filmmaking, writing, people, drinking, music, dancing, acting, NFL football, fooding, kung-fu, playing softball and football, reading, being pragmatic.
Spending my downtime at work perfecting my MySpace page until it shines like salvation.
I'd like to meet:
Wealthy producers, lost friends and a supermodel bio-engineer who makes films in her sparetime and has impenetrable integrity(if you're reading this, please contact me. I have a plan to make the world better vis-a-vis a genetically engineered army of beautiful filmmakers. That, and, well...I want to fall in love with you.)Seriously though? You look like you were built for me, you talk like you want to steal my drink, you kiss like you already came, and that's an atmosphere line for those who know the name.
Music:
Sacrificing Virgins, The Rolling Stones, Tupac, Atmosphere, Modest Mouse, Solomon Burke, Wilco, Flaming Lips, Prince, Blackstar, G'N'R, Gomez, The Figgs, Sly and the Family Stone, 80's love songs, Nelly, Bright Eyes and anything that makes me want to dance.
Movies:
Vernon Florida (all Errol Morris), Rushmore (all Wes Anderson), A Boy and His Dog, Clockwork Orange (most Kubrick), Willow, City of Lost Children (all Jeunet), The Celebration, Eternal Sunshine, Pootie-Tang, Punch Drunk Love, Princess Bride, Showgirls, Citizen Kane, Old School, Casablanca, Last of the Mohicans, Lost Highway (most Lynch), Rashoman, Say Anything, Leaving Las Vegas; any 80's movie that involves an unpopular/misunderstood (but charismatic) teenage boy who overcomes the odds to win a basketball championship, bring dancing to a small mid-west town, find pirate treasure, help break his dad out of a maximum security prison with a tank (does movie-making get any better?), or win the hot girl only to realize that his frumpy best friend is the one he's loved all along. And Salo; or the 100 days of Sodom.
Television:
Most television is awful and I can't give it the time, but I love Twin Peaks, Battlestar Gallactica, Firefly, Deadwood, Angel, 4400 and Friday Night Lights. And Extreme Makeover: Home Edition makes me cry. I'm serious. I can't even watch it anymore.
Books:
The Denial of Death, Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Fountainhead, For Esme-With Love and Squalor (all of Nine Stories, really), Franny and Zooey, Steppenwolf, The Uncanny X-Men, The Vampire Lestat, The Stand, Ender's Game, The Future Lasts Forever
Heroes:
People who live and love and aren't afraid how it looks in the process.
