Dan:
Surprise! I have varied interests.
I'm a news and political junkie, as you know, as well as a performance-car fan (Mustang variety). My tastes in entertainment run from
Mister Bean (if you have to ask, it doesn't matter) and the old silent comedies (Harold Lloyd and Chaplin were brilliant) to Orson Welles:
'A Touch of Evil' is my favorite over 'Citizen Kane' which was genius for a guy of 25 to accomplish his first time out as a movie director. I love the older foreign films; the Japanese masterpiece
'Lady In The Dunes' is a favorite and many French films are interesting (
'The 400 Blows') and the contrast with American films is somewhat startling the first few times you view one, especially with the required sub-titles.
I've been known to enjoy a Shakespeare film (Mel Gibson did a decent
'Hamlet' a few years back) and I've even enjoyed some light opera performed on tape (
'The Barber of Seville' is really entertaining).
When it comes to books; I read
everything from Salinger to Updike to Stephen King and most in-between, including bios of the famous (and interesting)and , yes, auto tech manuals. Gotta keep up.
I like light jazz, too.
You get the point, I'm sure. We're all complicated and no one ever 'figures anyone out'. I hope your jaw is O.K.
Regards;
Jim
