Movies:

I enjoy sci-fi movies very much :). My favorite films would have to be the Star Wars trilogy. I've always enjoyed those movies. I don't know why they improved them. They were great the way they were! I also enjoyed the first Matrix movie. The second one was ok and the 3rd installment was horrible! The other films I enjoy are Better Off Dead, Roadwarrior, The Warriors, Cube, National Lampoon's Vacation, Videodrome, Detroit Rock City, The Thing, and so on and so forth :P. My favorite directors would have to be David Cronenberg and John Carpenter.

Television:

TV is pretty lame these days so I just stick to watching The Mets, Jets and Rutgers football on the tube. I try to catch Flash Gordon on the Sci-Fi channel and I look forward to another season of Battlestar Gallactica! I'm also kind of curious about the Bionic Woman and Sarah Conner Chronicles that are starting this fall.

Books:

I enjoy reading Dan Brown and Brett Easton Ellis. My favorite books would have to be Fahrenheit 451, American Psycho, Digital Fortress and I Robot. I also enjoy reading comics books. Most recently I picked up the CBGBs photo book. It's great to see all the cool bands from back in the day when they were in their prime I wish I couldn't been there :(. Currently I am reading Please Kill Me The Uncensored Oral History of Punk.

Heroes:

Those who risk their lives in Iraq and those who risk their lives as Police officers and Firemen. They should be the only ones viewed and classified as heroes in my opinion.
