My Favorite Things!* (*right now)
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about stuff I like, so I thought I’d use this week’s blog to answer a few of those. Let me know if you like this feature by emailing me at questionsforbret@krakoom.com and maybe I’ll do it somewhat regularly. Oh, and thanks to everyone who wrote about the “Deal” trailer.
My favorite movie right now is Eastern Promises. Viggo Mortensen’s performance is amazing. Especially the naked fight scene. Very raw, real and “ballsy.” Go Viggo!
For television, look no further than The Wire. I realize I’m late to the game with this one, but I recently purchased season 1 on DVD and watched half of it in one day. That’s 6 hour-long episodes. And I’m not talking about 42 minute network “hour-long” episodes, like Reaper. These are really a full hour… and worth every minute. LOVE IT.
My favorite book right now is A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. It reminds me a lot of Reaper in tone, mixing humor with horror.
And finally, music. Right now, I’d have to say my favorite song is Air Aid by Menomena. I can listen to it all day. “People of the future will remember…”
