   11 June 2007 - Eli Roth, El-P   
   14 Jun 07 00:25:26   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Eli Roth:   
   	- He's also going to a function Conan's not invited to.  Roth   
   thinks of himself as a cross of Seth Green and Sylar from Heroes.  Conan   
   is glad people are dressing up, and I agree, thank you.  Roth hopes to   
   brighten the image of directors.   
   	   
   	- Roth's from Newton, Massachusetts; he thinks getting beat up   
   after school, the sport of Massachusetts, is the source.  Anyone with   
   fame, like the New Kids On the Block, people talk about how they punched   
   the New Kids on the fame.  They want to beat up anyone who achieves any   
   level of fame.   
   	   
   	- Brookline is where he first saw Alien, where the threw up, and   
   decided he wanted to become a director.  Conan sat in that.   
   	   
   	- He loves Iceland; there's 350,000 people, and it was founded   
   by Vikings who abducted the most beautiful women in England.  Roth's the   
   Fonzie of Iceland.  Don't mess with Finland, as that's in Conan's   
   pocket.   
   	   
   	- Iceland's all powered by lava, it's full of beautiful women.   
   If you turn the shower up too much you're burned by lava.  He got one   
   movie idea from that as he accidentally shaved half his face off.   
   	   
   	- Quentin Tarantino was turned onto Iceland by Roth.  He could   
   be the Frank Sinatra of Iceland.  Tarantino's the kind of person where   
   if you mention the right movie he starts quivering.  'Pretty Maids All   
   In A Row'?  That's the best movie!  'Bloodsucking Freaks'?  I love that   
   film!  Is he also like that about Red Lobster?  Yes, for certain dishes.   
      
   	   
   	- He still feels like he's owed money back for Ocean's 12.  And   
   thinks his movie is a better date movie than Ocean's 13 with George   
   Clooney and Brad Pitt.  Hostel Part II lowers the bar to ``You haven't   
   tried to kill me.''   
      
      
   EL-P:   
   	- From ``I'll Sleep When You're Dead'':  I *think* it's The   
   Overly Dramatic Truth, but to be honest the song's not my sort of   
   thing.
