|
Elvis Costello |
| comments: I was thinking that one important character clue is knowing WHOM exactly a person thinks of when you say "Elvis" - Costello, Presley or Stoiko? |
|
XTC |
| comments: Still obsessed with Weezer and now also Cake. Still waiting for Nickel album. Portishead, Cibo Matto, Rasputina, Nerf Herder. |
|
Steven Sondheim |
| comments: Sweeney Todd is my favorite musical, followed by Candide, followed by maybe Kismet or Carousel. |
|
The Smiths |
| comments: I still mourn for the Smiths. I've never liked solo Morrisey (his music, that is - not the man. ah!) quite as much. |
My favorite movies: |
|
Brazil |
| comments: Another fav is Das Boot. It gets a mention w/ Brazil because I first saw, and loved, both the same year. I began learning German because of Das Boot, and I rekindled my love of all things fantastic, dystopian and SF thanks to Brazil. |
|
Fanny and Alexander |
| comments: My No. 1 absolute favorite movie. I even have the original 6-hour TV version on tape (dubbed into German - I taped it off of German TV). |
|
Annie Hall |
| comments: It's hard to pick just one Woody Allen movie. Also: Radio Days, Bullets Over Broadway, Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters. Also: Shadows and Fog. (Haha! Just kidding.) |
|
Crumb |
| comments: My fav documentary, 1 of my fav movies, period. I remember looking at my brother's Cheap Trick album as a kid and being very, very disturbed. Mostly, I adore Charles. His elaborately stylized journal that devolves into chickenscratch. Amazing! |
|
Rosetta |
| comments: I just saw this movie again. I have to say it's a masterpiece: the camera work. Who cares about location? We, the camera, must stay right with Rosetta in her world of the bare minimum. Amazing and gripping. No music - not necessary. |
