About Me

REVEREND H.W SMITH: Mr Hicock will lie beside two brothers, one he likely killed and one he killed for certain. And now he's been killed in turn. So much blood. And on the battlefields of the Brother's War, I saw more blood than this, and asked then as to the purpose and did not know, and don't know the purpose now, but know now to testify that, not knowing, I believe. Saint Paul tells us, "From one spirit are we all baptised into one body. The eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of thee." Nay, much more those members of the body which seem to be more feeble, and those members of the body which we think of as less honourable, all are nessecary. He says that there should be no schism in the body but that the members should have the same care one to another. And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.

My Interests

Cinema, music, literature, the American West, labour history, consensual sex with one-legged girls.

I'd like to meet:

Cameron Crowe, and get drunk with him (I wonder if he drinks?) and talk about Billy Wilder. Amy Studt, and leave her standing at the altar. The guy from the Grolsch adverts, and cast him in a postmodern Milton Keynes cop show. John Hughes, and explore his soul. Hunter S, at the pearly gates, and find out why he did it.

Music:

The Doors, the Who, Bob Dylan, Alabama 3, Mitch Benn, Hayseed Dixie, Robert Johnson.

Movies:

Too many to list, but my favourite films of all time are Casablanca, My Darling Clementine, The Third Man, Lawrence of Arabia, Apocalypse Now, Miller's Crossing, The Thin Red Line, Unforgiven, Once Upon A Time in the West, L.A. Confidential, The Godfather: Part II, American Beauty and Chinatown. Worthy contenders that don't quite qualify for that select company include The Big Lebowski, Almost Famous, The Magnificent Seven, Serenity, all of Wes Anderson's movies, all of Kevin Smith's movies.
