MusicI spend most of my time listening to classical composers and film scores. I own a lot of John Williams and Howard Shore. I'm also a big fan of Wagner. Great background music for when I'm reading or writing.

I have rather eclectic tastes when it comes to pop music: everything from the Beatles to Rob Zombie. I've also got a bizarre fascination with one-hit wonders, especially from the 80s.

MoviesALL-TIME FAVORITE: The Wizard of Oz

DRAMA: Braveheart; Fight Club; Gladiator; Shawshank Redemption

COMEDY: Anything by the Brothers Zucker; Animal House; Singin' in the Rain; Battlefield Earth (as in it's so bad it's funny)

ANIMATION: Transformers: The Movie; The Incredibles/Iron Giant; Classic Looney Tunes; Akira

SUPERHERO: Pretty much all of them though I hold a special spot in my heart for the first two Superman movies.

TelevisionCURRENTLY ON THE AIR: 24; The Shield; South Park; The Batman; Battlestar Galactica

ONLY IN RERUNS: Batman: TOS, Superman: TOS and Justice League Unlimited; Buffy/Angel; Star Trek: TNG

GRAPHIC NOVELS: Kingdom Come; Dark Knight Returns ; Scott Pilgrim; Watchmen; All-Star Superman; Maus; Jimmy Corrigan; Ultimates; Sandman; Astro City; From Hell; Top 10; Akira; 100 Bullets

   Joshua's Blurbs
About me:
"I'd been alive less than a day when I first cheated death."

That's going to be the first line of my autobiography if and when I ever get around to writing the thing. See, I've got this crazy habit of nearly getting killed every since months or so. Car crashes, 3rd degree burns across my chest and arm, cancer... I've lived through it all. And I've got the many, many scars to prove it.

But this past year has been remarkably near-death experience free. In fact, these last twelve months have probably been the best of my life. I'm living in a great city and fulfilling my childhood dream of writing my own graphic novel series and comic strip. Yes, life is indeed good.

Which probably means that I'll be hit by a bus any day now...

Who I'd like to meet:
People interested in comics, manga, animation, sci-fi -- all that sort of geeky stuff.

Comic and film industry professionals for networking purposes.

Hey my friend, it was another fun time hanging out with you at WWC this year!

I will be planning a trip for Chicago later this year, I think, and will be sure to give you a ring when I do.

I hope that you also had a blast at the con, and be sure to keep in touch.

I hate it, I abhor it, I can't figure it out, but when I heard one of my friends talking about how he networks through it and found himself a cinematographer and other crew members for a beautiful short he did, I realized I should probably get it.

I am very unhappy about it.
