| Favorite movies | Animation scholar and collector. Genre movie scholar, all kind of things... lord...there's just so much. I mainly watch things made prior to 1980. Lately enjoying my ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS box sets ... very high-quality shows. And I've been studying SAM PEKINPAH, and have gone through quite a lot of his work recently. Over the years, I'll wallow in a certain director for a bit and absorb a lot of their stuff: HITCHCOCK, KUBRICK, KURASAWA, FELLINI.... |

When you've got water stuck in your ear, how do you get it out?
Why get it out? I pour a lot more in until I'm full. Much more comfortable.
