Any south indian monster goddess movie with STOMPING angry green
amman like Durga or with some sort of Naag Devi slaying a giant fire-breathing mongoose or evil sorcerer with her TRISHUL, or where devotees are feeding milk to cobras or pouring over the goddess' head . . . and I love Old 70s UFO/paranormal documentaries with analog synth soundtracks, goofy re-enactments, and too much stock footage. Whatever older Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood movies I find. . . preferably the ones with rotating bars, 4-dimensional ceilings and DANGER lurking behind every corner.
Television:
I know I'm not supposed to watch television but I honestly loved everything from Joss Whedon (Firefly!!). . . .
I've also enjoyed stupid, cliche-ridden Canadian adventure shows like Relic Hunter, Forever Knight, and Once A Thief. I would also like to watch: The Mighty Boosh, Flight Of The Conchords, The Avengers, The Prisoner, News Radio, The Banana Splitz, Still Game, Wondershowzen, old Spaceghost cartoons, Space 1999, Jason of Star Command, and Buck Rogers.... and I really miss all the crappy paranormal investigative shows of the 90s.
