What
can I say - I love music and watching movies. So here goes, a discussion of
all things musical and movie-like.
Music.
Basically
I dig on electronic music. I have listed below a
lot (of course not all!) of the stuff I'm into.
Techno rocks - its structured, flexible and
intelligent. It can also be chill or
driving.
Did
I say techno rules? I dig on all of it : Ben
Sims,
Marco Bailey, Glenn
Wilson, Inigo
Kennedy, Speedy
J and so on. Let's not forget Richie
Hawtin, Jeff
Mills and of course Dave
Clarke.
Don't
mind a bit of dirty drum and bass either. Grooverider,
Roni Size, Ed
Rush, Photek, LTJ Bukem
and Adam F.
Can
also get into a bit of east coast hip hop.

Wu Tang Clan, Mobb
Deep, De La Soul and Gangstarr.
Absolutely HATE west coast. Awful music, awful
gangsta lyrics and generally awful
production.
As an aside, I don't mind a bit
of jazz. Bill
Evans, Herbie
Hancock,
Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson,
George
Gershwin.
Generally
I'll listen to anything, other times I'll leave
the room. People who know me, know when and where.
Movies.
I don't have a preference for a particular type of
movie - I can enjoy whatever is it. But nothing pisses me off more than a badly
acted or scripted movie. Steven Segal and Wesley
Snipes for example absolutely SUCK. Anyway, enough
moaning.
If
you are interested in specifics about particular movies, try here.
And here come my favourites, in no particular order:
Scarface. For the story, the acting and
directing, the realism, the power...need I go on?
The Matrix. A sci-fi thriller like no other.
A mass market Star Trek that is brilliant in every way.
Pulp Fiction. A fan of director Quentin
Tarantino generally, I feel that this picture is so unusual yet so canny that it
comes together perfectly.
Terminator 2. Much better than the first,
simply because the story, the effects and magnificent acting performances make it
a classic. The third will, once again, be shithouse.
Casino. Pescè and
De-Niro in one room? Once
again, unbeatable.
The
Austin Powers Series - from one through three.
Pissers!
Toy
Story 1 and 2 - easily the best and most heart
warming animated movies. Great.
Plenty
more I guess, these are the ones that came to mind
in 30 seconds of brainstorming. Hope you
like the Scarface wallpaper on this page!
