I am interested in: Elizabeth Mitchell, movies, Mark Reiswig, sushi, Jared Forman, movie making, Dustin Strocchia, fine wine, and of course: Syra "Oliver Twist" McCarthy, and traveling.
I also love serious issues, boring subjects, stuff that doesn't relate just to me, foreign cinema, existentialism, experimental music, classic comedy (not that potty humor that is below me), "20/20," "60 minutes," Hugh Downes?, Morey Saffer??, Andy (or Mickey?) Rooney, blah-de-blah, de-blah, look at me! I'm so.........serious. And important. I actually don't really care about anything since you (reader) and I (writer/genius) are both going to die. Most likely you before me. No really, shape up. Shape up or die. But really kids, I kid. I like things. I actually love things. But that's all our time today folks.
Music
I love everything but here's some: Snow Patrol ("Chasing Cars" shout out to Kiwi radio and Mark Reiswig and Ep and cousin Sam), "Boxed Up" score (oh that's right. I composed said score with Myles and Dusty. Good job me and all you stand for.) Radiohead & Outkast...fuckin amazing. Pink Floyd, Simon & Garfunkel, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Damian Rice, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, Cage, Aesop Rock, Tone Def, Nick Drake, Common, Coldplay, Nina Simone, Miles Davis, The Platters, as well as composers, Howard Shore, Elmer Bernstein, Hans Zimmer, J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Grieg, Mozart and many more that I might add later. Too many to name and classify.
Movies
So many to list, so many genres, so many countries and they rotate depending on mood. Eastern Promises, Elizabeth (both the g.f. and movie...more so g.f.), Michael Clayton (because George Clooney is a good looking all-American, not because of the quality of the film...just because I want to be George Clooney. Actually I don't wanna be George Clooney because that means I will be dead sooner but if I could be George Clooney in "The Facts of Life" era, I still would not want to be George Clooney. But possibly...if I could be George Clooney season 2 of "E.R.," with a dash of David Caruso season 1 os "N.Y.P.D. Blue" and season 3 of "C.S.I. Miami" with a touch of "Proof of Life" and some Russell Crowe action and still be my age...a youthful 27 years of age...and have immortality, i would SO want to be George Clooney), American Beauty, Network, Jules and Jim, Godfather trilogy, everything Scorsese, Kubrick, and Malick, Rumble Fish, Amelie, Royal Tennenbaums, Magnificent Ambersons, Sisters, Ran, Rashomon, Seventh Seal, The Celebration, To Live and Die in LA, City Lights, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Straw Dogs, Bridge on the River Kwai, The Searchers, The Man who would be King, anything by George Melies and PTA, Eternal Sunshine..., Donnie Darko, Vertigo, anything by Sergio Leone and The Coens, Wild Strawberries, The Graduate, Carnal Knowledge, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, It's a Wonderful Life, Being There, Love Actually, Bowling For Columbine, Night of the Hunter, Touch of Evil, Parallex View, Take the Money and Run, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Mother, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Rio Bravo, True Romance, The Ruling Class, The Deer Hunter, The Decalogue, The Colors Trilogy, The Girl Next Door, Pump up the Volume(and proud of it) 25th Hour, Point Break, Do The Right Thing, Band of Outsiders, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Billy Liar, CITY OF GOD anything by Truffaut, Takashi Miike, Chan Wook Park, Michael Mann, Fincher, Spielberg, Tarantino, Fellini, Polanski, Burton, Depalma, Spike Jonze and Lee, Gilliam.....trust me the list will not stop....my apologies to the films and the directors I have not named...it's just the mood of the day...
Oh, I also like the movies I make.
Television
Tell Me You Love Me (No really, Tell Me You Love Me. Send me a message or leave me a comment) The Office (both, I love both David and Michael. I'm bi-office) Family Guy, Simpsons, Three's Company, Cheers, Seinfeld, Taxi, I love Lucy, Night Court, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Oz, Sopranos, Six Feet Under, 24, Da Ali G show, Bill Maher, David Letterman, The Ben Stiller Show, there are many more from childhood but this is some of the best of...
Books
anything by Herman Hesse (especially Siddhartha, Steppenwolf & Narcissus and Goldmund), Chuck Palahnuik(especially Survivor & Fight Club), Wayside school is falling down and My Teacher is an alien(childhood faves that still stick), Elmore Leonard's stuff is fantastic, Rule of the Bone, East of Eden, The Catcher in the Rye(of course that's like saying Beatles is my favorite band), A Cinema of Loneliness, The Stranger, Edgar Allen Poe, Shel Silverstein(another childhood classic), Fyodor Dostoyefsky's Brother Karamozov, Noam Chomsky's The Prosperous Few and the Restless Many, Michael Moore's Stupid White Men, Aristotle's Poetics, Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces, In The Blink of an Eye by Walter Murch, Making Movies by Sidney Lumet, The Filmmakers Handbook, On Directing Film (director's book)& True or False(actor's book) both by David Mamet, oh so many more...I must stop.
I would name more but Artin Rodriguez borrows my books and does not give them back. So I forget what books I've read.
***note to self: DO NOT let Artin Rodriguez borrow any more of my books
btw-I never learned how to read or write this whole book section is a facade.
Heroes
Episode VI- Rocky's son is the shit, but if me and him were to do battle I'd beat the shit out of him because he can't live up to his father.
About me: I enjoy a lot of things and I dislike certain things. I am a writer/director of commercials, music videos and movies.

FAVORITE TRAILER OF THE YEAR SO FAR....
Hi Sean. Do you happen to know a director by the name of Sean Donahue? I did a movie with him called Dancing on Coals a while back and saw on the internet that it has been playing in different theatres/film festivals and wondered what happened to him. His email and phone numbers are invalid. I know that Sean Flanagan was in that movie too and I believe you know him. Do you happen to know anything about him? So man Seans! It's amazing. How's everything going anyway?
thanks for the very late birthday wish which was just a sneaky way of calling yourself awesome. this comment is also my official notice to you of abandonment of the space. if for some reason you need to reach me via social networking site instead of life, book me.
Hi Sean. It was great working with you again today. I look forward to seeing the commercials. I also hope to work with you in April on your other projects; you are a great filmmaker and I know you'll go far.
Happy birthday Sean, long time no see. Hope all is well and fame is knocking on your door step ;) best of wishes on your birthday and hope you get to spend it with the ones you want to spend with and not just the ones with presents ;) peace
you're so good to mana...fufilling her hope for you to have a fabulous day and all your wishes to come true. since you have decided to spend it with me, your day WILL be fabulous and all your wishes ARE coming true. look how giving you are, even on your own birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you boyfriend, and to mana as well, for you giving her the greatest gift you could give another: your own happiness and contentment with life. good for you. you done good, kid. you done good.
actually calling you 'kid' REALLY won't apply anymore these days will it? you done good...elderly man. feel free to bring over any walkers, depends, or prune juice you may need to help get you through the day. xoxo
Happy birthday Sean! I hope you have a good celebration on your birthday. Will you be doing anymore movies soon? Please keep me in mind when you are casting. I have done several more films and have clips of them on my profile page if you want to view them. I never did get the dvd of Boxed Up. When can I get that?
