Luis Bunuel, because I usually feel as if I'm in a surreal dream-like state, and I can't ever attain whatever my goal may be at the moment - he'd also bring out all the hypocrisy that I have to put up with, along with all my kinky fetishes.

A great director, very much on my mind, of recent times.

That test was horseshit. I spent five minutes of my life answering all of those questions, and I get no result without giving them my email address. Fuckers.

the online one gave me David Lynch. that sounds about right. I'd still rather have someone like Bergman (or perhaps John Huston)

Cameron Crowe, so I would end up with a cute,quirky, girl in the end!

Kevin Smith would be more appropriate though. Where do you take that test everyone speaks of BTW?

I would pick Jackie Chan for about up to age 20-23 because I was always doing some crazy shit. Jumping off 15 foot buildings into trees and generally climbing all over shit. My knees are fucked up for a reason, three broken feet (not at the same time, duh), been shot in the face with a bb, severed right pinky distal flexor tendon (I diagnosed it to the Dr. and he was perturbed with me ), rolled a VW bug at eighty mph up onto some guy’s lawn (3 feet from his house, he was pissed!) while not wearing a seatbelt suffering a mild bump to the side of my head, fell off my bike in the middle of the night onto my head and was called in dead by a motorist (woke up in the hospital, later slept for two days straight) and all sorts of mayhem. I should be dead having been such a stupid idiot and I feel like shit having put my suffering Moms though those scary times. I don’t know anybody that has been luckier than I was during those hectic, self destructive times.

After that It would be Gus Van Sant up to about 25-27 because he proved how realistic he could be about the subject of drug use and abuse.

After that (for about three years) Anyone that can do a decent love story (…or a decent porno, they were very good years.)

Then Mike Figgis because he made me understand Nic Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. Been like that and with no abrupt transition. Maybe Figgis would agree to work with Wes Anderson as I move toward redemption and then Anderson could take over and move toward that melancholy solution / acceptance of who I am.

Then, in the near future, I really hope it would be Terry Zwiggoff because I want to write and draw comics and do other illustration / design and actually (and get this) make a living at it. If he signed on that means I made it.

The end would be Stuart Gordon because he’s come the closest to getting it right with From Beyond. (Herve Villechaize told me in a dream.)

I took that test and got Woody Allen. Seems fitting.

For choice I would go with Werner Herzog.

So this is actually about a test and not what you think? And a test, as I'm led to believe, that asks for your email address? You people know you're being trolled for marketing lists, Right???

The main reason I never give my email to websites of the sort...just in case. Which is why I was pissed that I answered 30 questions, then a few "are you male or female" type questions...only to have to abandon the whole thing when it asked for my email address. Grr.
