Movies:
As a filmmaker, I enjoy movies that challenge my perceptions of them. Movies like the Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Resovoir Dogs, Amelie, Equilibrium, Empire Records, Cinema Paradiso.
Honestly, I love to have myself taken by a story and wrapped up in it. I love to have my life and its problems melt away from my mond because I am absorbed by a character, a scene. I love the way a story can be told with no words but camera angles and a look. Movies that make me think.
Television:
Firefly, Alton Brown, Seth MacFarlane and Matt Groening pretty much take up any television time, History Channel and CSI tend to fill in the gaps.
Books:
Orson Scott Card, Douglas Adams, Paul of Tarsus, JRR Tolkien, Robert Frost, Harlan Ellison, Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman, John the Baptist, Allen Ginsberg
Heroes:
I have a lot of heroes. I have personal heroes such as Jack Kerouac, Douglas Adams, Jerry Holkins and Fred Gallagher. I have minor heroes that are not permanent heroes but are recognized as having done something I consider worthy of merit, and I have the Hero of the Day award, whom I hand out to someone I think did something particularly special that day.
And of course He who has sacrificed for me tops any list of heroes.
