  • About my avatar
    avatar? what's an avatar? is it contagious?
  • Favorite movies
    so many...Prospero's Books, Ran, Magnolia, Amistad, Jesus of Montreal, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Fisher King...right now
  • Favorite music
    hard to say. love sufjan stevens, tom waits, kings of convenience, david crowder band...the paste compilations are amazing - they never suck! same with the esopus CDs.
  • Favorite creative writing
    The Bone People by Keri Hulme Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco The Songlines by Bruce Chatwin A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving The Favourite Game and Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen Afloat in my Mother's Palm and The Hotel of the Saints by Ursula Hegi In the Skin of A Lion by Michael Ondaatje Poetry (any, really; though Anne Carson is a particular fave), especially epic lyrics and contemporary language poets.
  • Favorite visual art
    Ann Hamilton, Antony Gormley, Christian Boltanski are my big three. Egon Schiele, Anselm Kiefer and Kiki Smith are probably my next three. And Bosch, Fra Angelico and Rembrandt don't exactly suck either. Even so, there are literally hundreds of names written in my sketchbooks...

    cool. I might check that out (if there's time). i'm definitely planning to head to LACMA for the james turrell retrospective.

    I will be heading to L.A. and area for a wedding November 7-12 (ish) and, other than hopefully taking in LACMA, won't be doing much else. Activities will take place in Midway City and Westminster (OC?). I'm a little overwhelmed by it all. Can anyone recommend any decent (read: inexpensive) places to stay? Much appreciated.

    This Is Forty

    techne replied to Peter T Chattaway's topic in Film

    wasn't sure where else to post this (and feel free to move it elsewhere) but since she is in this movie i thought it was as good a place as any to put this crazy esquire interview with megan fox.

    i must admit, the fact that copy is in south korea throws me off...
  9. techne
    if anyone frequenting these forums ever sees it (on DVD) for a decent price, could you please let me know? please? please?

    this seems like a lovely compilation: 135 of the most beautiful shots in cinema (perhaps, through the corporate knowledge of a&f's members, we could even identify the movies from which these scenes hail?)
  11. techne
    even art:21 has blogged about kinkade's passing...
  12. techne
    which? the tacoma art museum, or the wojnarowicz piece?
  13. techne
    that's a really big rock.
