Feet on the ground, head in the stars is always nice. I'm a sarcom (sarcastic romantic), which is like a sitcom - commercials + laughs. I'm a critic's darling with a limited promotional budget but word-of-mouth is building.
In general my tastes run prrretty indie- sufjan stevens, andrew bird, shins, josh rouse, bloc party, radiohead, jeff buckley, damien rice, goldfrapp, smog, clap your hands say yeah, the editors, iron+wine, arcade fire, teitur, sunny day real estate, mason jennings, mirah, french kicks, kings of leon, the twilight singers, daniel johnston, ray lamontagne, death cab, joseph arthur, edie carey, and christopher dallman... i basically love everything you'd find on a break-up mix, though mostly i just leave my pod on shuffle, hoping beyond hope that it won't randomly select indigo girls, toad the wet sprocket or that switchfoot song when I'm in the presence of others. I also love to dance my hair into a wet mop to hip-hop... and eighties.
They have to be REALLY good (fincher, coen, kaufman, wilder, anderson) or REALLY bad (butterfly effect, crossroads). i heart huckabees for its attempt to bring a metaphysical dialogue to a wide audience, which is a nutshell goal of mine. I also like masterpieces of nostalgia like The Last Starfighter, The Legend of Billie Jean and Space Camp. Outside of a nutshell, there are a great many things I want to do in this life, and a fair portion of them have to do with movies.
I AM the biggest loser. As a writer I'm absolutely appalled by the reality trend. As a devotee of the human condition as revealed through basic cable I am TRANSFIXED.
Yes.
