I love film with a passion. It allows me to see the world through other's eyes and bear witness to thoughts otherwise absent. I cherish it dearly. Lately I haven't been consuming much film from my house due to my lacking a nice system on which to view them. Basically I don't have anything at all to watch them because I can't get my DVD player to work with my TV. I still go to the movies alot, and as with my musical interests, there is a time and place for everything. Sometimes it's just nice to lose yerself in something mindless. Just to rattle a few for those that may be hemming and hawwing at my benign answer: The Thin Red Line (NOT A WAR FILM...A POETIC and HUMAN FILM! And the best fucking film ever to grace the screen), Apocalypse Now (so powerful), Interview with the Vampire (I so want to be one), Snatch, Res Dawgs, Fiction that's Pulpy, Kill Billy I & II, House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, 12 Monkeys, Cockwork Orange, 28 Days Later, Easy Rider, Raging Bull, The Lord of The Rigs series, Band of Brothers series, Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, 16 Candles, Breakfast Club, Ace Ventura, Anchorman, Old Skool, Garden State, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Magnolia, American Beauty, Love Honor and Obey, Lock Stock, Snatch, Almost Famous, The Doors, The Secret of Nyhm, Sponge Bob the Movie, Madagascar, Clerks, High Fidelity, Grosse Point Blank, Enemy at the Gate, 24 Hr Party People, Tigerland, --Ahhhh fergedit. This is ridiculous. I can't list em. We'll talk later.
History Channel...that's it. Learn...or DIE in ignorance! And Adult Swim. Although I just watched 2 episodes of Scrubs for the first time last night. Pretty good. .. width="425" height="350" ..
