I'm like complicated and stuff.
..
Tivo advocacy, I can has Cheezburger? , bar trivia, NYC blogs, trash talking, straight thugging & drunk dancing.
Your mom.
In general: all things Brasil, house beats, Italian operas, post-punk dance pop, pretty sounding trip-hop,
and Mariah Carey!
Current Obsessions: Bill Evans, Pinback's Summer in Abandon album, Spankrock, the Rapture, and Bruch violin concertos.
War movies have hot guys. I want to direct one someday, so I can order all the hot guys around.
Also, I've been checking out tons of American classics on my favoritist channel ever, TCM.
By the way, if you like Hitchcock, you gotta check out Marnie!
Conan O'Brien is a perennial fave. Went to a Colbert Report taping and am more in L-U-V with him than ever!
Also the following: Deadwood, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, House, Mad Men, Cowboy Bebop, Flight of the Conchords, Friday Night Lights, Jacques Pepin, and of course Battlestar Galactica.
Current faves:
-Spanking the Donkey
(Matt Taibbi)
-The Exile: Sex, Drugs, and Libel in the New Russia
(Mark Ames & Matt Taibbi)
I've also been partial to the two gay/southern gentlemen: Tennessee Williams & Truman Capote.
Comic books are always welcome. =D
Mark Ames- because of so many things, and also for being mentioned in the following review of Garden State:
GARDEN STATE
What They Say: Returning home from a life of inertia for his mother's funeral, Zach Braff finds that inertia seems to follow his entire existence. Through a series of non-happenings, Braff discovers that all he really needed was a girlfriend. The end.
What We Say: It's a blog, with a film budget. The single worst thing that the Internet has done is to have given a voice to an entire group of people who should simply keep quiet. Makes one pine for the 15th century when literacy and the ability to express oneself was limited to about a dozen aristocrats. If you really want to send Mark Ames over the edge, mention this film. Made him want to stock up on box cutters, and redeem some air miles.
Best Bit: Listening to Ames go on about how this film singlehandedly justifies the war in Iraq because, as he says, it's the only thing that can kill off the generation of young American shitheads that Garden State glorifies.
