My Desert Island Top 5 DVDs: An Intro
2008-09-30 16:54:57
So I don't post on this blog nearly enough. That's a fact. But juggling all the content on Marvel.com, managing my Twitter feed, the Marvel Twitter feed and the Embrace Change Twitter feed and a billion other things can take up a hefty amount of time. Yeah, yeah. Whine, whine, whine.
So, I will get back to posting more posters from around the Marvel office, hopefully sooner rather than later.
But I also had an idea to do a series of blog posts on here that...well...aren't all Marvel, Marvel, Marvel. I'm very much interested in what music, movies, books, etc. people dig and figured I could get some Marvel creators and editors to talk about stuff they like. It may lend some insight into their creative process, expose we the fans up to new music/movies/books/whatever or just be kinda fun. I hope!
So while I wait for answers to come in, I'll post my (Current) Desert Island Top 5 DVDs.
And by Desert Island Top 5 DVDs, I mean the 5 DVDs that you'd want to have with you if you ever got stranded on a desert island and they'd be the only ones you could watch. And yes, this hypothetical desert island has electricity, a DVD player and a TV. Duh.
1. "The Royal Tenenbaums" - To me, it's the perfect movie. Beautifully shot, cast, acted, scripted, scored, soundtracked, nuanced. I love it.
2. "Dave" - There's something about this movie, a cute political comedy starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver that mesmerizes me. I could watch it over and over again.
3. "Lord of the Rings" - Yeah, I'm cheating and counting all three as one movie. So what? It's my blog. Neener, neener.
4. "Baseketball" - That's right. What? Got something to say? It's a damn funny movie and I've probably watched it 100 times.
5. "High Fidelity" - This was a tough choice, but it's one of those movies I have and will watch more times than I thought possible. It hits the uber-music nerd in me, along with the sappy, sentimental dude. Even better than the book.
See? Not too scary. Sure, I'll probably go home, look at my DVDs and say, "Crap, I forgot about this movie!" But them's the breaks.
Okay, look for lists from Andy Diggle, Mike Carey, Brian Reed and more soon!
SWEET!
It's nice to see this blog back again! Love the posters, though discussing other matters is a nice change of pace.
