And finish watching "A Clockwork Orange". And then read that book. Or read the book first. But do both.

I read the book, thought it was complete trash and just absolutely overrated....I guess it's just not for me.
Tom:
Any good books released this year?
Joseph:
Philip Roth's Indignation. But that's not a surprise, he's as wonderful a writer as exists at the moment.
I've heard mixed things about John Updike's new one, but I'll probably check it out at some point.
If you want a book with pictures, Shaun Tan's tales from outer suburbia is superb.
For non-fiction, Nicholson Baker's Human Smoke is a captivating, humane, and beautifully researched look at WWII.
I'm sure there's more. The NYTimes 100 notable books list is full of things by some wonderful authors, but I've spent this year catching up on old books, not really looking at the new.

So I just recently found a DVD copy of one of my favorite movies and can't help but recommend it to everyone: 'The Warriors'. It is like the Outsiders meets the Westside Story were you to add some more New York gritty, yet stylized gang action. It may have a dash of cheese on top of the bad ass toppings, but it is still a tasty sandwich of a movie. GO!

Waaaaaaaaariors. Come out to plaaaaaaaaaaaay-aaaaaaaay.
Freaken rad movie right there. One of the few remakes they are talking about that doesn't have me worried. (Ones that do: Short Circuit, Top Gun, Red Dawn, Masters of the Universe, Karate Kid)
First: cause its Tony Scott (man knows action/drama)
Second: cause apparently they are planning on using alot of gang members like they did with the first one. Only this time they are gonna be in more starring roles.
