My favorite music: |
|
REM |

|

My favorite movies: |
|
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas |
| comments: As close an approximation to tripping as one can manage with a MOVIE. The amount of drugs these two men consumed (even fictionally) is staggering. |
|
The Prisoner |
| comments: Granted, it's a British TV show, not a film. It's also goddamn brilliant, and worth ten years of analysis. |
|
Pulse |
| comments: Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Pulse" was eerie and terrifying not in its gore or shock value, but through its argument that the only time we're not alone is after death. |
|
Tampopo |
| comments: Itami Juzo's critique of Japanese society, as seen through their eating habits. Wonderful with a date and a meal you cooked together. |
|
Lucía y el sexo |
| comments: labyrinthe, sexy, and beautiful. not only did this movie remind me that I understand Castilian Spanish, I now have a island in Spain I have to visit. |
My favorite authors: |
|
Haruki Murakami |
| comments: metaphysical romances a la Chandler...I saw him speak and he told a story about a giant frog. Gotta love that. |
|
Ray Bradbury |
| comments: met him in Atlanta in 1999. even in his 80s, he's wise beyond his years and possessing a heart the world's not ready for. |
|
Jeff Noon |
| comments: a recent discovery, Noon blends maths, sciences, dancing, love, and sex in a silicon soup, and thus far, his work's unforgettable. |
|
Elizabeth Swados |
| comments: the playwright behind "Runaways" (a musical) is reminding me, in one novel, "The Myth Man," all that I love about theater. |
|
Rupert Thomson |
| comments: 'Soft' was a brilliant indictment of advertising and corporate mercenary mentalities. Read. |
