My three favorite movies of all are Rumblefish, The Virgin Suicides, and Lost in Translation.(you gotta love those Coppolas!) As far as movies go- I generally honor and study directors. Harmony Korine, John Lurie, Jim Jarmush, The Cohen Brothers, Christopher Guest, Spike Lee, Werner Herzog,Rob Zombie, and John Waters are some more great directors that come to mind. Any and all of their movies/films are excellent in their own right. Other great movies that come to mind are Trees Lounge, The Rivers Edge, Corndog Man, and Burnt by the Sun. The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill deserves honorable mention as a wonderful documentary. Old movies I like: To Kill a Mockingbird, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, The Bad Seed, and of couse ALL of Tennessee Williams plays/ movies;of which there are many.
The Office! (You go, Dwight!) Pretty much anything on the IFC channel. Henry Rollins has a great show on that channel,btw.ATWT and GL (soaps) Keith Olbermanns Countdown on MSNBC. Anderson Cooper 360, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Current TV, and the Dateline perverts; thats about all the television I can handle...
Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Anne Rice and Steven King are my favorite authors. Charles Bukowski is really cool. Anais Nin when you want to read some sexy/crazy stuff.A Moveable Feast by Hemingway is one of my favorite books. I subscribe to Interview magazine-created by my man Andy Warhol- and Jane magazine also. I also like almanacs of all kinds. They are a great source of old wives tales and whatnot...
Tennessee Williams is my true hero in every sense of the word. His stories touch me so deeply. . Andy Warhol is a hero to me because he introduced to me art, culture, fashion, fame, individuality,and let the world know it was okay, even cool to be a freak. Bob Marley. Neil Young for helping out the family farmers of America. Harry Connick Jr. for all the hard work he did during the aftermath of Katrina. When he carried that poor man in his arms,put him down and then gave him the shirt off his OWN back, I said "Now theres a REAL man..."My mother for letting me be my own person,and for all of her bravery and dignity. The laid- back, friendly, good, kind, caring, beautiful, diverse, excellent, relaxed people of Austin Texas-(And the few and far between who live here in Waco) in other words, "We the Freaks".....we indeed!
