.. Born in Brooklyn, I am are the Lion King. There's a tendency to be promiscuous. I'll probably die of a drug overdose or be abducted by aliens. I'm also the good time king, planted firmly on the throne of ingenuity, with a pint of Staropramen in one hand and some Eastern block wenches' arse in another.
I'd like to meet:
Cobra Commander, Darth Vader (the early years), Evil Spy, and that Frog dude that was always after Courageous Cat.
Music:
Soundtracks: Ghost Dog, Blow, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas , plus Zimmer, Elfman, et al. Ipod carries: Damian Marley, Hendrix, Floyd, Prince, Rage, Doors, Stones, Metallica, Maiden, Good Ska and a whole bunch'a shit I can't even explain.
Basically, if it sounds good and doesn't kill the cat I'm all for it.
Movies:
Akira, Blade Runner, LOTR (uno, dos, tres), Pan's Labrynth, Batman Begins, Boondock Saints, Fight Club, the Salton Sea, The Thing, Evil Dead I & II, Night of the Living Dead, The Exorcist, Alien (s),Stalag 17, (the original) Manchurian Candidate, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, (you still readin?) Breakfast Club, practically everything John Woo, King of New York, Man on Fire, The Crow, Highlander I, Matrix, Equilibrium, Conan, The Reanimator, and a whole bunch of yabba dabba doo.
Give me a thumpin' soundtrack, crazy action, or tons of saucy stews. It all looks the same stoned.
Television:
24, Boondocks, Robot Chicken, House, Thief, The Shield, ATHF, Military Channel. Football (Giants), Hockey (Rangers). Geez, you'd think I'd have more of a life.
Books:
Kid at heart. I love DC comics and am a closet Trekkie. I've gobbled up nearly everything Lovecraft, Bradbury, Clancy, Matheson, Harris, Follet. If its got a good pace and you suggest it, i'll probably read it.
Heroes:
I admire my mother's courage, my grandfather's spirit, and my grandmother's wisdom.
