ZONK, Mimi & Teft, Old skool 80's, some r n b, good rock in general, and whatever else is good and I can party to it.
Movies
STAR WARS I - VI (Lucas-Haters are jealous miserable failures who will NEVER make something remotely close to the Star Wars story. To those who hate the prequels: if you Jar-Jar-phobes feel Lucas "raped your childhood", you truly need help. The prequels rock! So many whine about Star Wars, yet own all the movies, know all the characters, and quote all the quotes--saying you hate it to sound "cool" to other filmakers is so f-ing GAY!!!),
SIN CITY, FROM DUSK TIL DAWN and all things Robert Rodriguez(I swear he is my FATHER!!),
all things James Cameron--TITANIC is another movie that dateless film keyboard jockeys bitch about, yet everyone remembers the king of the world, the hand brush against a steamy window, and the greatest "last shot/curtain call" ever, and it's the highest grossing film of all time!!! Terminator is good, but T2 is a masterpiece, especially compared to flicks now, where overcutting and handheld shots are abused to death.
MEMENTO and all things Chris Nolan,
UNBREAKABLE and all things M Night(when he's on he's on, when he's off though. . .),
all things Alfred Hitchcock (whom "Victim Of Her" is dedicated to--Hitchcock and the femme fatale character),
MULHOLLAND DRIVE, BLUE VELVET, and all things David Lynch(one of a kind, artistic GENIUS!!)
DRESSED TO KILL and all things Brian DePalma(another guy who gets hated on for stupid reasons--he's always said Hitchcock was his hero and his inspiration, and still gets crapped on),
EVIL DEAD and all things Sam Raimi(THE QUICK AND THE DEAD is so underappreciated),
all Zombie-related movies(DAWN OF THE DEAD, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD),
all things Spielberg(you knew he'd be on this list--JAWS, INDY JONES, BTTF, etc.),
all things Quentin T,
LOTR trilogy and all things Peter Jackson,
MAGNOLIA, all things PT Anderson,
The HELLRAISER series,
all things David Fincher(FIGHT CLUB, SEVEN--hell, his music videos kicked major ass)
THE LAST BOYSCOUT and all things with Bruce Willis--I WILL direct a movie with him as lead someday!!
THE BREAKFAST CLUB, TOMBSTONE, ROMY AND MICHELE(the best "80's Revisit" flick has great cinematography!!), HERO(Jet Li), EQUILIBRUIM(Matrix-Killer), SILENT TRIGGER(Dolph Lundgren was so great in this--too bad he doesn't play the politic game in Hollywood), BASIC INSTINCT(Sharon Stones's career igniter, Jan De Bont's great cinematography), WILD THINGS, TEAM AMERICA, STRIPES, CHEECH AND CHONG series, Steven Seagal flicks(in his prime, Above The Law thru Under Siege 2), REVENGE OF THE NINJA and 80's Ninja flicks(Sho Kusugi is sooooooo coming back!!)
Television
The DEAD ZONE, New BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (its mindblowing how great this show is, and is waaayyy better than the original. Take Band of Brothers, Sci-Fi, and a Victoria Secret model, and you get the genius that this show is!! Put's all primetime shows to shame!! FRAK 24 and FRAK Lost--Galactica is THE game, and it's that damned good!!) STARGATE SG-1(sci-fi with humor and immense worlds, like in the original SW trilogy), DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (get past the hype and paid adverts, and the show is very good. In case you were wondering: I'd nail ALL the housewives!! Ha-ha!! Way sexier cast then Sex and the City), LAW & ORDER SVU (Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay actually make me respect cops. . .at least for an hour),
Anything on HBO--if its on HBO, it's practically a movie shot in sections, and its too damn good for the crappy networks: OZ (still way ahead of its time. Dean Winters, Chris Meloni, Lee Tergensen, and Adel--well, Adebisi; need I say more?), ROME (the best show on TV period. A show that has something for everyone. 13!!!!!!!!), BIG LOVE (Bill Paxton married to 3 wives-game over man!!),
THIRD WATCH--Bosco is the coolest cop ever, and melikes Tia Texada!! MOONLIGHTING (Hollywood will never write or light good clever comedy ever again),, THE SHIELD, WWE, TNA, ULTIMATE FIGHTING. Almost all the reality shows on VH1 - ROCK OF LOVE (JES RULES!)

About me:
First off, Ladies: I like you slim/athletic and BLONDE--but, a good brunette could aIways kick a blonde silly--but they are few and far between. Oh, I have a good relationship with my mom, have nice teeth, and nice shoes!! LOL. If you are psycho, full of baggage, repressed in sex, or just have issues with men(you know who you are)--you might want to look somewhere else. . .My life is just a big adventure right now, with no intention of slowing down. I'm the type of guy who likes to hang out with the guys to discuss film, life, love, and politics over at a pub, who escapes to Napa to savor the taste of a good wine and the countryside, and one by nite who likes to let it all go by dancing either ballroom or just to club with the pals, and always meeting new people.
Who I'd like to meet: The man who does it all (and is probably my real dad) Robert Rodriguez.
