Movies:
On my AppleTV:
I wrote out a whole list for here, but it didn't update, so was completely lost. Here are a few for now:
How To Get Ahead In Advertising
Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels
Control
Monty Python's Holy Grail
The Krays
Snatch
Stay
Raising Arizona
Television:
Lost, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel & IFC are my usuals, but I also enjoy the following from time to time:
Big Love; CSI Las Vegas; Charmed; Dexter; Da Ali G Show; Eureka; The L Word; Medium; Monk; Monty Python's Flying Circus; Nip/Tuck; Northern Exposure; Rome; Six Feet Under; The Shield; The Sopranos; Twilight Zone (the original, of course!); Weeds;
Books:
Have to write up this list later... but I'm definitely a prolific reader.
Some titles I'm reading now:
Jewish Literacy
Biblical Literacy
Don Quixote
Patent Pending in 24 Hours
Next, I'd like to read The Divine Comedy again...
Heroes:
My heroes aren't typical... I feel very little for the examples surrounding us these days.
Regular people that do extraordinary things, either under terrific circumstances or not, move me.
The Paris Hiltons of the world do not.
