Just came across this list. Funny thing is I started red badge of courage earlier today(after having wanted to read that book for oh 10 years), so I can't really form any sort of opinion. I do love Crane's short stories.
Gravity's Rainbow, that would just be an impossible task. It's way too convoluted and crazy. Catcher in the Rye, it has a feel that a movie could never capture, plus way too many expectations due to the book's stature.
Yeah I like the Hives alot too. Don't like the Strokes as much...
Television is a pretty cool band...
Yeah those 3 Clash albums are great. You should check out Combat Rock, there's quite a few good songs on that album. Sandinista is also another album that I really enjoy, not totally a cohesive whole, but full of awesome songs. Also, the live album that they released a couple of years ago tops all.
White Stripes, alrite! Nice to see all the Velvet Underground. Which do you prefer? My fav is one Velvet Underground 69. Punk albums are good too, love the sex pistols cd, but I prefer Ramones. You like the Clash right? Ain't no one better.
Hey kbuxton, I figure of all people you might be able to help me with recommendations. I've been reading some Japanese authors lately and I've been blown away. I've liked Haruki Murakami for a while now, but I just recently discovered Mishima and Ishiguro. Definitely most impressed by Mishima. Anyways, could you give me recommendations on Japanese authors that you've enjoyed reading? I've heard of Tanizaki and Kawabata, have you read them?
I totally agree with Swingers. I just didn't like the feel of that movie. As for Fear and Loathing, I think it is a movie full of great parts rather one seamless perfect story. Big Lebowski:I remember the 1st time I saw it I wasn't that impressed, but every time I rewatch it it just gets better and better.
i've only seen red river, the big sleep, and rio bravo, but i've gotta say that i did prefer red river of the 3. the big sleep was good, i enjoyed that movie more for the atmosphere it created and humphrey bogart's acting but what detracted was the fact that i couldn't piece the story together. rio bravo was really good too, i'll have to find time to watch hawk's other movies.
Yeah I gotta agree with Donnie Brasco. I also really enjoyed him in Fear and Loathing and also What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He's definitely a great actor.
Gotta love Fountains of Wayne!
What'd you think of Irreversible? I really liked it, but I found it difficult to watch(very intense), sort of like Requiem for a dream.

yeah dido!!

Confederacy of Dunces would make a great movie provided they find the perfect person to play Ignatius.
Just saw Spirited Away a couple of days ago. I highly recommend it, one of the coolest animation I've ever seen.

Hey jblack, I gotta agree with you, I love Combat Rock. It's got some of my favorite Clash songs.
