Damn I'm good

About Me

I use Facebook.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Any one who can be bothered reading the text or isn't saying hello because I have a fringe that cuts across my eye (it doesn't, except in the wind).

Music:

Ah, music. I do enjoy my music.

Movies:

I'm not a big fan of Hollywood blockbusters. Ok, they can be good sometimes but I wanted to die during King Kong. I'm just glad that FACT has a license so I can just get quietly drunk in the hope that the twenty miunte long dinasaur chase had point. It didn't did it?
I suppose I liked The Thin Red Line, which is to say that I did. Also the Last Samurai. Hans Zimmer (gladiator, pearl habour etc) composes the score in both and honestly, I think they're worth it for that alone.
I saw a movie called the "The Nature of Nicholas" late last year. Points if you can track it down. Give it a watch and see if you can explain it to me.

Television:

I can be a bit of a genre TV whore. I really enjoy Alias, don't we all wish we could look that good with bright red hair?
24 is getting back on track now, but how many days like this can a man take?
I also watch The Shield, NCIS, Desperate Housewives and Lost, although I'm going off that as I'm not sure I can watch seven years of Doctor Jack being an idiot.
I also watch a lot of "lifestyle improvement" with my partner Adam. It's a dirty dirty habit.

Books:

You should probably read Archangel and Fatherland by Robert Harris. They're both wonderful.
James Clavell's Shogun is excellent too, it took me six months, but it was a damn good read.
