Television-Movies Quizzes
myself ten years ago. Now I'll go about my day like, "Yeah, right, time travel is IMPOSSIBLE! That'd NEVER HAPPEN, especially to me...." and secretly be waiting for the time portal to open up in my room. That's kind of how it should go, right? Like in the movies?
Hem, Billie Holiday, Le Tigre, Magnetic Fields, Mazzy Star, Suzanne Vega, THE PIXIES, Frank Black and the Catholics, Neko Case, Po' Girl, The Be Good Tanyas, Belle and Sebastian (only sometimes now), Stereolab, that Modest Mouse album everyone likes, Cuban music, and oh so much more.... alright, here's a little more... Dengue Fever, Whiskeytown, Gillian Welch (and David Rawlings), I very much like the Wilco & Billy Bragg collaboration on Woody Guthrie songs called Mermaid Avenue, Elliot Smith, Feist, The Beach Boys, The Beta Band, Morrisey, Nick Drake (lately, Time of No Reply), Bonnie Tyler's song Total Eclipse of the Heart, Imani Coppola, DAVID BOWIE! OH you pretty things...And if you like him in Portuguese, watch The Life Aquatic with Seu Jorge.... Velvet Underground ("Satellite's gone, up to the sky. Things like that drive me out of my mind.") George Gershwin, especially in the summer...and Classic Queen, the tape from 1978. Oh and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Roger Miller because "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd, but you can be happy if you've a mind to!", Bob Dylan I suppose and the one Bonnie Raitt song "Angel from Montgomery" which makes me cry about halfway through every time.
Benny & Joon, The Life Aquatic, Party Girl, Nightmare Before Christmas, Charade, Roman Holiday, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, most Marx Brothers movies, The ORIGINAL Pink Panther movies with PETER SELLERS, Kill Bill 1 and 2 but especially Kill Bill 1, Amelie, and Legend of the Drunken Master the younger Jackie Chan version, Wallace and Gromit's The Curse of the WereRabbit (my son's favorite), To Have and Have Not, Charlie Chaplin The Mutual productions, Little Miss Sunshine, comfort movies are black & white or sad and beautiful foreign films preferably involving martial arts or kick ass fight scenes.
We have no TV. It's better this way. But I do download these shows- ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, WEEDS, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, HEROES, AND THE L WORD.

Cummings/ Most poetry by Guillame Apollinare/ Most of the plays of William Shakespeare, including: The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, and Hamlet/ Yes, I am a Harry Potter fan/ Of course I like fantasy stories such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (I can quote parts!)/ The Melancholy Death of Oysterboy and Other Stories by Tim Burton
George Washington Carver (if you don't know who he is you should, among many other things he invented peanut butter) and my brother Benny. All single moms, everywhere.
