Movies
Goodfellas. Giant. Pulp Fiction. Ran. (by Akira Kurosawa)
The first two Godfathers. Taxi Driver. Casino. The Seventh Seal.
This year some of the best films I have watched are "Zodiac" by David Fincher, "No Country For Old Men" by the Coen Brothers, as well as the animated Pixar joint " Ratatouille." I liked "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." "Juno" was good. Sean Penn's film "Into The Wild" is compelling. I also thought the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino vehicle "Grindhouse" was solid, especially "Planet Earth" which was RR's portion. I just watched Rob Zombie's remake of "Halloween" that was pretty interesting. Worth watching if you are a fan of the series. I also think the film "Once" starring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova is one of the best romantic films ever made, and a great musical film. It's a gem.
"Never Gonna Give You Up" mix by Brian Griffin and Rick Astley.
Television
I watch tv kind of like how Mozart painted church ceilings. Oh he didn't? Yeah right, and Grizzly Adams had a beard.
Rome. Veronica Mars. 24. The Shield. The Sopranos. Deadwood. The Ultimate Fighter. Family Guy. Arrested Development. Lost. The Simpsons. South Park. Friggin' Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The Wire. Dallas. Dynasty. The West Wing. Reno 911. Deadliest Catch is the finest reality show ever.
Books
Currently reading: I am reading "Red Rover" by Cut Bank native Deirdre Mcnamer. I am also about to start the Pulitzer winning "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri, and "Half In Love" by Maile Meloy, who grew up in Helena, Mt. Those are both short story collections.

There is a hint of change in the air with far-reaching echoes Something’s coming, I wait, anticipate, ‘til Autumn shows
I love this special time of year, my heart & soul respond full force. he smell & beauty of things is richer.
The smell of bonfires burning, piles of leaves are everywhere to see children jumping into them laughing.
Piles
of pumpkins sitting by the road & quashes, many colors, shapes and
sizes, branches of turning leaves, all the many colors a feast for the
eyes
But above all this there is that special feeling no words
can describe, it seems the world is slowing down preparing for this
special time of Autumn Tranquility
