I'm in a wheelbarrow. And this time, it's personal...

About Me

I was once fished out of a river by the lead singer of the short lived brit-pop group Menswear. I Like "Hats" (the Blue Nile album) almost as much as I like hats (trilby, pork pie, bonnet, bobble, stetson, baseball cap and most other incarnations). My life is probably more exciting than yours. Unless its not.

Too many to mention. I love David Lynch - he's fucking mental. Like a lot of asian cinema, particularly the really weird stuff. Also a big fan of 70's Hollywood cinema - Coppola, Scorsese etc. Recently I really liked Sin City and A Scanner Darkly. Fucking loved Shaun Of The Dead. My favourite films (that I can think of at the moment) are: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Blue Velvet, Raging Bull, Cinema Paradiso, Goodfellas, Oldboy, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Jaws, The Big Lebowski and On The Waterfront.
