I'll try to be short but i doubt it will be.I love movies but most importantly i love making movies. I love B rated films all the way up to independent films and even hollywood. As long as the movie holds a single shred of a philosophy, ethics or morals i think its a successful film in its basic intent (doesn't mean its a good movie, but atleast it has to have a damn reason for being made!).I love funky fashionable people, corsets, leather, vinyl, knee high boots, faux fur. I love Power suits, glasses, pin stripe, jet black hair, blond hair.I love leisure riding, walking along the beach, philosophy, history, dancing, brainstorming ideas/dreams, meeting new people, tennis, laying in bed listening to music while the sun rises, listening to music while dosing off to sleep.I love the process of filmmaking, especially preproduction. Directing and Art direction.I love samurais that cut you down with one stroke, ninjas that can throw a thousand shurikens at you and turn you into a porcupine, Spartans because their hardcore, Roman legionnaires because they got the coolest looking armour, Castles because their just plain gorgeous, European knights in full gothic plate because they get all the hot girls, dragons because their bad asses, wizards because they can blow regiments up with one spell, aliens that look like giant beetles that want to eat you alive, rolling tomatoes that want to squish you flat, green blobs that want to devour you whole then leave your remains as a trail of goo. Giant bunny rabbits that eat man alive (yes that movie exists!), zombies because theres just so FUCKING MANY of them to kill!...I think thats it for now!
I'd love to meet Wong Kar Wai so i can pick his brains apart and probably get into some serious movie debates.Nick Cave because he is an absolute genius of the dark variety.

Maj. General Smedley Butler....A true hero and probably one of the most important Whistleblower.
