Always have been a big movie fan. I prefer dialog to action. I prefer low-budget to huge extravaganzas. Old movies, new movies, independent films. I will always prefer watching a film to switching on a TV series. My list would be even longer than my music list, so let's save space and not list them! I prefer to laugh when watching a movie to crying. I also detest epic romance pictures! Give me a silly romantic teen film over those any day! Also, I might admire special effects but most of the plots (of those movies) make me yawn!..
I try not to watch too much on TV. Don't like the reality shows. I prefer sit-coms, but end up watching syndicated re-runs of the classics. Public television is fine. I'm not a fanatic. I like the travel shows, animal show, British comedies, and I find "Antiques Roadshow" fascinating. If you want me to commit to a TV series, I just can't seem to remember to keep up with one and I get hopelessly lost. Better to just turn on a movie. If a good movie isn't around, blast some tunes on the stereo!
I'm a voracious reader. Don't ask me to pick just one genre or author. Thanks!
My mother most of all.
