La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful) is my favorite movie, I've got a quote from LIFE (Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence) tattooed on my arm and I wish I had a copy of the video from our trip to tahoe 2k3.
Directors/ Screenwriters Spike Jonze, Wes Anderson, Stephen Spielberg, Michael Gondry, Cohen Brothers, Roberto Benigni, Charlie Kaufman, Darren Aronofsky, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Chris Cunningham, Alfonso CuarÛn, Jim Jarmusch and many more.I also love NETFLIX. Love like a man has for a DVD rental service.
My cable is stolen and fuzzy. My local channels are even worse. I watch a lot of Comedy Central and a few of FOX's animated shows. FLCL is a good one, as well as many of the Adult Swim lineup.
Back in 2003, my friend called me while I was in Lake Tahoe during the week of Christmas and informed me that they had caught Sadahm Hussein, he then went on to tell me that Sadahm's favorite book was the same as mine. That said, Ernest Hemingway once wrote a confusing, yet oddly amusing and erotic tale of a man and his struggle for self gratification, he called this book Old man and the sea. To the unlearned person, this was no literary movement, it was a giant piece of wtf?...Hunter S Thompson was more than most people think, more than just a drug-crazed man. His writing spoke out against the criminal injustice, and spoke for the common person.Animal Farm by George Orwell has always been a good read, I need to look into his other works, I hear 1984 is an eye opener.Miranda July has newly become a favorite author of mine. Her stories are so well written, I can't help but enjoy them.I haven't been an adimate fan of reading books, but great writers such as these, I largely respect.
Hitoshi Matsumoto.Seriously, I'm not sure if I have true to life heroes, but I do respect a lot of people.
