Keep smiling and touch my soul
Think of about it !
Who I'd like to meet:
A woman who can take control and dominate me, humiliate me and use me for her needs and desires. Women who are interested in wrestling, catfights, bondage, weightlifting, female bodybuilders and powerlifters.

If it's blues, I probably don't hate it.
Movies:
Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights" is my favorite movie. I think he's the most skilled director of his generation. Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, and Marc Forster all do interesting work too. Of the older generation, I like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola ("The Godfather" is probably the greatest film ever made; those of you who understand how that's different from it being my favorite movie are examples of the kind of people I want to hear from), John Cassavetes, and Robert Altman. My favorite actors include Marlon Brando (God rest his bizarre soul), Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Billy Bob Thornton, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman, Scarlet Johannsen, and Mary-Louise Parker. But I've got dozens of others.
Books
My favorite book is "Beach Music" by Pat Conroy. Serious readers bust my chops about it because it's so melodramatically romantic, but art is as often about big, sweeping emotions as it is about small ones, and Pat Conroy has a talent for imagery that is unparalleled among modern writers. I love all his other books too. I also like John Irving's work - my favorites of his switch between "The Hotel New Hampshire" and "A Prayer for Owen Meany". Augusten Burroughs, David Sedaris, Bill Bryson, James Ellroy, Philip Roth (especially "Portnoy's Complaint") - all terrific authors. Going back to classics, I've read most of Shakespeare's work and I love almost all of it ("Coriolanus" sucks). I'm starting on Dostoevsky now with "Crime and Punishment" because I've been told it's his most easily digestable book. I love every word Ernest Hemingway has written (he gives Conroy a run for his money in the "favorite author" department), and F. Scott Fitzgerald is also a favorite. I read a lot of plays. My favorite playwright is David Rabe, who wrote my favorite play, "Hurlyburly". I also like Edward Albee, who's the best playwright America has ever produced. Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, James Goldman - they all go on the list.
