    Tal's Interests
GeneralI just love to be entertained. Music, movies, parties, people, whatever makes me laugh and smile is what I usually gravitate toward.
MusicAll across the board, but mostly:
KORN,
Nails,
Black Light Burns,
Angels and Airwaves
Ill Nino,
CHEVELLE (!!!!),
Fort Minor,
Kanye,
Muse,
My Chemical Romance (!)
System,
Fiona (love that voice),
Manson,
Blink,
Linkin Park,
Boxcar Racer
Massive Attack,
Rage,
Rob Dougan,
Slipknot,
Nelly Furtado,
Staind,
Puscifer,
Disturbed
old Outkast,
some Eminem,
good Weezer,
James Horner and Hans Zimmer movie scores,
and blah blah blah....
MoviesI love movies. LOVE them. But since I'm still young many of my faves don't date back that far:

TRUE ROMANCE (favorite movie ever),
MY COUSIN VINNY (favorite comedy ever),
DIE HARD (favorite action movie ever)
8MILE,
GOOD WILL HUNTING (great dialogue),
DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004),
THE CROW,
ETERNAL SUNSHINE,
TOMBSTONE (most qoutable movie ever),
THE ROCK,
CHINATOWN,
BAD SANTA (kills me),
MEMENTO (genius),
THE SIXTH SENSE,
the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy,
THE GOONIES,
THE SANDLOT,
JERRY MAGUIRE,
SIN CITY,
RESEVIOR DOGS,
KILL BILL,
THE INCREDIBLES,
THE WARRIORS,
SOUTH PARK THE MOVIE,
THE LAST DRAGON (Bruce Leroy!)
NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION (!!)
OUT OF SIGHT (!!!)
FIGHT CLUB (!!!!),
SEVEN,
X2,
PANIC ROOM,
THE DEPARTED,
THE PRESTIGE
THE LOST BOYS,
AMERICAN BEAUTY,
BRAVEHEART (perfect),
BATMAN BEGINS,
HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE,
THE MATRIX,
WEDDING CRASHERS,
AIRPLANE,
NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE,
DEVIL'S ADVOCATE.
GROUNDHOG DAY,
STAND BY ME,
THE BOURNE TRILOGY,
JAWS,

Also, I'm a HUGE James Cameron fan so I have no bones about saying that TITANIC is also one of my favorites films. That, along with his ALIENS, T2, and TRUE LIES.

And I also have a weak affinity for bad horror movies. The dumber the better. Don't know why, but movies like HOUSE OF THE DEAD, FINAL DESTINATION 2, and LEPRECAUN IN THE HOOD are some of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

TelevisionI don't normally get to watch too much TV (which is a good thing), but the TV I do watch I watch religiously:

24
(love it despite numerous plot holes)

LOST
(getting really annoyed, but I've already invested this much)

HEROES
actually makes me hate Lost it's so good and exciting

THE SOPRANOS
need I even comment on how great this show is

FRIENDS
(own damn near entire series. Only show I can watch over and over and laugh at the same jokes as if I had never seen it before)

NIP/TUCK
(but I only catch the DVDs so I'm a season behind)

ENTOURAGE
(fell in love instantly; great show)

BUFFY and ANGEL
fun and engaging. Love Xander and Anya; hated their break-up

I LOVE and miss FUTURAMA

enjoy FAMILY GUY sometimes.

BooksYeah they're good too. Oh, and anything by Brian. K Vaughan.

About me:
I draw and write for a living, live in LA, and am completely addicted to film. So much so that I'm always referencing some movie or whatnot in any conversation I have (or at least this is what I'm told). I don't know. I'm half black, half Korean, half Gemini, half Cancer. Born on a cusp an hour and 19 minutes into Cancer just a bit past Gemini. And now to sum me up in one long disconjointed (updated) rant:

I'm the Itallian food, sushi, Dallas Cowboys, football watching, mp3 addicted, iPod, Korn, NIN, movie scores, Texas Hold'em, Marisa Tomei (!), Scarlett Johannson (!!), fast driving, cookies and cream, rollercoasters, live music, house parties, drunken comedy, laughing, always joking, clean socks, boxer briefs, never finished a novel, DVD, dogs, cats, whatever, change, rainy days, thunder/lightning, silver, admirer of all things beautiful, level headed, blue, James Cameron, Chandler, Nip/Tuck, midori sour, bike riding cinephile type who..... (catches breath)

...dislikes Mexican food, fast food, the Patriots, baseball watching, bad mp3s, CDs, repetitve hip-hop, country, Katie Holmes, Halle Berry, slow drivers, orange sherbert, spining tea cup rides, needless drama, yelling, seriousness, wearing the same socks twice, briefs, tabloids, gossip, bootlegs, fish (eating it), ABNORMALLY huge insects, traditions, hot days, fog, gold, despiser of all things plain, arrogance, red, Joel Shumacher, Marisa, Smallville, whiskey, malt liquors, power walking, and reality TV......and I can't swim (I'm from Tennessee, swimming wasn't a necessity for survival.

He will always be with you Talent. Remember that. As long as you keep him in your mind and in your heart you will never lose him. I never got to meet him but I know he was a good man. You will be ok. The pain never goes away but you will learn to live with it. Make him proud and continue to do what you and he loved. He will always be with you.

With my deepest respect,
-Alain
