Movies
This is important, b/c I just finished up a Screenwriting certificate, last summer! And, I am trying to write at least one great, epic classic of my own.
Anything w/ Parker Posey... Truly. Also, Martin Scorsese --- ANYTHING! I like old jock-o movies, 'Apocalypse Now', 'The French Connection'. New stuff - 'American Hustle', 'American Psycho 1 & 2', 'American Gangster'! 'On the Road' was actually fantastic, although I KNOW everyone really should READ THE BOOK! I recently bought a copy of 'I'm Not There', about Bob Dylan, and surely this is worth watching, although I know very little Dylan. 'CopLand' was especially memorable.
Sometimes I like mushy stuff, I saw 'About Time' w/ Rachel McAdams recently, and I will admit it made me really cry for the first time in a long while.. Good tears, I guess - still very saddening.
And I'm a real sucker for a Nicholas Cage flick - 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' was the best of its time!
'Dying of the Light', highly recommended. Especially because I JUST LOVE CLASSIC SPY MOVIES, 'Dying' is one!
'Blade Runner' & 'Blade Runner: 2049' are my favorites of ALL TIME. I only wish this had been a serial program, with collectible DVD's coming out forever & ever. I like 'Blade Runner' way better than 'Star Wars'.
Idols
Kurtis Blow, Robert DeNiro, Africa Bambaataa, Gerry Rafferty, Sid Vicious, Marilyn Monroe, Ezra from the good book, Axl Rose, Tom Waits... David Lynch still mesmerizes me, and should be our special National Media Director,.
