Pen pals is a column where our friends in the media write us a letter and fill in some blanks. Today’s pen pal is Matt Hoffman, he writes about film and conducts interviews for Scene Creek and Film School Rejects. He enjoys French cinema as well as the films of Meryl Streep, Isabelle Huppert, and Jacki Weaver.
Dear Clutch,
In the beginning I wanted love. But then I found it with Character Actress Margo Martindale. If I had to
choose between My Big Fat Greek Wedding and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, I’d choose My Big Fat
Greek Wedding.
My favourite thing about my job is the excuse to eat popcorn. But sometimes it can get a little buttery. My
best work habit is sitting through long French films. When I need to cool down I watch The Bachelor.
Print is ending. Social media is great to make jokes no one likes.
At night I dream about the perfect slice of pie. Right now I’m loving the films of Andrzej Żuławski. I’m
currently binge-watching Stranger Things.
My favourite sleeping position position is on my side. Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a
Marriage Counsellor is my guilty pleasure.
My biggest accomplishment is being snubbed by Isabelle Huppert three times. PR professionals make
me smile. I wish they would invite me to their parties.
My email pet-peeves are a lack of smiley faces. The best advice I ever received is to take naps. In the
future there will be NO MORE SUPERHERO MOVIES.
Before I go, I want you to know I love you.
Take care, brush your hair,
Matt
