes an art form. There are some deleted threads; pretty sure they’re where fans threatened to kill me.

Paul,
Those deleted entries you mentioned were not death threats. Not sure why they were removed, but a poster took great offense that someone would take your comment and equate it to Jeffery Dahmer, calling out the person who started the thread homophobic. Basically, shit hit the fan.
14 paul // Apr 1, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Yeah, I can see that now. In short: don’t visit IMDB anymore. ‘Least not the forums.

Bunch of old Crones over there anyway who can’t take a joke to save their lives. I don’t know why Knaustin-1 decided to deleted her posts I was marveling in her crazy psychology
bullshit of why she felt you could be a serial killer. Talking to a few others I found out she Viggo personally stalker, maybe this explain her behavior.

Christ, what the hell is that over at Imdb all Viggo Mortensen’s rejects? I don’t think there a sane person on that site. I think one of them said something like “Poor Viggo”, they got that right. Christ thats sad.
There a whole lot of pussy licking going on there , Poor Viggo !
PAUL YOU ROCK!
So drug the bastard and have your way, I’ll even video tape it .
Hey Knaustin-1 who does that make me?
