| Interests | Staring at people, making bigoted generalizations, movies where Julianne Moore cries, screaming women, what drives people to blather loudly into their phones first thing in the morning on a crowded city bus, bitchy celebrity-gossip blogs, the psychological ramifications of living life solely for TV-on-DVD, what possesses people to bring toddlers to non-family films, celebutards, when the mail's going to get here. |
| Favorite Movies | I fear that my TV-on-DVD attention span is slowly obliterating my capacity to endure feature-length films, but I still see them from time to time. With that said, my perennial favorites include, "Anchorman, " "Best in Show, " "Bridget Jones' Diary, " "Bullets Over Broadway, " "Chasing Amy, " "Chicago, " "Citizen Ruth, "Dead Man Walking, " "Drop Dead Gorgeous, " "Far From Heaven, " "Heathers, " "Home For The Holidays, " "The Hours, " "Lost in Translation, " "Magnolia, " "Mean Girls, " "A Mighty Wind, " "Moulin Rouge, " "Muriel's Wedding, " "The Opposite of Sex, " "Personal Velocity, " "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, " "Scary Movie, " "Showgirls, " "The Virgin Suicides, " "Wet Hot American Summer, " "Waiting For Guffman, " "Wit, " "You Can Count On Me, " and the stand-up films of Margaret Cho, Sarah Silverman, and Kathy Griffin. |
