Q: I really loved the movie "The Boondock Saints." What else has the director done?
Not much, surprisingly.
The indie action film "The Boondock Saints" barely registered at the box office in 1999, but went on to huge cult success on home video.
But after revisiting it in a less-successful sequel, "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day" in 2009, director-writer Troy Duffy hasn't done much else.

Q: I remember an old Katharine Hepburn movie where she played a librarian or something, but in a corporate office. I remember it being funny, but can't remember the name, and I never see it on television. What was it called?
The film you're thinking of is 1957's "Desk Set," one of many films Hepburn starred in with Spencer Tracy while they carried on a supposedly secret relationship.
Their romance was never official -- Tracy remained married to his wife Louise until his death in 1967, though the two lived separately -- but it's now considered one of the great on-screen-and-off pairings in Hollywood history.
Flipping Out, on Bravo
