who gets a lifetime pass?

tania:
a pretty simple premise: which famous person, be it musician, artist, filmmaker, actor, writer, etc. has done enough to earn and keep your respect for literally the rest of their lives regardless of whatever else might happen from this point onward in their career? don't just pick people you like, be prepared for the fact that they could do almost anything. they could record a tribute album to creed. they could become a spokesperson for peta. they could announce that paris hilton is going to play the lead role in every single film or television show they ever make ever again. you would still love them unconditionally and defend them until their death because of whatever they did that was just so, so good.

my pick is larry david (edited for image) -



i can honestly say that if he announced tomorrow that he was planning on spending the rest of his life doing nothing but making films that consist of rob schnieder and adam sandler farting on each other, i would probably cry a little bit but ultimately forgive him because of the sheer enjoyment and awe i have experienced over the years for curb your enthusiasm, probably the funniest thing on television today and certainly among the most creatively produced and well written. while i enjoyed seinfeld, curb has a way of very seriously impressing me more and more with every year despite my insistence every time that he just can't beat the genius of the previous one, in ways i could never in my life come up with. he's also pretty old already so hopefully there wouldn't be too many of those terrible fart movies anyway.

who would you give a lifetime pass to?

KvP:
Iggy Pop. If you heard most all of his output over the last 25 years you'd say he should be totally irrelevant. But those first 15 are so rich and important that it doesn't matter in the slightest.

Also, Prince. Dude is nuttier than a gay camel and more filler than killer on a good day these days, but Purple Rain.

And dirty mind. and sign O' the Times

Ozymandias:
Alan Moore. Dude is a crotchety, bitter old wizard these days, but frankly he's earned his bitterness.

I'm pretty confident in 10 years, I'd want to put Christopher Nolan on this list, but I ain't going that far just yet.

scarred:
George Lucas.

I don't give a fuck what anyone says. The original Star Wars trilogy is a nearly flawless work of cinema that's served as the foundation for an expanded universe in which I spent more time as a child than any other (excepting meatlife).
