I'm a self-proclaimed movie buff, kind of like a Gene Siskel minus the brain aneurysm.
This video is amazing. Artist Bill Shannon was born with a congenital hip defect but somehow manages to skateboard, dance and strike crazy freeze-frame poses. All with crutches. It's too bad the RJD2 song that goes with it sucks.
Bands of the moment: RJD2, LCD Soundsystem, the Rapture Daedelus, Prefuse 73, The Strokes, DJ Shadow, MF Doom, Radiohead, Huey Lewis and the Nuge, Ratatat, Junior Boys, Girl Talk, Art Brut, the Avalanches, Kanye, David Bowie, Joy Division, New Order, Boards of Canada, Royksopp, Bjork, Fourtet, the Notwist, Joy Division, Interpol, Beirut, Beastie Boys, the Go Team!, Edan, Yann Tiersen, Frank Zappa, Gorillaz, Aphex Twin, El-P, Of Montreal, the Knife, Talking Heads.
I really like Japanese and Korean shock cinema like Ichi the Killer, Battle Royale, The Great Yokai War, Old Boy, any other Takashi Miike film. American Psycho is amazing, and so is anything by Kubrick. Love all Jean-Pierre Jeunet films (Amelie, City of Lost Children, Delicatessen). Coen Brothers films (Raising Arizona, Big Lebowski, Hudsucker Proxy) are the shit. Big Fan of B-movies: Dead Alive, Evil Dead Trilogè. Anything by John Carpenter, particularly Big Trouble in Little China. And David Lynch movies...some bizarre shtuff.
While the American version of the Office doesn't match the British version, Steve Carrell is still hillarious. I'm crossing my toes (home & roastbeef) that Arrested Development gets picked up by Showtime. It really cracks me up that intelligent shows don't last on television, it just shows how retarded the US is.
Anything with Fabio on the cover. If you can get it in your neighborhood supermarket, it's my kind of novel.
I owe everything to the man upstairs, Chris Penn this one's for you!
