Like films of most genres, particularly comedy and tragic-romance but cannot be arsed to name them all. You will probably know from my music taste and pithy lines that they are going to excellent films. Thought provoking reflections of our little time and place as we hurtle though the history of humanity. And Rocky 4.
Rupert Murdoch is a great man, and would be a great leader of the world, although he is not and it would be libellous to suggest he is. He has been like a father to me, even more so than my own father. When at an early age I became dissatisfied and disillusioned with a world that lacked the gloss of Technicolor, appalled at the abhorrent acts of violence committed by mankind, emotionally prostrate by the years of psychologically honed advertising and socially dislocated for having not met the standards set by marketing execs, I found I always had Friends to tune into, and if I hadn’t I would have probably self-harmed, and rightly so.
