My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York City) is an American former basketball player, considered by many to be the greatest of all time. He became the most effectively marketed athlete of his generation and was instrumental in spreading the appeal of the NBA to corporate America and overseas in the 1980s and 1990s. He is currently a part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.Considered a remarkable force at both ends of the floor, "M.J." ended an NBA career of 15 seasons with a regular-season scoring average of 30.12 points per game, the highest in NBA history (marginally ahead of Wilt Chamberlain's 30.06). He won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls (during which he won all six NBA Finals MVP awards), won 10 scoring titles, and was league MVP five times. He was named to the All-NBA First Team 10 times, All-Defensive First Team nine times, and led the league in steals three times. Since 1983, he has appeared on the front cover of Sports Illustrated a record 49 times, and was named the magazine's "Sportsman of the Year" in 1991. He has also appeared on the cover of SLAM Magazine nine times (a record), including as the cover athlete for the magazine's 50th and 100th issues. In 1999, he was named "the greatest athlete of the 20th century" by ESPN, and was second only to Babe Ruth on the Associated Press list of top athletes of the century. His leaping ability, vividly illustrated by dunking from the foul line and other feats, earned him the nicknames "Air Jordan" and "His Airness." Lucas, George W., Jr., 1944?, American film director, producer, and writer, b. Modesto, Calif. Although Lucas's first film, THX-1138 (1970), was not successful, his next two, American Graffiti (1973) and Star Wars (1977), set the course for filmmaking in the next decade. The first made song scores an acceptable alternative to symphonic orchestrations; the second presented a simple action scenario bolstered by amazing special effects. Both were tremendously successful, the latter becoming the first film to top $200 million at the box office. Lucas then formed Lucasfilm (which has since become a business conglomerate) and produced two further installments of the Star Wars tale, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). In both films he promoted a special effects-driven aesthetic through the formation of Industrial Light and Magic, a company that produces state-of-the-art effects for films.Lucas also produced the popular Indiana Jones trilogy, which mixed spectacular stunt work with a seriallike content of inescapable traps from which the stalwart hero escapes. In addition, he has provided financial sponsorship for more traditional work, such as Akira Kurosawa's Ran (1985). In 1987 he won a special Academy Award for lifetime achievement. By the early 1990s he controlled a large, multifaceted entertainment business empire. Lucas has also produced, written, and directed three additional installments of the Star Wars cycle, ?prequels? entitled The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), and Revenge of the Sith (2005). Tetsuya Nomura (????; Nomura Tetsuya, born October 10, 1970), is a game and character designer at Square Enix. Before working for Square Enix, formerly Squaresoft, Nomura was at a vocational school creating art for advertisements. In 1992, Squaresoft hired him to work on the battle graphics of Final Fantasy V and then as graphic director in 1994 for Final Fantasy VI. In 1996, a game project called Silent Chaos (which was originally the sequel of Dark Earth, a PC adventure game) was stopped after several months of development, and became a PlayStation game, developed in collaboration with Squaresoft. The characters, designed by François Rimasson at first, were totally redesigned by Tetsuya Nomura; but the project never ended and Silent Chaos was definitively stopped in November 1999, after two and a half years of development.Tetsuya Nomura did not gain recognition until 1995, when Squaresoft asked him to be the character designer for their new opus, Final Fantasy VII. The game was a huge critical and commercial success and became the definitive role playing game for the PlayStation. In 1998, he worked on both Parasite Eve & Brave Fencer Musashi. The following year, Nomura worked on another game that achieved commercial success?Final Fantasy VIII?where he acted as the lead character designer and the battle visual director.Afterwards, Nomura worked on several other miscellaneous projects such as Ehrgeiz and Parasite Eve II for the PlayStation. He continued on to design characters for Squaresoft's first PlayStation 2 venture, The Bouncer, before returning to character designing for the Final Fantasy series with Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, and Final Fantasy XI. More recently, he has acted as the director, concept artist, and character designer for Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts II.Nomura directed the CGI animated film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children which was released in 2005 in Japan and in America on April 25th, 2006, and also wrote some of the lyrics that appear on the soundtrack, except for the final track of the movie's soundtrack: "CALLING".Nomura is currently working on the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII projects as the character designer of all three games and the director of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, as well as the character designer of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for the Playstation Portable. He is also under the development of the title It's a Wonderful World for the Nintendo DS.
