MTOL Guest: Robert Hornak

ROBERT HORNAK wanted Ray Harryhausen to come to his ninth birthday party. When he didn’t show, he cried. Later, he found out there were more than monster movies in the world. He picked up some real love for Woody Allen, the Coen Brothers, Preston Sturges, and Howard Hawks. He has a deep love for Truffaut, Buñuel, Bergman, and Kurosawa, which helps balance his devotion to the Marx Brothers. His goal in life is to write a single Chayefsky-worthy scene. He will watch an old movie before a new movie every time, and a satire before a drama. Robert also likes tennis, Chipotle, and Merle Haggard. At the same time, when possible.
