Someone with a treasure map, and a wish granting genie.
Oldies, jazz, standards, pop, some country, some classical, rock--I believe in keeping an open mind and trying new things. With so much good stuff to experience, why limit yourself?
I like old movies--ie, golden age of hollywood stuff. Favorite actors include Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, and Audrey Hepburn. But I also like modern movies with well-developed plots and characters. However, those are few and far between. In terms of genres, I enjoy comedies, romantic comedy, action-adventure, mystery/suspense, sci fi, and the occasional horror (nothing like having your pants scared off to make you feel alive).
I enjoy sitcoms and quality dramas. Not a fan of reality television. It caters to the lowest common denominator, and it provides less work for writers. As with movies, I'm a big fan of classic tv from the 50s and 60s. I also enjoy some recent shows, like House, 24, Two and a Half Men, and the Office.
I like books that make me think or teach me something new. Favorites include The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird. I enjoy modernist writing, short stories, and some non fiction works as well.
