Interests? All things interesting, I suppose.
Show some personality and we should get along famously. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee anything. Sorry...

In the name of progress, and also since the previous movie list was too much of a narrative, I have taken it upon myself to revamp this list, and hopefully by doing so, will make browsing easier. User friendly? Why the hell not? This is an incomplete list of some of my favorite films. Look for changes every now and then.True Stories, Un Chien Andalou, Shaun of the Dead, The Breakfast Club, Waking Life, Magnolia, Rules of Attraction, Reefer Madness: The Musical, Boogie Nights, What the Bleep Do We Know?- Down the Rabbit Hole, Ferngully, Ten Items or Less (I love practically any movie with Morgan Freeman), Stop Making Sense, I Heart Huckabees, Sanjuro, The Wall, Elephant, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, Thank You For Smoking, Dazed and Confused, Little Miss Sunshine, Billy Elliot, et alia.
There's a lot of it out there, but if I had to mention some, Doctor Who, Yo Gabba Gabba, Posh Nosh, and most televised comedy would be at the top of the list. Older television such as Sanford and Son are also wildly popular with me. Oh, and don't forget to mention the Sifl and Olly show. It's totally crescent fresh.
Here's a basic overview of some of my favorites: The Coldfire Trillogy- C. S. Friedman, Lives- Plutarch, A True Story- Lucian, The Lord of the Rings- Tolkien, House of Leaves- Mark Z. Danielewski, The Sword Polisher's Record- Adam Hsu, The Catcher in the Rye- J. D. Salinger, and practically anything by Terry Pratchett. I relish every opportunity to catch up on my reading.
I have cut down the 'Heroes' section drastically, as it seemed to go on and on without any real destination. My heroes include, but are not limited to, Katy (my little sister), The Doctor, David Byrne, Sifu, Immanuel Kant, Linda (an old manager), Oscar Wilde, et alia.
