MOST EVERYTHING. EMPHASIS ON ROOTS & BLUES. I LIKE A GOOD BASELINE (ESPECIALLY IF I'M DANCING). I LIKE SAD MUSIC; NOT ANGRY MUSIC. GRRRL MUSIC OR FUNK ARE MY FALL-BACK CHOICES.
SOOOO HARD TO CHOOSE... LABYRINTH, DARK CRYSTAL, JUNO, ICE STORM, AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE, BEST IN SHOW, BUFFALO '66, COLD COMFORT FARM, TRAINSPOTTING, GEORGIA, DEATH & THE MAIDEN, BIG FISH, DOOR IN THE FLOOR, FOUR ROOMS, FARGO, ANNIVERSARY PARTY, THE END OF THE AFFAIR, FAR FROM HEAVEN, THE SHIPPING NEWS, BIG LEBOWSKI, MAGNOLIA, PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE. (CAN YOU SAY PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON & THE COEN BROTHERS)? USUALLY INDEPENDENT FILMS. I LOVE ADAPTED PLAYS; NOT USUALLY MUSICALS (EXCEPTIONS ARE MOULIN ROUGE & CHICAGO). ANYTHING WITH JULIANNE MOORE, ALAN CUMMING, CATE BLANCHETT, OR SCARLETT JOHANSSON. I EVEN LIKE PERIOD PIECES & SHAKESPEARE ADAPTATIONS (ROOM WITH A VIEW, EMMA, TWELFTH NIGHT). GUILTY PLEASURES INCLUDE CITY SLICKERS, CLUE, & HAPPY TEXAS. I COULD GO ON & ON HERE. VISUAL FAVORITE MIGHT BE THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE, & HER LOVER. AND ON, AND ON.
MOST RECENT ADDITION IS LIFE. GUILTY PLEASURE: 24, WEEDS, L-WORD (SOMEWHAT PREDICTABLE SHOW WITH A GREAT FEMALE DIRECTOR), MAN VS WILD. PHILOSOPHY & HUMOR (ALWAYS GO HAND IN HAND): ICONOCLASTS, STRANGERS WITH CANDY,AB FAB (SWEETIE DARLING), DAILY SHOW, MY NAME IS EARL, THE OFFICE, GILMORE GIRLS, BOSTON LEGAL, MEDIUM. SCIENCE GEEK FACTOR: C.S.I., COLD CASE, HOUSE, MYTHBUSTERS. TOUGH GRRRL FACTOR: VERONICA MARS, FARSCAPE, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA...YES, I'M ALSO SHOWING MY SCI-FI GEEKINESS.
THIS IS JUST AS DIFFICULT AS FILM. I LOVE SO MANY: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, WIDOW FOR A YEAR, WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS, THE FINN-FAMILY MOOMINTROLL SERIES. ANYTHING BY ALI SMITH, ANNIE PROULX, PATRICIA CORNWELL, ELLEN HART, CHARLAINE HARRIS, MAYA ANGELOU, JEANETTE WINTERSON, CARSON MCCULLERS, F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, ALICE WALKER, TONI MORRISON, JANET FRAME, W.H. AUDEN, e.e. cummings, GERTRUDE STEIN... I LEAN TOWARD CHARACTER STUDIES & MYSTERIES. NOT REALLY INTO HISTORICAL FICTION OR SCI-FI (EXCEPT WHERE IT OVERLAPS WITH FANTASY). KINDA SICK OF NON-FICTION, BUT I'LL MAKE EXCEPTIONS. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
SEE THE I'D LIKE TO MEET CATEGORY: SUBTRACT SERIAL KILLERS (HITLER, ETC.) & ADD MLK, CORETTA SCOTT KING, MARTINA NAVRATILOVA, JESSE OWENS, MARIE CURIE, MOTHER TERESA, & EVERY COURAGEOUS SOUL THAT HAS EVER FOUGHT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE (FOR THE BETTER).
