Your Brain's Pattern
Your mind is a firestorm - full of intensity and drama.
Your thoughts may seem scattered to you most of the time...
But they often seem strong and passionate to those around you.
You are a natural influencer. The thoughts you share are very powerful and persuading.
Your Fortune Is
Passionate kiss like spider web, soon lead to undoing of fly.

Movies:

I am partial to mafia movies...SCARFACE is my ultimate favourite, closely followed by GOODFELLAS, THE GODFATHER SERIES, CASINO, DONNIE BRASCO, etc...
I also thoroughly enjoy John Waters' flicks, like HAIRSPRAY, FEMALE TROUBLE, PINK FLAMINGOS, DESPERATE LIVING, CRYBABY, POLYESTER, A DIRTY SHAME, and the likes...
I'm nostalgic for many of the cheesy films of the 80s, including PUMP UP THE VOLUME, ROCK & ROLL HIGHSCHOOL, 16 CANDLES, WEIRD SCIENCE, ANIMAL HOUSE, et al...
I loved FINDING NEMO, MADAGASCAR, SLEEPING BEAUTY, ALADDIN, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, THE ARISTOCATS, and most of Disney in general...
For a good laugh, you really can't beat a good 'ole Mel Brookes production, like HISTORY OF THE WORLD PT. 1, SPACEBALLS, etc...
I don't think anyone can argue with me when I say that Eddie Murphy's stand-up is fucking brilliant...DELERIOUS, RAW
And I must admit that I'm a sucker for Johnny Depp, so I feel I must add movies like NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET PT. 1, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, BENNY & JOON, PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN, CHOCOLAT, FINDING NEVERLAND, FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS...
I love Al Pacino in THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, SCENT OF A WOMAN...
Other movies that I dig include THE LABYRINTH, HARRY POTTER, LORD OF THE RINGS, JUICE, BOYZ IN DA HOOD, 8 MILE, BLOW, SPUN, DANCEHALL QUEEN, PARIS IS BURNING, the original CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, MARS ATTACKS, EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY, B.A.P.S, KIDS, CARRIE, THE HUNGER, THE GOONIES, THE LOST BOYS, THE SHINING, DELICATESSEN, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, PULP FICTION, RESERVOIR DOGS, BONNIE & CLYDE, THELMA & LOUISE, SAW...
