Who knew?

(I just saw this on DVD and quite enjoyed it, though it took me a while
to figure out why the assassin's name sounded so familiar.)


It was amusing that they chose my name for the villain's in that
movie. I have already taken a certain amount of kidding about it.
But it was a mistake--I think the movie was a flop.

More generally, I have noticed that the villains in British crime
novels, plays, etc. tend to be named Julian. For example there was
an Alan Ayckbourn play, "Communicating Doors" that featured a
truly menacing villain of that name. My guess is that this harks
back to the Roman emperor Julian ("the Apostate") who tried to
uproot Christianity.
