I'd like to meet:
Old friends with whom I've lost contact. Stealth exhibitionists, ninja mayonnaise, sexual acrobats, and pillow summoning sorcerers. Voyeurs.
Music:
My all time favorite band is Dead Can Dance. Lisa Gerrard's side projects are favorites as well. I really enjoy too many bands to list by name. Favored Genres include Goth, Industrial, EBM, Synthpop, Eighties New Wave and on occasion some ambient techno.
Movies:
All time favorites include (but not limited to): Secretary, Henry and June, Edward Scissorhands, Memento, Following, Zero Effect, Amelie, Clerks, Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I recently saw Closer and was actually quite impressed (and not simply because I got to see Natalie Portman almost naked).
I truly admire independent film director Hal Hartley. Some of his films that I love are: Amateur, Henry Fool, The Unbelievable Truth, Simple Men and Truth.
I enjoy special effects blockbusters for what they are. Movies that touch me on a deeper level seem to stay with me though.
Television:
Family Guy, Kids in the Hall, Monty Python, South Park, Adult Swim, Rome, The Sopranos, History Channel, Discovery, TLC, Comedy Central, The Weather Channel, The Military Channel, Biography, Sundance and Tech-Tv.
Network television bores the living bejesus out of me. What we really need is ala-carte cable television. Someone.... Anyone... Beuller?
My childhood memories of television are the best. I loved Buck Rogers, Land of the Lost, Star Blazers, Space Ghost, The A-Team and Knight Rider. Extra points of coolness to anyone who can share the memory of a short run series called Cliffhangers. I really miss that show. Thank the heavens above for Netflix. Now I can watch all of them until my heart's content.
Books:
My favorite all time author is Henry Miller. I'm also a big fan of Anais Nin and Anne Rice.
David Sedaris, Chuck Palahniuk, Edgar Allan Poe, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Shakespeare, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, Nigel Calder
Heroes:
First and foremost my friends and family. My Wife Biyana. My darling daughter Eliana. Pimp Van Driver. Bernard Getz.
