Oh, did I mention FILM or POLITICS or MUSIC?!
Someone who sees just how fallible I can be, AND how richly contributory I can become.
Add to my Page What I don't like: German Opera, Some classic Asian (dink-dink) music, and Gangsta Rap (WTF?!)
Directors, rather. Crowe, Lucas, Jones, Coppola(s), Kasdan, Jackson, Reitman, Scorsese, Reiner, Howard, Speilberg, Nunez, Singer, Luhrman, Hitchcock, Bergman, Kurasawa...to name JUST A FEW! For someone who consumes more films than there are kernels of popcorn on the theater floor...this is just too limiting. And do we include live concerts and music video here?!
What I am finding that I enjoy these days is writing that depicts more real exchange between men and women: House (Fox, Tue); Grey's Anatomy (ABC, Sun); Medium (NBC, Mon)AND NOW, WEEDS - because they are using surveillance to steal plotlines from my personal life. Must watch Daily Show/Colbert as antidotes to toxic mainstream journalism. Other than that, I was an original fan of SixFeetUnder/XFiles/Carnivale/TwinPeaks) After a couple of seasons of those series, I would get distracted. My attention span can be an issue. Lest we forget to mention it...I am a political NEWS junkie/critic/maven and prefer (lately) CNN's Cooper and CBS's Scheiffer (and their producers).
Robbins, Chomsky, Vidal, Moore, Franken (of late); Heinlein, Rice, Asimov, Tolkien, older Robbins (Tom), Vonnegut, Kesey, Marx, Neitze, Camus; poets...Khayyam, Byron, Keats, Dickinson, Dylan, Thomas, Gabriel, Johnson, miwa, Heinbuch...Currently Reading: Confessions of an Economic Hitman (Perkins); The End Of Poverty (Sachs) and The Ruins (Smith).
