Anyone with the same interests. Anyone with a wicked sense of humour. Anyone who loves Michael Mann, Neil LaBute, and Stephin Merritt. "Someone with whom to dance"

Anything from Michael Mann, Michael Winterbottom, Paul Greengrass, Jonathan Glazer, Baz Luhrmann, Fernando Meirelles, David Lynch, Alfonso Curon, David Mamet, and Neil LaBute (the latter two being more for the stories, they never aspired to be great directors and it shows). I also love Miami Vice, Streets of Fire, High Fidelity, Serenity, Love & Death, Moulin Rouge, 24 Hour Party People, Heat, The Insider, Birth, Sexy Beast, City of God, State and Main, The Shape of Things, and many others.
THE WIRE (greatest show i've ever seen), CRIME STORY season 1, Black Books, Spaced, How I Met Your Mother, DEADWOOD, Life on Mars, Rescue Me, anything from Joss Whedon, Newsradio, Simpsons, Arrested Development, Faerie Tale Theatre, Extras.
London Fields, High Fidelity, A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Watch Your Mouth, Seconds of Pleasure, Other People, Night Games, Naked, Oleanna (play), Bash (play), And The Ass Saw The Angel. Pretty much anything from Martin Amis, Nick Hornby, David Mamet, and Neil LaBute. Going by the titles my books sound really dirty.
