Jack Fate

I am a student at Baylor University, with a pre-law focus.  My areas of interest include everything from pop culture, music, post-modern fiction, comics, to history, philosophy, religion, and everything inbetween.  My favorite comic areas are: Superman, X-Men, Batman, Justice League, Punisher, and pretty much anything DC is putting out at this point.  My favorite comic creators are Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Jim Lee, Brad Meltzer, Kurt Busiek, Mark Millar, Jeph Loeb, Alex Ross.  Movies, I like everything from the typical action thriller to Mafia flicks (Goodfellas, Godfather, Scarface, Casino, etc) to (of course) Superhero movies (esp Superman Returns, Batman Begins, the Punisher, and X2) to odd theatrical movies (Highlander, David Lynch movies, Scorcese, Michael Mann, Coen Brothers stuff, Brian DePalma, and a bunch others).  My favorite non-comic book authors are Bret Easton Ellis (the man is a god), Jay McInerey, and Chuck Palaniuk. I'm definitely a director's viewer, i.e. I look for style points as much as at the actors.  I will go as far as to say that I'm a expert on music, comics and the cinema and a pretty good darn critic, but who knows.  I'm also intrigued with human rights issues, particularly the gay debate and why the Right Wing just doesn't seem to get it.  Blog suggestions and comments are always welcome.
