Filling my brain with knowledge both useful and useless. I'm an addict when it comes to good story whatever medium it may come in.
Stanley Kubrick. But seeing as how that isn't very likely I'd have to say the ability to quote "the Simpsons" of the top of your head is a plus.
I like a little bit of everything. I like music about passion. My favorite musicians of all time are Leonard Cohen and Tori Amos. My current favorites are Aimee Mann and Elliott Smith. I could go on forever about the music I like, in fact it would probably be quicker to list the things I don't like. Five Favorite Songs as of right now: 1. the Other End of the Telescope - Til Tuseday 2. Trouble - Cat Stevens 3. Gloria - Patti Smith 4. My Baby Just Cares for Me - Nina Simone 5. the Shape of Things to Come - Bear McCreary
I love movies so much this is harder for me than it should be but my current top ten are as follows: 1. Blade Runner 2. a Clockwork Orange 3. Apocalypse Now 4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 5. the Royal Tenenbaums 6. 12 Monkeys 7. American Beauty 8. Hedwig and the Angry Inch 9. the Wonder Boys 10. Kill Bill
My favorite TV shows of all time are as follows in no exact order: Battlestar Galactica; Spaced; the Prisoner; Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and it's spin off Angel); the Simpsons; Carnivale; Home Movies; Rocko's Modern Life; Pinky and the Brain; Invader Zim; Futurama; Alias; Lost; The DCU Animated Legacy (Batman TAS; Superman: Batman Beyond; JLU); Firefly; Farscape; My So-Called Life; Arrested Development; Duckman; Paranoia Agent; Babylon 5; Jeremiah; King of the Hill; the Venture Bros.; Six Feet Under; Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends; Avatar: the Last Airbender; Moral Orel; Freaks and Geeks; Mama's Family; South Park; Heroes; Wonderfalls
My favorite authors of novels are Bret Easton Ellis and Neil Gaiman. My favorite novel of all time is American Gods. I am also a huge comic dork. Just about anything well written. Astonishing X-men, the Ultimates; Planetary; the Runaways are probably the best books on the market right now. Promethea by Alan Moore is in my opinion the greatest comic ever written.
Danny Boyle; Joss Whedon; Alan Moore; Ronald Moore; Neil Gaiman; Stanley Kubrick; Johnen Vasquez; Matt Groening. And we mustn't forget the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel: Batman and Superman.
