Introduction Patrick is a student at the University of Memphis, completing his MA in Film and Video Production. He likes films; likes to look at all 'em purdy pictures. Patrick is currently in production of a documentary about Black Lodge Video in Midtown Memphis. Got some Black Lodge thoughts? Patrick sure would like to hear from you. They don't have to be good, they don't have to be bad. If you've got an opinion about Black Lodge, that's enough.
Interests Documentary film, my new cat "Vertov, " writing, playing guitar, eating out...I dunno...its all the same stuff you like to do. Its the same stuff everybody likes to do.
Favorite Movies The Seven Samurai, Time Indefinite, Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control, The King of Kong, Raging Bull, Bus 174, Pink Flamingos, Sherman's March, Blind, High School, Titicut Follies, The General, A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, The Exorcist, The Omen, Rosemary's Baby (I guess I have a thing for Satan and children, )Yojimbo, Blue Velvet, man, oh, man...this could go on and on. Look, I like flicks, I watch a lot of them. What are your favorites? Maybe we could talk about them sometime.
Favorite Music I play a lot of stuff on my guitar, and its addicting. I mean, I hardly ever listen to other folks' music, 'cause I like my stuff. Not even that my stuff is so much better, but I know it more intimately. It just means more and it sounds like me. That being said though, nothin' wrong with a little Snowglobe, Iron & Wine, Radiohead, David Byrne, Sonic Youth, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Rachel's, others...
Favorite Books Infinite Jest, In Cold Blood, Geek Love, Still Life with Woodpecker, Nickel and Dimed, FSTR, Documentary, Ham on Rye, more, more, more...
