Kimani (@dwanzi_) is a movie lover, watcher and reviewer. Sometimes he writes and blogs. Is a student of life and people. Loves to laugh. Doesn’t like to describe self.
We had a few questions for him and this is what he had to say.
1. What was your first phone?
It was a Motorola C333, I bought it at the same price as my current IDEOS.
2. What do you prefer? Facebook or Twitter? Why?
Facebook. I’m really into old stuff and relics and going through my facebook stream is like visiting a museum.
Seriously though it’s twitter. For the very simple reason that I have met so many cool, interesting and funny people through it.
3. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Due to the oncoming zombie apocalypse, I’ll probably be roaming the derelict wastelands of the city once called Nairobi with my trusted dog Jimmy and my crossbow.
4. Any question for us? We’ll publish our answer as well
What is the dumbest question someone has asked here? Is it this one?
Ermmm, We’d rather not say 🙂
5. What would you do if you were president for a day?
What can you do in a day? First of all I’d declare 3 day weekends. Then I’d make it mandatory that every person who runs for public office be able to spell C.O.M.P.E.T.E.N.C.E. I think half of the sitting MPs wouldn’t be there if this law was in place.
At some point during the day I would definitely walk up to a beautiful lady and offer to show her my “motorcade”
6. Whats your favourite book and movie?
Favourite book: Confession, I’m a poor reader, but when I do sit down with a book it’s most likely a classic. I’m going to cheat and say my favourite book is “The Complete works of Shakespeare.”
Favourite film: Very hard question, I like many films, all different genres and for different reasons. I can’t, for instance, compare a film like Amelie to one like Akira, both of which I love but for different reasons. That said, when people ask me this question I usually answer with 2001: A Space Odyssey.
7. Who/What inspired you to do what you do now?
I’d say a love for words. What these squiggly markings can accomplish and the emotions they can excite inside you just because someone picked exactly the right ones and arrange them in a certain order. This is fascinating to me.
8. If you were to change jobs, what profession would you get into? Why?
Easy, writer/director of movies. Because I’m fascinated by film and the whole process of creating one from idea to screen.
9.If you had a superpower, what would you like it be?
The ability to cut to the front of any queue, I could rule the world.
10. If you were deserted on an abandoned island what 5 things would youwant to have?
Shouldn’t it be “abandoned on a deserted island”? anyway…
- A Pen
- A Writing Pad
- Hammock
- Camera
- Michael Bay – to make sure he never makes another movie ever again.
11. If you were a car, what car would you like to be? Why?
I’d like to be a classic car like the original VW Beetle.
12. If you could be in any band in the world, which one would you like to be in? Why?
The Beatles/The White Stripes. Both great bands driven by creativity and managed to create their own unique, wonderful sound.
13. Share something interesting about yourself with our readers.
I once watched around 100 movies in a single month.
