Saw K-Pax last night with the Q&A afterwards with Ian Softely, Mark Kermode & Kevin Spacey.
Excellent movie and the questions were, for the most part, dull pretentious arsecrisps from wannabe directors.
"The theamatic approach of the subtexts of the moral center.." and blah blah blah blah, exactly as you would expect from people with nice little goatees and record bags.
I stuck my hand up towards the end,
"I'd like to ask Mr Spacey a question"
"Sure, sure"
"Who would win in a fight between you and Christopher Walken?"
Silence from the audience and a confused look from Softely.
Spacey laughs for about 30 seconds.
"Well...ah...to be honest...wow, good question...I'd kick his ass, without question. I'm younger and faster than he is. Although if it were a dance-off, he'd win...that guy is a mean hoofer. And he uses weapons a lot. He's a dangerous guy, but I think with surprise on my side I'd take him down...yeah, no contest."
Audience is laughing and Mark Kermode looks confused and scratches his head a lot, "Any more questions?"
A few more about the themes and lighting of K-Pax and we file out.
So there you go, direct from Spacey's brain:
He could kick Christopher Walken's face off.

Absolutely.
What I liked about it was that it didn't give you easy explanations for it all.
There was never a point where you thought "Oh well he is an alien".
Or moments where you start to think "Yeah, definitely", something happens to throw you and you're left wondering again.
I won't give spoilers, you need to see this knowing as little as possible about it.
Bloke claims to be an alien, gets locked up in a mental hospital - that's about all you should know.
Excellent way to end it, good acting all round.
And I figured out who one of the actors was.
You know when you're watching something and go "Oh it so-and-so...but then it bugs you because you can't remember?".
The guy that plays the obsessive compulsive watching for the bluebird, he was Jerry Horne in Twin Peaks and the gang leader in The Crow.
Irrelevant but it was bugging me.
K-PAX is a well-acted, intelligent film that doesn't offer pat-answers or submit to cliches.
Even a scene with a guy meeting his long-lost son after years of not speaking to him.
There's no hugging or tear-filled "I love yew dad!" moments.
Thoroughly recommended for what it's worth

Excellent, glad you got to ask the question. Sounds like it lighted up proceedings no end.
So you'd recommend the film then?
