Jonny™'s Interests
General
In addition to writing films, editing and filming I do enjoy erm...well the usual I guess, going to the cinema, hanging out with my friends, listening to music, going to gigs, the occasional video game, co writing hit songs with my band mates from The Spermicides, I like to sleep occasionally too.
Music
Here's what I been wrapping my ears around in the recent past:
This list could go on for an age so I'll narrow it down: Foo Fighters, Elliott Smith, Beck, We Are Scientists, Kasabian, Scissors For Lefty, Baby Bird, Buck 65, Mogwai, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, Bonobo, Fink, Willy Mason, Johnny Cash, Kings Of Leon, Ed 209, RJD2, Beastie Boys, Postal Service, Four Tet, Chilli Peppers, Bloc Party, Jon Kennedy, Low In The Sky, The Go! Team. And so so much more!
Movies
There's no way I can give you a fair list of favourite films, there's too many, so behold, a selection: Star Wars, Fight Club, A Scanner Darkly, Indiana Jones, Back To The Future, Amelie, The Matador, The Matrix, I Heart Huckabees, Shaun Of The Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, Evil Dead, Lost In Translation, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Anchorman,Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, The Last Samurai, Zatoichi, Seven Samurai, Fletch, Caddyshack, Kevin Smith's output, seriously if it's been filmed chances are I like it, except V for Vendetta and the Da Vinci Code, they were shit!
Television
Spaced, Scrubs, Firefly, The Simpsons, Chappelle's Show, Lost, 24, MTV2, Prison Break, My Name Is Earl

About me: My name's Jonny Clooney. I have a middle name, but people rarely know it.
I have a website called M4KINOV where supposedly you can track the progression of my video work, but presently I update it rarely.
I love a good steak.
I'm part of a skateboard/art collective called Xynthetic. Together we make short films, produce skateboard graphics and skate. I comprise the filming and editing element.
I wish I could, but I can't skate for shit.
I own a metric tonne of music, but have not yet had time to listen to it all.
I love movies, and as a result one wall in the house plays host to my DVD collection. The Frighteners and Forest Gump have yet to be unwrapped.
I have a blog called Bloginov. It's on hiatus until the new year while I clear the server of the past years ramblings. Feel free to check it out before it's gone.
I've written a movie called 'The Night Porter'.
It started out as a 15 minute short, it's now about 2 hours long.
Almost once a week I produce a Xynthetic Podcast with my brother from another mother, Gavin Strange.
I didn't used to drink alcohol. Then I decided 'screw it' and drank a fair bit for several months until recently. I now drink sparingly again.
I know it's expected, but I really don't like cold pizza, you wouldn't eat a roast dinner cold the next day!
I love all kinds of music. Except dance, it's shit. And Garage. And House. And Pop. You get the idea.
I keep meaning to start drawing again, but don't seem to have time.
I'm kinda shy, but act like a twat at times to counteract it.
I'm lacking in confidence, but act like a twat at times to counteract it.
If I say something to offend you, it's not because I'm a twat, but because like most males in my family, I lack mental checkpoints.
I like messing about with editing music. Making instrumentals out of existing tracks. They probably sound like crap, but that'll be for you to decide.
I once had a goldfish called He-Man.
Check out the Xynthetic Promo 'Don't' and be sure to add the Xyn to your circle of friends, you can catch the crew right here.
