Interested in all things movie. I enjoy movies for their entertainment value primarily. I think it was Samuel Goldwyn who once said "If I want to send a message, I'll call Western Union." I'm a sucker for a good "screwball comedy" like "Philadelphia Story" or "Bringing Up Baby," and watch the old William Powell, Myrna Loy "Thin Man" movies on a regular basis. For contemporyary stuff I like a good action movie and you gotta love Will Ferrell for comic relief. If you get the chance, check out "Bad Reputation" (available on dvd Oct 2nd) if you're a horror fan, and "Freezerburn" for something a little lighter.
I'm also a huge music fan and enjoy everything from Otmar Liebert, Alan Parsons, and the Philadelphia Orchestra to Glassjaw and Johnny Cash.
I recently moved to Palmdale. I have a pretty dry sense of humor and a "deadpan" delivery. Big fan of Dave Barry, James Thurber, Robert Benchley, and Marx Brothers humor. Would have loved to have been aroung the Algonquin Round Table back in the day. (Google it)
