More Myspace people so I can build my empire and overthrow the world. I'm pretty sure that's why Rupert Murdoch bought this thing, but I'm gonna beat him to it.Also: Jim James, Stephen King, Josh Homme, Greg Graffin, Chuck Klosterman, Bill Simmons, King Kaufman, John Reis (more official-like this time). Is this space supposed to be filled with people I might actually meet? Oops

You get all that? Plus the soundtracks to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Blues Brothers, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch. And, of course, PILE
I'll exhibit some restraint this time: Big Trouble in Little China, The Princess Bride, Clue, The Bad City Battle, The Usual Suspects, Silverado, The Magnificent Seven, The Game, all the Indiana Jones films, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the first three Star Wars, and to a lesser degree the most recent one, Igby Goes Down, Batman Begins, Tremors, Stalag 17, The Thing (1982, with Kurt Russell), and The Blues Brothers. Damn right
Deadwood, Deadwood, a million times I tell you, Deadwood!!!!! Best show ever. House and 24 are pretty damn good too. Also: Weeds, The Wire, The Sopranos and I'll admit it, Sex and the City. Basically, HBO is above reproach. Except Big Love, that show lags. Adult Swim is half fantastic, half bullshit. But SeaLab, Aqua Teen, Space Ghost, Harvey Birdman, Robot Chicken and The Venture Bros. are all genius. And no, I don't smoke pot
Pretty much anything by Stephen King; Nick Hornby, especially High Fidelity and About a Boy; all four of Chuck Klosterman's books; Jurassic Park and Sphere by Michael Crichton; The Quiet American by Graham Greene; Ghost Story by Peter Straub...I'd like to pretend that, being an English major, I'd read a bunch of classics and loved them, but typically I hate those books. Dickens, Austen, et al., bore me. But calm down all you Holden Caulfield fans out there, I have never read his particular tale, so I have no opinion on him. And I've just succumbed to the power of Harry Potter...believe the hype, kiddies; believe the hype.
The heroes I don't know are all listed in my 'People I'd Like to Meet' section. The heroes I do know, aside from family members, will not be embarassed/pleased to see their names listed here, but if they think about it, they know who they are
