I'd like to meet:
Devoted and happily married, but like reading about people from around the world with similiar interests...those who cherish the roads they've been down and know how to fuck'n dress...RR in the bathroom on the Concorde...the colorful but not over the edge avant-garde (as well as Jack Fate one 'mo time)...like-minded people with a healthy knowledge of real esoteric music. Just the whole voyerism thing with myspace is interesting...sussing out who the tricksters are~

Movies:
This James Brown/Pavarotti is amazing~If you wanna become a vegetarian, go see Fast Food Nation, well done...The movie Stoned was a pleasant surprise, a bit of a rip-off of The Performance but totally got the feel of that era and the Counterfeit Stones did their homework...Kinky Boots was recherché...New York Dolls documentary was excellent...This one was way too violent, but the aesthetics of Nick Caves The Proposition won me over....Anthony Hopkins proves his brilliant acting capabilities once again in The Fastest Indian, Capote was written perfectly fascinating...Crash was "right on the money" example of the human condition and racism in America! Walk The Line was a well-done effort for mere mortals trying to impersonate such greatness. Rodney Bing's Mayor of Sunset Strip is so "rock vulnerablity" at it's best (sounds odd, but watch it and you'll see)....The pure genius of Sam Peckinpah's Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid...Tony Scott's Man on Fire was intriguing by way of using that hand crank camera hyper-realism effect and the characters were such opposites which I love. , Dig was a sad state of affairs. Napoleon Dynomite was very funny making painfully normal really hilarious. Ray and Aviator were directed and acted extremely well, but just weren't up to snuff for that amount of bucks...Some timeless oldies were Siesta (with Ellen Barkin, real sleeper), Henry Millers "Henry and June", based on his life in Paris, Brother Where Art Thou~brilliant soundtrack, Daddy and Them a tragically funny southern movie (adore Billy Bob), Slingblade, Monsters Ball, Adaptation, Chuck Berry's Hail, Hail RocknRoll, Vanishing Point from the seventies, Frida's female latin strength, the whole style and music of The Last Picture Show, the human condition element Of Mice and Men, What's Eating Gilbert Grape with Johnny Depp and Leonardo, the sweetness of Fried Green Tomatoes, the charm of Drivin' Miss Daisy, Friday, Faster Pussycat, Looking For Mr. Goodbar, The English Patient was another great surprise, the quirkiness of Nightmare Before Christmas, the compassion of One Flew Over the Cocos Nest, Lolita, Valley of the Dolls, Little Big Man, Midnight Cowboy, the desperation of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the intrigue of Winstone in Sexy Beast, Tender Mercies, Dr. Strangelove, the eroticism of Body Heat, the soft core Emanuelle flicks (when I was a teenager), the original '62 version of Cape Fear with the coolest of the cool Robert Mitchum, the realism of Raging Bull, the doom of Street Car Named Desire, My Man Godfrey, Robt.Duvall as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird, Pope of Greenwich Village, use to like Henry Millers' Naked Lunch, but it's too disturbing now...Cohen Bros got it down. I wished they'd do a biography on Peter Sellers and now I see HBO has done one, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, it was pretty good, quite shocking to see Sellers true colors. Bad Santa will make you bust a nut, Cold Mountain was lavish with the whole musical facet of the mountain music (Jack White in particular) making it a perfect movie...Dracula with Gary Oldman makes you tingle way down there.Craziest scene in a movie was with the badger in Salton Sea's and that guys nose~ Cripe.American Splendor was very good (based on a friend of Crumbs, who was a balanced combination of crazy and genius), Masked and Anynomous with Dylan, Lange, Goodman and more was artsy, but cool as fuck...in my book. Check out the unusual documentary "Capturing the Freidmans"...footage taken by these people basically their whole lives, unknowingly to be used in this movie...and the basic concept of being the judge and jury of which is rarely seen...watch the whole two tapes to get the complete jist...
Television:
THE DOG WHISPERER is brilliant!!! Daily Show and Real Time seem to be our only saving grace...Jon Stewart, Bill Maher & Denis Miller should run for Congress, intelligent, hip news programs that pique one's interest is always good....Discovery Times, Passport to Europe is delightful and the Lime.com has got good info. Deadwood's wardrobe is exquisite...Big Love and Soparanos were interesting, love the freedom HBO gives. Stacey and Clinton on What Not To Wear are deliciously sacastic...Anthony on No Reservations is adventourous and hip, Style Channel ~ every once in a while, they've gotten pretty lame lately; Campus Ladies is a riot, Ovation had excellent music documentaries, Trio, Bravo, TLC,Penn and Teller's Bullshit, anything to do with european fashion, porno (especially the old (70's) ones where the girls have dirty feet), old Shirley Temple movies, fix-up-the-nasty-houses shows, Queer Eye's good, Sundance documentaries, PBS stuff, adorable Andy Griffith (Lost In Space, Bewitched, Dark Shadows, Woody Woodpecker cartoons and Candid Camera as a kid) ...Not so much these days...
Books:
I like books on gothic victorian architecture, vintage lamps, extraordinary fabrics, unusual buttons, mexicalia, travel, lives of great musicians and the interesting sort...books on the human condition are captivating..."Faithfull" is an exciting read.
