The Resume

    (October 23, 1936- )
    Wrote 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' (1976)
    Co-wrote 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (1981)

Why he might be annoying:

    He moved from Chicago to San Francisco.
    He looks like Kris Kristofferson.
    He sounds like Ted Levine.
    He takes years between movies.
    His films tend to be commercial flops.
    'Henry & June' had sexual content which resulted in the MPAA creating the NC-17 rating.

Why he might not be annoying:

    'The Right Stuff' sparked a highly imitated film sequence: a group of people in a distance, stoically walking forward in slow-motion (i.e. 'Con Air,' 'Reservoir Dogs,' 'Armageddon').
    He was an English teacher.
    He graduated from the University of Chicago.
    He has a good sense of humor.
    He is a talented screenwriter: 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' and 'Henry & June' which were considered un-adaptable,
    'The Right Stuff' is hailed by many critics and audiences as one of the best films of the 1980's.
