Movies
2046 (for the beautiful coloring and the incredible camera angles), 12 Monkeys (for the incredible vision and for Brad Pitt's performance), True Romance (for that wonderful dialog, Christian Slater's cool and for "The Scene" with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken), Usual Suspects (for the incredible story and the amazing Kevin Spacey), Leon (because Luc Besson is THE best director), Glengarry GlenRoss (for the on-fire performances and dialog), Momento (for the truly unique storytelling method), Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (because Tom Stoppard is the king), Get Shorty (proof that John Travolta used to be cool), Hero (for the best cinematography ever captured on 35mm).
Television
Sports Night (Best show ever, Aaron Sorkin, you're the man), Lost (Amazing cinematography. It doesn't hurt that it's on location in Hawaii), Heroes (great characters and fun storyline), The Office (Funniest show on TV today)

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages...
Happy Halloween! Wha'sup up north? Any word from KCFF yet on "The Hit"? Hadn't been to your page in a while -- would you look at all those laurel leaves...my my quite impressive darling. :-)
