A darker shade of black
Profile Information
- Favourite Books
- Anything written by the following people: Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, Ian MacDonald, Alistair Reynolds, Robert Silverberg, Umberto Ecco, Brian L. Porter, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Philip Jose Farmer, okay this list could go on forever... I like things that are dark and thought provoking...
- Favourite Movies
- Ultraviolet, 300, Matrix Trilogy, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I-Robot, Next, Minority Report, Blade Runner, Total Recall, Terminator, Good will hunting, again it could go on forever... I don't mind purely action films... I tend to read more books since I don't watch TV often. Books are usually better than the films anyway (except possibly in the case of the Lord of the Rings).
