Note: This list does not reflect intellectual context. A favorite movie to me is based on it's replay value. The following movies are films that I can watch over and over. This list is not casually thrown together, it is just as thought out as my music...
Television
"I don't watch television, I don't even own a televison. Notice I didn't say T.V., T.V. is a nickname and nicknames are for friends and Televison is no friend of mine."
True Fact: There are only six shows Mr. Show, Chappelle's Show, Family Guy and The Simpsons, Wonder Showzen, and Pimp My Ride (guilty pleasure, I know even though Chuck Klosterman has previously dispelled all myths about 'guilty pleasures')
Books
Books on the other hand are based on how amazing it was once, it does not have to be re-read, I read slow enough, trust me.

I was in the city this weekend and I took the train with my boys and what do we see? INKHEAD, big as life on 9th st & 4th ave. Then again at Smith & 9th. Made me nostalgic for the Vito of old, who used to love me and keep in contact. I know things are different between us but, I want you to know I still think of you often and I love you more than words can say. Hope you're well. Say hi to the fam for me...
