J Dizzle

I'd like to meet:

Scarlett Johansson - but that ain't gonna happen any time soon is it now.

Father Christmas is also someone I'd like to meet - whilst being a nice guy and all I feel he owes me a few answers to some questions that for the moment will remain private until someone asks me or I see fit to divulge that information - and don't sit too comfortably Mr Easter Bunny and little Miss Tooth Fairy - you guys are next in line

I also want to meet Professor Weeto, not some bloke who is wearing one of those cartoony massive heads like you see at the disney world, but the real Prof. Let's make it happen!

Music:

Yeah I love this - I used to think that I could have a favourite song - but I now realise that this isn't possible as my taste changes and evolves with my every mood swing.

However that said my music that I couldn't live without is

Oh and I have just started listening to the Bullet In A Bible live Green Day album and am partucularly liking the live versions of Jesus of Suburbia and Minority. Ed Yes I do like Gogol Bordello's Start Wearing Purple and no I won't wear anything purple for you at all.

I just saw a reference to the Seahorses on someone elses profile and have forgotten how great their one album was

There is a Norwegian bloke called Morten Abel and his stuff is very good - especially Gravedigging and The Birmingham Ho (sooooo funny)

Phoenix are a good band and their album Alphabetical is worth a look and even a listen as well.

I used to have a mild Terrorvision obsession which has since died off, they were never musical geniuseseses but they were good fun to listen to (until that bloody dance version of Tequila came out and ruined everything). How To Make Friends And Influence People is a great album and one I could listen to over and over - and Regular Urban Survivors is good too.

The Wildhearts were another early obsession and my 2 favourites from them are Earth Vs The WiLDHEARTS and PHUQ. Fishing for Luckies (the original version) was awesome as well - and in it's own special distorted way Endless Nameless could have been very good as well, it just wasn't though - too much distortion boys!

Come Clean by Puddle of Mudd is an album I own that I haven't really listened too past She Hates Me, Control and Blurry - I will work on that I promise.

For my sins I actually like Killamangiro and F**k Forver by Babyshambles - and I think the song he (Pete Doherty) did with Wolfman - For Lovers is incredible I just happen to loath him!

I think some of the Libertines stuff is very cool, although the Doherty connection does put me off somewhat.

Razorlight impressed me with Up All Night, although I think the best song on there never got released as a single - "Fall Fall Fall" - have a word with yourselves!

Blink 182 always seem to make good stuff and although I think Enema of the State is my favourite album of theirs, I think "I Miss You" is such a change from what they normally did I was very impressed.

Good Charlotte are a band that I wasn't overly worried about until I saw them live at V last year - then they won me over with a great performance.

Right now there are 2 songs that I really really can't listen to enough - Never Went To Church by The Streets, Mike Skinner can really grate on me at times but I think this is a very simple and very brilliant song - if definitely strikes a chord with me. Also Hopipolla by Sigur Ros, I can't understand a bloody word as it is all in foreign but it's just a beautiful piece of music - I am now seriously considering buying their album Takk (thankyou - see all that time spent in Scandinavia didn't go to waste).

I am going through a really chilled out phase at the moment - have just bought the new Jack Johnson album and all of his back catalogue as well - Brushfire Fairytales is an incredible album - probably not as good as In Between Dreams, but I have played that to death and it needs a break now. I have also branched out in to more Sigur Ros - they might make no sense whatsoever but that's the cool thing - just listen to the pretty noises and chill out!

Oh yes how could I possibly forget my goth/metal tastes, I have pretty much every album by Marilyn Manson. I'll be honest this doesn't make me some kind of freaky devil worship dude, (it really doesn't ask anyone). He just makes very very good music, and also is quite entertaining - read he autobiography "The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell" and I challenge you not to really quite like him afterwards. Particular favourites are "The Speed of Pain" from Mechanical Animals, The Reflecting God from Antichrist Superstar and This Is The New Shit which is either Holywood or the Golden Age of Grotesque I can't remember right now.
Linkin Park are also very good - especially the Hybrid Theory album - Meteora was ok, but I preferred the earlier ones. Crawling and Papercut especially. The Numb/Encore mix with Jay-Z was interesting and whilst no way better than the original it was cool to listen to.

Haven't added to this music list in ages - this is cos mainly I have been listening to old stuff and revelling in all it's glory. The only new stuff that has been gracing my ears has been by The Tommys - check my friends list and the lovely noise that should be playing along whilst you are reading this, they are proper good.

Movies:

Same as music really - this list is ever evolving.

Ones that I could watch over and over are

Armageddon, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, We Were Soldiers, Zulu (don't you throw those bloody spears etc etc), anything at all by Tarantino, and pretty much anything with Julia Stiles, Jesscia Alba or Scarlett Johansson in it although sometimes I might have to turn the sound down in these ones.

My favourite funny movies are Anchorman (LOUD NOISES!), THe 40 Year Old Virgin, Old School & Van Wilder - I watched Zoolander once and I kind of wanted to hurt myself it was so bad. Either that or I had a really bad hangover. Dodgeball should have been funnier than it was, but it wasn't and the Wedding Crashers is as funny as it should have been - although it could have been less slushy than it turned out. If you want a good laugh at a movie you have probably never heard of then look out for Joe Dirt - it's actually very funny and features a prominent display of redneck mullet.

oh and watch Layer as well - it's great, and there is a vicious beating of a dirty man with use of a tea pot. Oh and if it floats your boat then it also contains a chavvy version of Sienna Miller in her grits.

I forgot to mention that I think Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet is quite simply an incredible film, everything about it from the modern interpretation of the play with the old school Shakepeare script, to the music, to the performances and even the casting. Normally I find Leonardo DiCaprio repellent to say the least, but given that I always thought Romeo was a bit of a self obsessed spineless knob I think that casting him in that role was perfect as well.

I saw the hills have eyes (2006) recently and whilst I enjoyed it, there was one scene that did make me feel very uncomfortable watching it - and then there were others where I was laughing (admittedly I was the only one laughing at first, but it soon caught on - apparently my laughter was a bit infectious) but how often do you see a bloke called Goggle waving about a raw leg of a dog whilst wearing a bowler hat and shouting gibberish at a small girl who looked a bit like Sloth from the Goonies?

Do not EVER watch Silent Hill - it took away more than 2 hours of my life that I will never ever get back. The less said about it the better, but one question that is left burning a hole in my mind is where did the bloke with a giant triangle for a head come in to things? No one explained this and I am less than happy about it

I have just bought Night Watch on DVD and despite it being all in Russian it is a superb movie if you like your vampirey fantasy stuff - I can't wait for the second installment in the trilogy to come out in the cinema this year - take it from me Day Watch will be great - but you will have needed to see Night Watch for it to make any sense I reckon.

I reckon Closer with Natalie Portman, Jude "I shag nannys" Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen was a pretty damn good movie. A bit grown up and chick flicky maybe but the Damien Rice soundtrack is incredible - as is the sight of Natalie Portman lapdanicng to be fair. Any movie that humiliates Law in the way that it did (well I know it's his character - but I can imagine he had a similar look on his face when he found out that Sienna Miller was banging Daniel Craig) is ok by me. I have not been a particular fan of Clive Owen before this one either - but I thought he was pretty damn good. Julia Roberts I can either take or leave - she is put in the shade by the others in this one though.

I also like the Scientologist's movie - The Last Samurai. It is a good story that's well acted, but someone should have told the director that Billy Conolly is not Irish and that no matter how hard he tries - and by god will he keep on trying, Tom Cruise will never win an oscar - even if he does a good job, as he does in this one.

Having re read this little bit I can't believe that I have left out Gladiator, Russell Crowe in a leather skirt cutting the shit out people with old school swords and making fun of Emperor Johnny Cash. In truth I know it's a bit cheesy and almost a parody of the old hollywood epics like spartacus, but it's done so well I really like it. What we do in life echos in eternity and all that stuff - god love it! Especially the scene in the colloseum where you can see gas cannisters attached the chariot! Awesome!

I really wanna see Hard Candy - if anyone has seen it please let me know what it's like, same goes for the new Omen movie as well

Television:

Well I own one - it's good for watching footy on, I think that's about it, although that said Shameless and Teachers are both awesome - although Teachers is sadly no more.

If I am being honest with myself I also had a bit of a Buffy thing going on - although that said I don't think I have so much as watched a single episode for years now - going cold turkey was very very difficult...

Books:

As with music and movies - this changes all the time. I am have just read all of Dan Browns stuff and have to say that I enjoyed Angels and Demons the most, I have tons and tons of Terry Pratchett stuff and enjoy that loads, I like the Harry Potter books and have read a few Michael Moore ones recently as well - they were ok but nothing special.

I have also read a bunch of classic stuff as a requirement for once studying English Literature - I have to say Jane Eyre was not all it's cracked up to be - I wanted the mentalist in the loft to win! 1984 was a laugh a minute as was The Cement Garden and The Wasp Factory. The Handmaiden's Tale was a bright and uplifting vision of times to come - sincerely suggest that if you are depressed you should give them a go.

In all seriousness I did enjoy reading some of the Shakespeare stuff - Romeo and Juliet is a ripping yarn about 2 crazy kids who just can't get enough of each other and Much Ado About Nothing was just sensational I mean a book about nothing - I wish I had thought of the concept! I am liking the work of James Patterson at the moment as well - When The Wind Blows is a great book and is the start of a series. I will soon be starting to read Maximum Ride by Patterson, which is not pornographic despite the title.

Heroes:

B A Baracas

Bill Shankly

Optimus Prime

Father Christmas

Siegfried and Roy - but mainly the Tiger who snapped (quite literally)

Professor Weeto

WARNING - HARRY THE HAMSTER IS A FOUL MOUTHED LITTLE DEVIL, IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY NAUGHTY WORDS I WOULD SUGGEST YOU DON'T LISTEN TO HIM

He drinks Sangria - he is King Luis Garcia
