So apparently we've got the next Steven Spielberg in the studio...Oh, I'm sorry, he says the next Steven Soderbergh. Anyway, after having AJ in before, Charlie demanded an interview to set some things straight. Or...not.
See how he goes with AJ in Specialness by Trivstar
What’s your real, given name?
Charlie Blackford
What do you like to be called and why?
Charlie, Char, anything AJ wants to call me
How old are you?
I’m 19 years young.
How old do you act?
As young as I can because, to quote No Country for Old Men (great movie, go see it), “Age will flatten a man.”
Birthday and Zodiac Sign
December 28th 1992. I have no idea what zodiac sign I am but I know that’s a great movie. One of AJ’s favourites.
Does your Zodiac Sign describe you very well?
I’m still trying to figure out which one I am...
Describe your personality in five words
Fargo, Schindler’s List, the good Star Wars, American Psycho and everything Stanley Kubrick has ever touched. Oh...you said words?
What is your ultimate goal at the moment?
To win back AJ. To win Tropfest.
What’s stopping you from getting it?
I totally screwed up. She won’t talk to me. The judging panel is rigged. 2nd place three times?
Are you single or taken or something else?
Something else.
Are you in love with anyone at the moment (not necessarily the person just mentioned)
“Love is too weak a word for what I feel”—Annie Hall (that’s another must see. You should be writing this down.)
How do you fall in love: instantly, over time or some other way?
Who falls in love instantly? Unless it’s a movie, I don’t understand. You don’t fall in love with skin and bits of cells and hazel colouring and brown colouring and...I don’t know, I’m not the science guy.
Describe your ideal guy/girl.
AJ.
Who is your closest friend? What are they like?
Andy is my best mate. He’s a good guy; funny, laid back, has decent taste in movies. Although, he is into that Adam Sandler crap so he’s got flaws. He got me into trouble a lot at school but what can you expect from a Fincher? He's a good guy even if he is a bit weird and even if his sister is causing me a whole shit load of pain.
Who is your worst enemy? Why?
I’m not some Tarantino character: I don’t have enemies. Maybe left wing media, that’d be about it.
Are you a mommy or daddy’s boy/girl? Why?
Mom. Dad was always on me about playing sports and holing up in my room.
What was/is your childhood like?
Like everyone elses. I spent most of the time waiting for uni.
What do you look like (in short)?
You see yourself everyday in the mirror and then when someone asks this you start sweating it out and you can’t remember what eye colour you have. Well, it took me a while, but I remembered that I have brown eyes, brown hair and I’m tall and big enough for people to not bother picking me out for a fight. Now, if you want to know my favourite movies...
What is your best feature? (Physical)
If my ability to quote things doesn’t count, then probably my height.
What is your worst feature? (Physical)
I need glasses (although, since the big nerd glasses come into style I’ve managed to be less of a geek).
If you could change one thing about yourself, personality or physical, what would it be?
To be less demanding. Or maybe to just look like Ryan Gosling or something. That would make life easier.
What is your strongest sense? (Hearing, seeing, tasting etc). How do you use this to your advantage?
My sixth sense—my directing sense.
What are you the best at?
Quoting movies. Did AJ say that too? Don’t listen to her. Oh and directing movies, making storyboards, writing scripts...
What are you usually noticed for?
When people need to find out who just made that awesome movie. Come on, I’m allowed to say that! I came second in the whole country!
What do you usually get in trouble for (if at all)?
Whatever Andy just did.
Describe where you’re living right now.
An apartment in the inner city with a few mates from high school. I don’t think we’ve taken out the trash since we started living here. It’s kind of gross. It’s a nice apartment though, pretty modern, right next to the casino, my parents really splashed out.
Describe your life right now.
Desperate and Depressing. Pretty average. University based.
If you could be any animal what would you be?
A fly that lived forever so I could go and watch the best directors in the world, watch movies, go to the academy awards and watch Scarlett Johansson undress.
