Learning, sleeping, sticking my foot in my mouth.
Already met the people worth meeting. But if I had to choose, I'd say a monster made out of Dippin' Dots.
RIO, Jackmove, Vic Ruggiero, The Slackers, Hepcat, David Hilliyard and the Rock Steady Seven, Peter Tosh, Desmond Dekker, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, The Skatalites, The Valentines, Dennis Brown, Jimmy fuckin' Cliff, Bob Marley (every now and then), Family Tree, Steel Pulse, Devotchka, Sons and Daughters, so on and so forth.
I think Citizen Kane is overrated, so my opinion isn't "valid". But here are some great flicks that every one SHOULD see:
Children of Men, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Fountain, The Science of Sleep, Pan's Labyrinth, 21 Grams, Casino Royal (best bond -- ever), Fido, Amalie, The City of Lost Children, Dellicatessen, A Very Long Engagement, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, so on and so forth.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Kerouac, Stanislaw Lem, Umberto Eco, Phillip K. Dick, Dashiell Hammet, Raymond Chandler, Charles Bukowski, Bruce Campbell. As for Screenplays: give me something by Charlie Kauffman, Joel and Ethen Coen, Hampton Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, The Peoples, George A. Romero, Guillermo Del Toro and a few others.
