Film influences:
Odd little things stick in my mind...Some will make sense, others will not.
Bladerunner - need I say more.
Clockwork Orange - I saw it in 5th grade and haven't been the same since.
The Graduate - Film school made me watch it and it was impressive, it also grew on me, textual analysis comes to mind.
Kurasowa flicks - Japanese westerns...very cool.
Clerks - Wonderfully terrible movie with charm and heart...
Bottle Rocket - who knows but I have always loved it... I want a jump suit...
Lawn Dogs - very odd, really cool and non conventional indie flick.
