About Me

The short and sweet of all that is Beals:

1. He likes bananas, but banana pancakes will always earn you a spot at his table.
2. Fight Club isn't a movie, it's a way of reimagining the people around you.
3. If you were to ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he'd respond, "why plan so far ahead?"
4. Fast cars are the only way to travel.
5. He's already directed the movie of his life in his head and it costars you. No not you. There, behind you. Yeah, them.
6. Grape jelly is devine.
7. Where did all the cool cartoons go?
8. If Jesus were resurrected today, he'd probably look more like Homer Simpson. But then, would anyone believe he was Jesus? Quandary.
9. Read Watchmen. Nothing else matters.
9a. Snow is bad.
10. He may not one day rule the world, but more importantly, neither shall you. So let's all eat banana pancakes together.

I was on tv once too. Check it.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Myself 10 years from now and Me 20 years ago.

And that crazy old coot Gandalf.

Music:

I dig a lot of music, but my musical buddha will always be Mike Patton. His voice is insane and malleable to anything he needs it to be. Amazing. Don't believe me? Check this out.

Movies:

"I think that the best plot is no apparent plot. I like a slow start, the start that gets under the audiences skin and involves them so that they can appreciate grace notes and soft tones and don't have to be pounded over the head with plot points and suspense hooks." - Stanley Kubrick.

"Movies are about bringing us places, and I'm always sad when the filmmakers can only seem to bring us to facsimiles of places. There's a rush to be gotten from seeing characters in the real environments, a sense not quite of realism but of actuality. If you're spending this much money on a movie, show me cool stuff, not CGI versions of cool stuff."

Television:

Books:

Heroes:

Anthony Hopkins in THE EDGE.

"What one man can do, another can do."

Steven Baldwin in THE USUAL SUSPECTS

"There's nothing that can't be done."

and

Brad Pitt in FIGHT CLUB

"You decide your own level of involvement!"

My Blog

Speed Racer brings about brotherly love!

Well, I found this year's GRINDHOUSE. (Though I'm decidedly less angry than I was then. Losing a little hope in people's viewing habits will do that to you... ;) ) With no real expectations, I caught...

The Great Wide Open

I love Tom Petty's music. It calms me and opens my mind to new possibilities. I don't listen to it often, aside from the occasional blip on my ipod, but when I do it's transitory. Tonight was our Offi...

Go buy a Comic Book.

You should. Some of the best stories I've ever read were told in graphic novel form. Luckily for you, if you haven't checked out a comic since you were a wee one, next week has something special for...

Movies that ROCKED my socks in 2007!!

I'm not big on "Best Of" lists. Whenever someone says something was the best, someone else will say it wasn't. It's all subjective. And besides, truthfully, you show me the best of anything and I'll b...
