John Harden's Interests
|

Holiday. You Can Count On Me. 2001. Truly, Madly, Deeply. Alien. Pulp Fiction. Broadcast News. . . . ALSO: The Year of Living Dangerously. Adaptation. Hannah & Her Sisters. Tootsie. The Conversation. THX 1138. The Incredibles. La Jetee. A Clockwork Orange. Dr. Strangelove. Solaris. Fargo. Star Wars. Jaws. The Usual Suspects. Memento. Eraserhead. Performance. The Day The Earth Stood Still.

The Terminator. Being John Malkovich. Blue Velvet. Silent Running. The Abyss. Westworld. The Andromeda Strain. Seconds. The Parallax View. Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Star Trek 2. The Player. The Wizard of Oz. | | Television | Star Trek (original 60's version). The Outer Limits, but NOT the Twilight Zone. (Twilight Zone is the most overrated "Golden Age" program of all time. It was always a half hour of bad acting & hokey dialogue just to get to the damned twist ending. A long way to go if you ask me. ) What else? Rocky & Bullwinkle, and Bugs and Daffy and the Roadrunner. Mr. Rogers. Speed Racer. Ernie Kovacs, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore. Space:1999 (first season). Monty Python's Flying Circus! The Kids in the Hall. Fawlty Towers. Cheers & Frazier. Friends, but never when it's an episode about Ross' monkey. Nowdays I watch Dinner for 5, House, Battlestar Galactica, Stewart/Colbert, and any video clip shows where stupid people get injured. And when I'm sleeping on the couch, I like to listen to golf or that PBS show where that Bob Ross guy paints landscapes. | | Books | You know, the usual suspects: "Catcher in the Rye," "Huckleberry Finn," "Cat's Cradle," by Vonnegut; ...then the sci-fi: Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke... "Dying Inside," by Robert Silverberg; "The Forever War," by Joe Haldeman, "Gateway," by Frederick Pohl... these are all books I read decades ago. Lately I don't read so much, unfortunately. But I did manage "Empire Falls" by Richard Russo and "The Cheese Monkeys" by Chip Kidd, and enjoyed them very much. And can I put "Maus" by Art Speiglman on here? I can? Then add "Calvin and Hobbes" too. | | Heroes | Kill Yr Idols |

John Harden's Blurbs |
About me:
I write films, I make films, I love films. But I wish I was a rock star.
Oh, and my regular website is here.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
People who like smart, cool, and original films. And art, and music. People interested in creating really smart, cool, original films. And art, and music. An agent to represent me. A producer looking for a really good script. And Harvey Keitel... but I'd be scared of him I think.
