Television
Twin Peaks, The Twilight Zone, Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Are You Being Served?, M*A*S*H, The Outer Limits, Star Trek (the original series), and Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Books
None. In general, books bore me.
Heroes
Stanley Kubrick, Win Butler, Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Nicholson, Roman Polanski, James Stewart, Marcello Mastroianni, Federico Fellini, David Lynch, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Anthony Hopkins, Ingmar Bergman, Roger Waters, Ed Wood, George Lucas (for milking as much money out of a dead franchise as possible), Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and Woody Allen (Yes, he was kind of sick, but he was a great director).
About me: My name is Andrew, for those of you who don't already know. I'm a movie critic. In fact, I'm a critic of just about everything, as well as somewhat of a cynic. I play video games occasionally, but as the years have gone on, it has taken on a far less significant role in my life. My dream job is to become a film director, and I plan to achieve this by first becoming a cinematographer. Chances are, if you're around my age, I hate your favorite music/films. I don't hate everyone, contrary to what those I hate would like to believe. I try to be as friendly as possible, but with some of the idiots that attend my current high school, that's not always possible. While I have been called a racist by some, you must examine my words more closely, and you will find that I have no hatred towards any specific race; only the terribly negative attitudes that the ignorant tend to adopt. Lucas Dietz and I have made it our personal mission to turn one of our favorite films, The Holy Mountain, into a midnight movie phenomenon. We plan to do this by holding "Holy Mountain Parties". If you have any interest in these, just ask.
Who I'd like to meet: Win Butler, Kurt Cobain (I know he's dead...thanks to Courtney Love!), Bill Gates (no, I'm not a fan...most of you who know me have guessed this), Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Alfred Hitchcock (I'll resurrect his corpse if I have to!).
ANDREW!!!!!!!!!!!!! hey i have a question for you! do you know the song that starts with violins and the band name starts with a T? i've had it stuck in my head since i've woken up but i cant remember the words, the song name or the band name... i'm completely lost lol
Dude, I found this CD with no markings on it in my car a few weeks ago, and I listened to it and absolutely loved it(What tracks would play anyway, it was pretty scratched). So I was always like WHO THE F IS THIS BECAUSE ITS AWESOME! Popped it into my computer; lo and behold its Good News for People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse. Its badass.
