About Me

I am a fairly normal person, when you choose to ignore my somewhat freakish knowledge of sports trivia and my desire to one day own the DVD of every Oscar winner for Best Picture, including the ones that really suck like "Titanic" and "Broadway Melody of 1929." I also used to be a nice guy, but since chicks dig assholes I have decided to change my ways and become a more disagreeable person in general.-- --tnote[You can bypass this document]-- ..tr Chris Knight

Chris Knight - (Val Kilmer)
Real Genius (1985)
You are Chris Knight. You're brilliant, but you know that if you don't think about anything but work, you'll get burnt out. No danger of that for you. You're loyal to your friends, you love the ladies, and most of all the ladies love you.
"Moles and trolls, moles and trolls, work, work, work, work, work. We never see the light of day. We plan this thing for weeks and all they want to do is study. I'm disgusted. I'm sorry but it's not like me, I'm depressed. There was what, no one at the mutant hamster races, we only had one entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later. Why do I bother?"
