Here are the people who have inspired me in 2009
1. Gilbert Gottfried
Unique, a true original. He really loves to be hated, he gets off on people not liking him, while moving forward doing what he wants. A great man
2. William Hurt: He always struck me as a dark motherfucker, I will watch anything he does except comic book movies, he is amazing and then the news broke that he used to beat that deaf actress he dated from children of a lesser god, and although thats awful it makes him more appealing because it confirms how dark he is, anyone who can make a movie with kevin costner and dane cook not only watchable but some what enjoyable has to have something going for him.
3. Stanley Kubrick: Brillant guy, amazing movies, but its the stories about who he was that are really interesting, like he was a chess prodigy who used to hustler adults in the park as a kid, to his hatred for actors and his plot to hire a married couple for his final film (eyes wide shut) with the sole purpose to detroy their marriage (which he did), obsessive love of his animals (leaving 15 pages of notes of how to care for his animals when gone), etc.
4. Christian X
Guy is honest and has a great view on life, he gets a lot of shit in his industry of choice and on the porn boards yet refuses to stoop down to that level (except for donny long) and is the anti eric when it comes to break ups, stand up fella
Honorable mention: Gypnod
