Music:
.. width="425" height="350" ..My favorite band (which changes every year really) is at hte moment Opeth, by far. i'm also loving Evergrey, Pain of Salvation, and Vintersorg. Dream Theater, Symphony X, Iron Maiden and Death (and Control Denied) also go in my top tier of bands. the rest i like in no particular order, except maybe alphabetical. Anthrax, Atheist, Ayreon, Blind Guardian, Carcass, Children of Bodom, Crimson Roots, Cynic, Dragonforce, Emperor, Ensiferum, Gamma Ray, Gordian Knot, Iced Earth, In Flames (only some), Into Eternity, Joe Satriani, Kalmah, Judas Priest, Korpiklaani, Kyuss, Led Zeppelin, Manowar, Martin Behr (sick european guitarist), some Megadeth, some Meshuggah, Michael Romeo, Obsessed, Orphaned Land (awesome Israeli progressive metal band), some Ozzy, couple songs from Pantera (k fine just Cemetery Gates and Cowboys from Hell), Porcupine Tree, Primal Fear, some songs by Rage Against the Machine, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are always fun, Rush, S.O.D, some Soundgarden, Steve Vai, Stratovarius, Suspyre, Testament, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Trivium, some Yngwie Malmsteen, Yosi Piamenta, and Zero Hour.that was mainly the metal. I also like pretty much any Jazz that's not too wild for me to understand, stuff to challenge my ear but not fuck with it. As for my favorite classical composers... There is no genius like the genius of Bach. I also like Vivaldi, some Telemann, some Beethoven and Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Bruckner, Wagner (douchebag but i just love norse mythology so i can't help it), Schubert, John Williams!!!! lol Rimmsky-Korsakov, some Stravinsky (very little. i still can't handle most modern classical). yeah i could keep going but this is getting boring, and i dont think anyone really cares. anymore, u all get hte idea.as for my position on fake metal bands, or metal
Movies:
Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Super Trooopers, Southpark movie, HALF BAKED!!! lol o and Baseketball. Also Minority Report, which i just saw. Troy, Kung Pow!! (Enter the Fist), Braveheart, the Patriot, Schindler's List, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, pretty much anything funny or epic. Saw was great too... usually 'scary movies' are actually just 'cheesy bloody movies,' but Saw was actually really good.... can't think of any other so called horror movies that i like offhand.Recent awesome additions: Requiem for a Dream, Donny Darko, Batman Begins,
Television:
Family Guy, South Park, Simpsons, Futurama.... NOT AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE!!! that show is about the adventures of munchies... ye basically just cartoons. O and Chapelle's show, and Sascha Barren Cohen (if u don't know who that is, then u clearly haven't thrown a jew down a well recently.)
Books:
I used to read a shitload, don't have much time anymore (fuckin flatbush high school), but my favorites now are anything by Ayn Rand or Joseph Heller. I guess my favorit ebook is Atlas Shrugged, then The Fountainhead, then Anthem, then We the Living (lol the ayn rand fictions.) I also read and loved a nonfiction of hers, The Virtue of Selfishness. My favorite thing by Joseph Heller is of course catch-22, followed by God Knows, Closing Time, Something Happened, and Picture This. I loved Arthur Miller's The Crucible, I love Sophocles's Oedipus plays, i love Macbeth and Hamlet. I love hte Iliad, and hte Oddyssey is pretty good i guess (lol.) I liked Inferno and Paradiso, but Purgatorio can suck my balls... the Divine Comedy is good in small doses only, Dante is too long winded for me. I loved Paradise Lost, and Paradise regained was phenomenal when i could udnerstand it. i'm sure i could think of a lot more favorites of mine if i tried, but i figure if i have to think much about it then i must not love them all that much. lol as an afterthought, i'd like to make it known that anything by Dan Brown (including the sainted Da Vinci Code) isn't well written enough to merit my pissing on it. O and I forgot about John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces, one of the funniest books ever.
Heroes:
myself. Tucker Max, and his hero Pat Tillman for obvious reasons. Yossarian. Howard Roark and the Men of the Mind. Benjamin Franklin, Oskar Schindler (no relation), Arnold Schwarzennegger (name one other person whose always at the top of his game, no matter what game it is. mr. olympia, hollywood megastar, and governor. i dont care how comical he is, that's success right there). er, Michael Romeo, John Petrucci, Shawn Lane, and pretty much anyone wiht mad skillz. no particular order to all that, and probably more.
