This Guy

I saw this guy at the gym tonight ... he was wearing sun glasses on top of his head while he was lifting. I found this very unsettling.

I watched the movie Ghost World last night and found it pretty good. Tonight I will watch more Twin Peaks ... I am getting close to finishing it.

I put together my top 1o film and tv lists .. I guess I will post them:

Here are my top ten TV shows:

10. Parker Lewis Can't Lose - Weird, quirky humor with a great collection of different characters.

9. The Muppet Show - Classic and always funny. Beaker is the best, dude.

8. Gilmore Girls - My guilty pleasure ... I always had a crush of Alexis Bledel, but it's Lauren Graham that steals the show. Great dialogue too.

7. Curb Your Enthusiasm - A whole series about George Costanza ... haha ... Larry David is genius.

6. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - The characters are all despicable ... but that's what makes them so funny. Such a wicked comedy that doesn't hold back .... I believe it is the best comedy still being made.

5. Arrested Development - The characters are so funny ... I find myself having a new favorite character every time I watch. I can't wait till the movie!! I need my Bluths!

4. Seinfeld - Not much I can say ... a masterpiece of comedy ....

3. The Wonder Years - What an amazing, touching show. I can't believe how well it is made, and the music in it is great. The characters are so real. This is the show that has pushed me to tears more than any other.

2. Lost - This changed the way I believed a TV show could be made. The mystery, character development, music .... so great. This is the only show I watched marathon style when I first go the dvds ... like 8 episodes in a row at a time, heh ... so good.

1. The Adventures of Pete and Pete - This show is amazing ... Nickelodeon was so cool back then ... but this show was the best. It's twisted humor mixed with remembering things from my childhood was awesome. This was an adult show masked as a kid's show. The humor is weird and has gone a long way in shaping my sense of humor. All the characters were great too ... the song at the start of the show is my ringtone : )

and here are my top 10 film list:

10. Heavyweights - I am not a huge fan of slapstick comedy, but this film just gets me. It is what I think to be Ben Stiller's best comedic role, as the crazy fitness instructor.

9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Really great acting from Jim Carey & Kate Winslett plus a great thought provoking story ... almost trippy.

8. Swingers - What a fun, cool, funny guys movie. I like the laid back feel it has, and it feels very realistic.

7. The Royal Tenenbaums - Awesome surreal world that Anderson builds with a great all-star cast. It has a great dreamy feel to it that I like and has great dry humor.

6. The Virgin Suicides - This movie is all about the haunting and surreal feel to the film. The whole thing almost feels like a dream. It also has great music that adds to the flavor. It is chilling story that really puts you into the character of the young boys ... who ended up knowing nothing about the girls ... just like we as viewers feel at the end ... why did they do it?

5. The Big Lebowski - This movie is just cool. It has awesome humor, and it is very quotable. The character of The Dude is amazing, John Goodman is great in this, and you can't forget about the Nihilists ... WE BELIEVE IN NOSSSSTHHING, LEBOOOWWWSKI .. ha

4. Snatch - Cool, stylized film ... cool characters ... funny ...one of the best opening sequences to any film I have see.

3. Rushmore - Smart, funny film with a great soundtrack. Bill Murray is awesome ... Jason Schwartzman is fantastic and is very believable in his role. The film is so maticulous, you can tell that everything in the film has been thought through with the greatest detail. I love that this old business man and young student can strike up a friendship ... but they are both ruthless .. ha

2. Raiders of the Lost Ark - It's really hard to think of a more enjoyable movie to watch ... great action and comedy ... you can't ask for more .. perfection.

1. Bottle Rocket - This is the film that introduced me to the dry humor in movies that I have come to love. It basically shaped my sense of humor. The characters and dialogue in this film are so funny. Every time I watch it, new things jump out and crack me up ... the subtle things are great. EVeryone needs to give this film a try ... It's the Wilson bros. jump off and also Wes Andersons
