Books: I'm a streaky reader...I often find myself reading several books at one time....philosophy, fiction, and history are my favorites...
Movies: I like comedies best. Dark comedies and cheesy 80's comedies are always good. The movies that Hollywood releases (much like mainstream music) are generally formulaic and ridiculous...makes me sad that the majority of people can't wait for the next big release....please, people, explore beyond the mainstream...they are catering to the lowest common denominator...apparently it's REALLY low.
Art: I need to take my own advice and explore beyond the more famous historical artists...anyone wanna help me discover some unknown beauty? Styles that I like most: Renaissance, Impressionism, Expressionism, and Surrealism....I appreciate the beauty. Modern conceptual art often lacks that simple aesthetic beauty, though I can still appreciate it.
Type of Label: None
