Movies
Anything by Luc Besson (my favorite director) or anything that has Jackie Chan in it, cuz he no a use a strings like-a de other kung-fu fools. Sci-Fi is a respected genre' and I really dig the old 50's and 60's Sci-Fi. The Red Violin, The Life Aquatic,Apocalypto, The Secret, The Serpent & The Rainbow, Shaun Of The Dead, Anything with Gary Oldman in it..., Anything by John Hughs, Dog Town documentary, any documentary that informs me. Glory (it made me tear up, well, I was cutting onions). Anything by Majid Majidi(Iranian director) i.e...Children of Heaven, Baran, Color of Paradise. Michael Moore, Takashi Miike flicks.....Ichi The Killer is wicked!!! I just love horror flicks such as Saw, Salem's Lot, Jaws, Omen, etc..., only if I got a lil honey-dip beside me to hide my face in her shoulder and chest area when scarey parts come up***........................................................................................................................................
Point is, I love the arts, audio, visual, any media, I am fucking down with it.
Television
A few months before I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our
small Cincinnasty town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this
enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The
stranger was quickly accepted and was around to welcome me into the world
a few months later.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind,
he had a special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mom
taught me the word of God, and Dad taught me to obey it. But the stranger?
He was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with
adventures, mysteries and comedies. If I wanted to know anything about
politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past,
understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He
took my family to the first major league ball game. He made me laugh, and
he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to
mind. Sometimes Mom would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each
other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to her room and
read her books. (I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.)
Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger
never felt obligated to honor them. Profanity,for example, was not allowed
in our home... not from us,our friends or any visitors. Our long-time
visitor, however, got away with four-letter words that burned my ears and
made my dad squirm and my mother blush.
My Dad was a teetotaler who didn't permit alcohol in the home, not even for
cooking. But the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He
made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly and pipes distinguished. He talked
freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant,
sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing. I now know that my
early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the
stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was
seldom rebuked... and NEVER asked to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our
family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was
at first.
Still, if you were to walk into my parents' den today you would still
find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him
talk and watch him draw his pictures.
.........................................His name? .............................................................We just call him TV. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Note: Anything that Larry David touches!.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
TV guide, Rudyard Kipling's collection of jungle stories, Pump Up The Volume by Sean Bidder, Giant Steps, the autobiography of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, The Destruction of the West Indies by Bartolome' De Las Casas, The Complete Science Fiction Treasury of H.G.Wells(that bitch was hyoooj!), Different Seasons by S.King, The Golden Years of Science Fiction by Asimov, Every C.S.Lewis book ever made, The Bhagavad Gita is also swell.
