    Randy Stradley's Interests
GeneralI'm interested in Japanese swords, bigfoot, sasquatch, cryptozoology, kit-bashing, archery hunting, Games Workshop models, collecting way, way too many Godzilla figures (and yet, strangely, never having enough), writing fiction, the way comics work, and why otherwise grown-up human beings become such geeks when they get around Star Wars.
MusicI read where Stephen King said that "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love, and Understanding?" was one of the top three greatest rock 'n roll songs of all time. Not too bad -- he was only off by two.
MoviesMovies I can watch over and over: the original King Kong, Zulu, Yojimbo, Sam Raimi's The Quick and the Dead, Lake Placid, Day the Earth Stood Still, The Road Warrior, Rear Window, Destroy All Monsters, Red Sun, Tremors, Master and Commander, the entire Thin Man series…
Televisionis your one true friend.
BooksCurrently reading Patrick O'brian's Aubrey/Marutin series. Wonderfully realized, obviously heavily researched. I may need to purchase "The Sailor's Lexicon" soon.
Some of my other favorite authors are Stephen Hunter, H. P. Lovecraft, Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, J. R. R. Tolkien, Ivan T. Sanderson, and Bertrand R. Brinley. Quite a mix, eh?
Heroesis a show I stopped watching after the second episode.

   Randy Stradley's Blurbs
About me:
I'm a fifty-something comics editor/writer with a soft spot for struggling writers and artists (provided they actually are striving, and not just whining), would-be superheroes, and strippers.

One thing you should know about me: I'm not a "friend" whore -- I don't care about upping my friend tally. So don't bother "friending" me if your only objective is to promote your band, or your comic, or your book, or whatever. There should be some common ground between us -- an area of shared interest and/or respect. Barring that, you could try appealing to my prurient interests.

And if you're one of those people who think it's a good idea to post four or five bulletins in a single day, know that I will delete you from my friends list as soon as I become aware of it. Just sayin'.

Also, Dave Land says that us old guys are ruining myspace for everybody else just by being here, so that's a bonus.

Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet other comics professionals, aspiring writers and artists, comics fans, fans of Star Wars comics, Godzilla fans, swordsmiths, and women with whom I'd never have a chance.
