I can’t believe that you listed “The Sure Thing” as one of your favorite movies. I have to admit that it was one of my favorite movies as a kid, along with “Back to the Future” and “Wierd Science” but it’s been ages since I’ve seen it. Admitidlty John Cusack is a dude, but “Grosse Pointe Blank” has to be his best movie.

Andy, it’s a classic - up there with The Breakfast Club and liek you say, Weird Science. Dunno, it’s just one of those speacial films.

John Cusack is a dude though, you’re right. His fight scene in Grosse Pointe Blank with Benny the Jet has to be one of the best on film.

A picture of Mark BoultonI'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.

I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

If you're after simple, clean and effective web design; let me know.
