Wes Anderson movies: Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums, The Life Aquatic; Montey Python: The Life of Brian (oh my!) etc...; Coen Brothers movies (The Big Lebowski is my favorite)- Fargo, God bless it!, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; and hell, I don't know, movies in that vein, The Last Picture Show; I like ridiculous movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, movies like Dazed and Confused... also Swingers, Made. Stranger than Fiction. A Christmas Story may be my favorite movie ever. Classic movies like East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, Key Largo, Casablanca, The Great Escape, Arsenic and Old Lace (I watch a lot of Turner Classic Movies). The Marx Brothers! I love them. And Charlie Chaplin! My recomendation for a movie you might not have seen but ought to check out: Kicking and Screaming (not the Will Farrell movie, but the indie Noah Baumbach written and directed, finally out on dvd). I own a few good movies, but can't think of them.
The Office, Earl, Arrested Development, News Radio, 3rd Rock From the Sun, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I don't know, Seinfeld, I guess, and definitely M*A*S*H (I was raised on that show). Kids in the Hall, Strangers with Candy. There are many more, but who cares? I like House, if that matters, and I used to watch 90210 religiously. Oh yes, and (how could I forget?) The Daily Show, The Colbert Report. Go read a book!
Jeepers, I'm a Kerouac addict. I admire him most as a writer. Also Hunter S. Thompson. I love him. He was a model journalist, plus he's a role model for the kids! Bukowski! Burroughs. And sure, I like Hemmingway for some reason, and Fitzgerald (he's a Minnesota boy like me) and Jon Krakauer's books on climbing and weirdodom, and throw in Ken Kesey...oh gosh, and f'ing Emmerson. I love Emmerson. I'm also sort of a biblical scholar (no one else I know would attach that title to me, you should know) as I was a religion major in college as well as English. Hell, I find great enjoyment in reading weird old religious texts and basically anything dismantling popular myths about Christianity (I'm not against my religion -- I've just learned that it's much more difficult to understand than I was originally taught). Also really into Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturn - A Tek Jansen Adventure. Give it a read. Either way, godbless and be done with it.Also, Poetry: T.S. Eliot E.A. Robinson Robert Frost Dylan Thomas Walt Whitman more...
