the Coen Bros., Bruce Campbell, Akira Kirasawa, the Triplets of Bellville, Samuri X, Kill Bill, and a bunch more... basically anything that makes me think or laugh I like. Especially animated things; lots of anime.
I like mostly animation and comedy although a good show is a good show. Rome is a pretty great show.
I've read many books. Ask me I'll tell you. Philosophy, classical literature, histories, fiction, you know what most people read except I dig things that expand my mind. My general philosophy is if I'm going to take the time to read something I want to come away with something. So it's usually thinking books that I find hard to get through and a nice challenge. If I want to be entertained with a story or something I'd rather watch the movie, sort of the cliff notes version if you will. Yeah, movies leave out a lot, but if I don't really like the movie then it's usually a good thing that I didn't waist the time reading the book. Also, today we have the power to take things in much faster. Why not take advantage of the situation a little?
