I love all GOOD music, including (good) jazz, (good) rock,(good) punk, (good) opera. No lite FM versions of above. And no, there IS no (good) new country.
This does not exclude other genres, but listing bores me.
I am vocally talented and will be offering some selections of my latest work on this myspace page, for your listening pleasure.
Movies
Funny Games is my favorite.
Re: genre: basically anything where the wheel of fortuna spins ever downward until the protaganist spins madly, circling the drain of life, and is finally and inevitably sucked down into the void.
Television
Love Louis Black, Colbert. John Stewart doesn't have enough bite for me but often makes large round-eyed facial expressions.
Hollywood babylon with Tony Curtis. Please will some genius rerun this epic series.
SCTV.
Books
Cooking with Fernet Branca. Many others.
Re: genre: see answer in Movies section.
CRANKY CORNISH REX, residing in Brooklyn, NY.
WORK HISTORY:
Family legend has it that my maternal grandmother was half bat. I was originally chosen to play Vampira the glamour ghoul, but they decided that my udders were too distracting to the male viewers. Ultimately they cast some plain woman.
TURN-ONS:
Food. Tab Hunter.
Also, I like a Jake Gyllenhaal, Elijah Wood, Tobey Maguire, or similar ocularly-endowed types. And a cocktail or three in the evening.

This is an excerpt from the feature length film "Die Son! Die!" by Miles Perhower in association with elementary productions, starring the glorious Miss Halliwell. It is a concept concert album.. a film and an album.. it is a concert and a drama.. it is real life and fabrication. It is about the stalker and the stalked. It is the realisation of one man's madness. The music is blistering, the visuals engaging: it is the most watchable piece of art today. This is more than music and more than film. It is the post-modern Purple Rain. The Stourbridge Chronicle has already described it as "the most important milestone in cinematic history"; The New York Times' art correspondent said "If it was a hat, I would wear it"; Tony Wilson's ghost is reported to have whispered, "I wish I had thought of that". Entrepreneur and pop guru Alan Neilson wrote: "Isn't it great that Wispas are back." DIE SON! DIE! will be on general release at the end of August 2009. Best wishes from Miss H
