| | Television | 24, ALIAS, Angel, Arrested Development, The Ben Stiller Show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, FIREFLY, Garth Marenghi's DARKPLACE, The Hustle, Lost, Mr. Show with Bob and David, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Smallville, Sledge Hammer!, SPACED (what a bunch of The Greatest Television Show Ever Produced that is), SUPERNATURAL, Veronica Mars, and the occasional bit of WWE Raw/Smackdown - whenever Roddy Piper's a go. | | Books | Clive Barker. Richard Price. Hubert Selby Jr. Hank Rollins. Hank Miller. A love/hate relationship with Stephen King. William Gibson - prior to an utter lack of relevance. Skipp and Spector before the fall.
James Howe. Motherfu*king BUNNICULA!
BUNNICULA!!! Do you understand?!!
And must I mention Vonnegut? I love the man's work - but it's become far too trendy to carry one of his books around at Barnes and Noble whilst sipping $14.00 Douchecafe prepared by some twentysomething dreadlocked white suburbanite. Vonnegut would no doubt behold you fucking hipsters with fear in his heart.
Same thing goes for Hunter Thompson. He did more than drugs, kids - look it up.
And now, a random sampling of my bookshelves:
Koushun Takami's Battle Royale, Sam Fuller's A Third Face, Art Spiegelman's Maus, Roddy Piper's In The Pit, Joe Bob Briggs' Profoundly Disturbing, King's The Stand, Barker's Weaveworld, Irvine Welsh's Porno, G. Gordon Liddy's Will, Sagan's Cosmos, William Goldman's The Princess Bride, Stefan Hammond's Sex & Zen and a Bullet in the Head, Rollins' See a Grown Man Cry, Alan Moore's Watchmen, Cornelius Ryan's A Bridge Too Far, The Rubayat of Omar Khayyam, David Schow's The Kill Riff, and the Sunnydale High Yearbook.
"I'm afraid of people who like Catcher in the Rye/Yeah, I like it too, but someone tell me why/people he'd despise say "I feel like that guy"/I don't wanna' grow up 'cause I don't wanna die..."
| | Heroes | It sounds conceited, but I’m my own hero. And my own cousin.
John Woo, Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo Del Toro, and Joss Whedon are guiding forces. Robert Rodriguez is inspiration. Wong Kar Wai is Love. Chan Wook-Park is Pain. John Carpenter is Fear. Chang Cheh is Death. Henry Rollins is Spiritual Guidance Guru.
Roddy Piper is my Co-Pilot.
Have you accepted Shane Black as your savior? |
