Right. I’ve been meaning to post this thread for a couple of weeks so here goes. In the name of pop-culture I’d like each and every last m*thefucking one of you to recommend the following…

ONE FILM
ONE BOOK
ONE ALBUM
ONE OTHER REALLY COOL THING*

* – Said thing cannot be a film, book or an album.

Yeah, I’d been warned it was getting cut down from the 450 I actually wrote, but I’ve not seen the new version yet. Wouldn’t think I had to sift through a 40 minute interview for that, would you?

Wired people get tetchy if you mention the low words-images ratio, though ;-)

I’ve sent a link to the G&T e-mail address.

What, the editors do? Because, let’s face it, I’m a subscriber as much because I like the design of the magazine as the content. The other month’s “who is awake” info graphic was excellent.

BTW – UK version is much better than the US one, isn’t it? I just think it feels a little more coherent and structured.

What, just one of each?

Blazing Saddles: it was either this or Young Frankenstein, I think. It’s funny, ‘cos I’m kind of a cynical old fucker, but I like Mel Brooks comedies.

The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark: It’s Carl Sagan, writing about debunking stuff like UFO abduction stories, and examining everything around us through the lens of the scientific method. And it really is wonderful.

Blonde on Blonde: At the moment I’m kind of going through a Bob Dylan thing. I only discovered his work a few months ago, but of his albums I’ve listened to so far I think this is possibly his best. But it’s a damned close thing.

Also, Wondermark, by David Malki! It’s probably one of my favorite webcomics in the entirety of everything on the Internet.

Oh, Blazing Saddles! I made my younger sister sit through this the other week, and we were both howling with laughter. The scene with the beans is still my favourite. That’s how much I’ve matured.
