You know as much as I love Spaceballs, I love History of the World Part 1 better. I don't know, that's a Mel Brooks movie that gets no respect. That's the Ethiopian Shim-Sham, Servo |

I htink Spaceballs could be edited down to a really good 20 or 30 minute short. As a feature it was a bit stretched.

I'm a HUGE fan of flicks from Mexico and Japan. Hell, they don't even have to be dubbed into English or Sub-titled, They all follow the same formula.
Also, ANYTHING made in the 30's and 40's from Hollywood. Those were ecellent flicks.

I like to read most types of fiction, especially detective stories and horror stores. Right now, for a change of pace, I'm reading Seabiscuit (great movie, BTW).
I also like listening to heavy metal. I'm a fan of Iron Maiden, (old) Metallica, Slayer, Ozzy, Alice In Chains, Dream Theater and Anthrax, to name just a few.
I also enjoy a lot of different TV shows, such as Whose Line Is It Anyway? (another victim of cancellation), South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy, Law & Order, Law & Order SVU, and Everybody Loves Raymond.

Looks like we all have fairly similar tastes in television! During the week I tend to spend most of my free time after work at the gym. I've always loved working out. Sometimes I wonder why Habit I guess. I also have a miniature Dachshund who loves to wrestle. He's a lot of fun. Other than that, I just bought my first home so my weekends are spent on some sort of project. I feel like I could walk though Lowes blindfolded! |

Lets see, maintaining my house and yard is my unfun hobby and absorbs most weekends at home. Other than that I play a great highland bagpipe on occasion, Collect Sideshow Collectible WWI figures, have a vast knowledge of Tiki decorations and drink recipies (you should see my back porch!)and, oh yeah, my wife and I own a functioning black powder 3lb cannon on a field carriage. (We are RevWar reenactors) I am trying to get back into building model airplanes, but can't seem to find the time.

Other interests? Hmmm... Music. I love music. Goth, darkwave, old punk, industrial, 80's indie rock... Wonderful. I also sing and fart around playing music myself. Plus I go clubbing pretty much every weekend. I love to read, and I read pretty much anything I can get my hands on. Biology, genetics, political science, sociology. I also read a lot of horror fiction, and I write it as well (my first short story collection is available at www.cafeshops.com/boneorchard)! I do some artwork, illustration, whatever. I'm a graphic designer by trade, and I do some of that at home too. I love British culture and films, especially Mike Leigh and Ken Loach flicks. I love Eddie Izzard (British actor/comedian/transvestite) with a passion. Plus I collect Halloween toys.  |

I'm a huge fan of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?". I've got all but three episodes of the ABC show on tape, and about 40 or 50 of the British episodes from Comedy Central.
I also love 'The Simpsons', 'King Of The Hill', and 'Friends' (I know you'll cringe when I say that).
I also like a lot of older TV shows, like 'The Carol Burnett Show', 'I Love Lucy', 'All In The Family', and Red Skelton stuff.
I like Hitchcock, John Wayne, Walter Mattheau and Jack Lemmon, and anything with Jack Nicholson (except maybe 'Terms Of Endearment'). I don't like most modern movies.

Wow I feel so at home! Everyone Looks at me funny when I say that I like some of these things! maybe it's just because I live in stupid SD,  I forgot to Mention Wierd Al, he's inspired me to make paradies ect.... I haven't made many, but when I do they are quite funny, (I'm being rather immodest aren't I?) Oh and History of The World part 1 was one of the greatest Movies ever made! i heard he was gonna make a part 2 but part one astually lost money (I don't know why) so he couldn't do the next one. I think he's remaking the producers, that should be fun "springtime for Hitler in Germany! Winter for Poland and France!!" |
