DIARY: On the spot - Mario Van Der Meulen Regional creative director, Tribal DDB

<p>What's the best part of your job? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>No job/project is the same, you start all over again each time. There's </p><p>never a dull moment. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>And the worst? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The regular smell of burning midnight oil. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Your all-time favourite film and why? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Long list ... Fight Club by David Fincher. Captivating and </p><p>beautifully-shot. Thought-provoking ideas and surprisingly humorous </p><p>moments. It leaves you with a sense of healthy discomfort and a desire </p><p>to see it again. I'd also recommend Memento by Christopher Nolan. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Favourite book or CD? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Book: Soak wash rinse spin by Steven Tolleson. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Favourite CD: Anything by Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Elvis Costello or </p><p>Talking Heads/David Byrne </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Favourite restaurant and dish? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Any place with sushi, and lots of it. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Do you have a favourite gadget? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Big, nasty-looking Cartman desk-doll (Southpark character). </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Favourite fashion designer? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Issey Miyake, Walter van Beirendonck </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>What are your hobbies? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Mountaineering, photography, basketball. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Where did you go on vacation? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Hiking in Guizho province, Southwest China. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Who would you want to play you in a movie? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>John Malkovich or Steve Buscemi (or Denzel Washington if he's up for the </p><p>challenge of playing a white guy). </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>How would you title your movie? </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The Visual Suspect perhaps ... </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Please finish this line, I wish I could ... be like Mike! </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
