Go see the movie "Once"!!!Non linear films are my fav (i.e. Memento, Muholland Drive, and Pulp Fiction). My guilty pleasure is Rocky I, II, & IV. Foreign films in German and slavic languages are nice and if I'm going to check out a flick I'd rather be at E Street Cinema than anywhere else. I'm also a big fan of the Shawshank Redemption and Field of Dreams.
The Daily Show, Real Time w/Bill Mahr, C-span. Ok, and Project Runway.
I have waaaaaay too many books. If there's one I think everyone should read it's Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way we Make Things. It's written by William McDonough and Michael Braungart. Besides that, I read mostly books about politics, Eastern Europe, biographies, medical books, and poetry by Neruda and Lorca.
