I'd like to meet:
The makers of 'When Pets Go Bad 2"
Anyone interesting, anyone who finds me interesting, anyone who I find interesting...you are the ones who fascinate us.
Other than that: Debbie Harry, Shigeru Miyamoto, Sofia Coppola, Daisy Steiner, Larry David and lots more I can't think of right now.
This lot are pretty cool too:
Music:
I can't really pigeonhole myself into one particular genre, as Bruce Lee once said 'It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.'
Contrary to popular belief my forte lies in the electronica genre and to be even geekier here's an alphabetised list (well except for the first one) You may disagree with my interpretations of it but to you I say "So What?"

Movies:
I'm a cinephile extraordinaire which makes it difficult to pick favourites, as a baseline though I'm into films directed by Sofia Coppola, Quentin Tarantino and Lars Von Trier. I muchly enjoy Asian cinema and have a tendency to despise re-makes of what were already marvellous films, FU to lazy people who can't be bothered reading subtitles. Like everyone else I'm also into my fair share of cheesy films but at least I'm not afraid to admit it.
Television:
Abstract Comedy - the likes of Spaced, League of Gentlemen, Big Train, Green Wing and Harry Hill etc. Bizarre Channel 4 documentaries about people with half a face although Channel 5 is catching up with them lately. Sci Fi in the form of well dressed handsome British men (Doctor Who) and teeth baring FBI agents who seemingly always find themselves in trouble (X Files) Not forgetting some rather marvellous American greats - Sex & The City and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Books:
Matlida (Roald Dahl) although in retrospect that isn't the cheeriest of books! I used to really like those Anthony Browne books with the apes when I was a kid too, whatever happened to those!? I've also recently started reading the work of Neil Gaiman, Louise Wener (yes her from the 90s band Sleeper) and Christopher Brookmyre who, I have to say, are all quite ace.
Heroes:
Spiderman...if only he were real.
