  • I tried to read Asimov (by recommendation of my grandpa) as a kid and even though I was big into really heavy, dry philosophy and philosophical books I couldn’t get through any of his books - if you watch Foundation without expecting a great adaptation of the books (which in and of itself would be quite an achievement which I doubt we’ll ever see) it is a pretty great scifi show in my opinion. Certainly piqued my interest in finally reading the books even if it’s nothing like the show, but then again I don’t expect adaptations to be exact replicas of the original work and find that very difference enjoyable.




  • Lol, haha, I never thought about that. I used to watch a shit-ton of movies as a teen. Got into horror movies, David Lynch and weird stuff early on so I kind of dove into the deep end very early and with no social life there was a lot of time to watch a lot of stuff.

    I seem to be having a phase where I don’t really watch movies that much (series more than ever), but when I do it’s usually kind of “comfort food” so I’m mostly watching all-time favorites over and over again.


  • The Thing,

    Naked Lunch,

    Evil Dead 1 & 2,

    The Big Lebowski,

    Videodrome,

    Alien,

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,

    For a Few Dollars More,

    Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,

    Lost Highway & Mulholland Drive,

    The Fountain, Pi, The Holy Mountain, El Topo, Princess Mononoke, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Big Trouble in Little China, The Wicker Man (the og)

    And I probably watched Donnie Darko and Ichi the Killer enough times as a teen that they both reach the top

    God I watch a lot of movies still.

    e:typo, not Donnie Dario
