About Me


35 year-old from UK who wishes he was:
    a published author a filmmaker a web designer younger than he is

Overenthusiastic film worshipper with a Sherilyn Fenn fixation. I love movies in general, but love horror movies especially. Love movies by Takashi Miike, David Lynch, Hideo Nakata, Quentin Tarantino, David Cronenberg, Sam Peckinpah, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Jim Jarmusch, Wes Anderson (the list goes on and on).
Old punk at heart, but will listen to a bit more of a diverse range of music these days.
I'm a sucker for hardboiled noir fiction such as anything by Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy, Elmore Leonard and my current fave Dennis Lehane.
I have more videos of music/comedy/tv clips on my site than anyone I know and they are there FOR EVERYONE TO CHECK OUT - LOOK AT THEM ALL!!!. I have a constant overwhelming urge to share music/films/books that I love with everyone, and tend to recommend things to people until they are sick to death of my overenthusiasm for things they aren't interested in. My recommendation is to humour me, listen/watch/read what I recommend and eventually I go away.
I've been married to my wife (Jenn) since Aug 05 and we're still living in happy wedded bliss.
Oh and check out my site:

Movies, writing, attempts at film making (although not done any for a while), web programming, playing guitar badly.

I'd like to meet:

As far as meeting people on MySpace goes, check out what I'm into and if you're into it too the chances are we might get on well.
Just a quick note to anyone who has their page set to Private, if I don't know you and you send me a friend request, drop me a quick mail as well introducing yourself.As far as wish list of people to meet goes:
Sherilyn Fenn, goes without saying.

Boring Stuff

Okay, quick disclaimer at the start of this blog if you're intending to read it - this might bore the arse off some of you.  Blogs about Prague and Germany are not yet written and I will be posti...

Late night cinema...

This'll probably be a short blog as really it's only a recommendation for a bit cinema viewing.  Then again the last blog was only written to get me used to blogging again and was meant to j...

One year later...

It's been over a year since my last blog, when I was whingeing a bit about being 33 (now 34 and don't give a shit).  Didn't realise this until I had a comment recently posted on my last blog...

Well I'm posting this sooner than I thought.  I finally get to a point with my MySpace page that I'm happy with and the site that I'm hosting my images on goes kaplooey.  It no longer has m...

First Blog

Literally my first ever blog.  Never done this before, and I'm still not sure who will want to read this.  The whole thing feels a bit self-indulgent, but I'm sure I'll get used to it as tim...
