Pop culture in general, music, video games, comic books, lifestyles of the semi-famous, other books, and random trivia. Making quick, sarcastic remarks is fun, too.
Whomever/whatever started the process of life as we know it (just to have some Sprite(c) and smite some people), Johnathan Swift, Bill Hicks and Andy Kaufman (if any of them where still with us), Henry Rollins, the band Tool, and people with other thought processes.I'd also be cool to meet the following semi-famous people: from G4TV- Layla Kayleigh (newscaster, very smart and interesting lady), Blair Butler and Casey Schneider (nerd writers extraordinnaire), Kevin Pereira (witty guy), and game reviewers Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, because of their black humor (and I don't mean "black" in the Dave Chappelle/Chris Rock way, although I don't mind them)Also- Rachel Specter ("the RGX girl", who seems to be a nice "real person"), a couple of comedians on the lines of Brian Posehn, Demetri Martin, and Jeff Dunham, and if there's time left after all that, actress/interviewer/producer (producress?)/Maria Menounos.Finally- Taryn Southern and her roomie Meg Marie Cionni, who are two wonderful L.A. inhabitants who for some fool reason think I'd do well in Hollywood.Edit: and everyone Taryn Southern has ever known or worked with. Seriously, everyone. (It's an inside joke.)
Specifically, Tool, the RHCP, and NIN (my three "base" bands), but also stuff like Electric 6, R.E.M., A Perfect Circle, Primus, Seether, some Chevelle, Cold, Metallica, and Breaking Benjamin.Believe it if you will, but I also like catchy new music (it amuses me) and some weird '80s and '90s stuff (the B-52s, anyone?)Some of the best stuff is the stranger music. I also really love most video game music.
Parts of the movie industry are clearly out of good ideas for the most part. That being said; the first couple Saw movies, Hostel, Fight Club, old Freddy/Jason movies, se7en, the Hannibal movies, (basically horror/thrillers that make you step back and think)... I'm also fond of brilliantly off-kilter comedy a la Dumb and Dumber, Idiocracy, Thank You For Smoking, and most anything by Kevin Smith!Also, guiltily,The Breakfast Club.
Wrestling (yes,sadly), House, 30 Rock, King of the Hill, Futurama, Scrubs, Arrested Development, X-Play, and Attack of the Show, Also: The Twilight Zone, How It's Made, Mythbusters, and that kind of thing.
Deep graphic novels- Kraven's Last Hunt, JLA: Earth 2, The Watchmen, and Tales from The CryptIn more serious fare, Dracula, Silence of The Lambs, A Clockwork Orange, 1984, Animal Farm, The Scarlet Letter, The Divine Comedy, The Raven (TECHNICALLY only a poem), Mythology, and others on my "to read" list.The only books I've outright hated were Billy Budd and Great Expectations.
Umm, Arachnoman?Like to meet pretty much sums it up. Leave Heroes to NBC.
