Music:
Meh.... a bunch. I've just joined the rest of the world and got myself an ipod. This is exciting for me.
Movies:
I'd definately have more money if I'd spent less time over the last 10 years watching films and more time doing, like, other stuff. Top ten film lists give me a headache. But here goes: Midnight Cowboy; Apocalypse Now; Napeleon Dynamite; Kubrik's Lolita; The Passenger; Waiting for Guffman; Talk to Her; Last Tango in Paris/ On the Waterfront/ Streetcar Named Desire - can never decide which of these Brando films is best; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind/ Adaptation/ Being John Malkovitch - same for Charlie Kaufmann; The Usual Suspects; Annie Hall; The Jungle Book; Rear Window; Lost in Translation; Ed Wood; Throw Momma from the Train; Fargo; Head On; Office Space; Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom; Donnie Brasco; Seven.Films that I think are totally overrated include: Star Wars (inc. all prequels and sequels); Lord of the Rings (Star Wars with beards); Schindler's List; Brokeback Mountain; Pirates of the Caribbean. Films that I have embarassingly never seen but talked about at parties as if I have, include: Dr. Strangelove and Alien.
Television:
The Office, Deadwood, Criminal Minds, CSI: Vegas or Miami (but not New York), old English comedies like Dad's Army and Yes, Minister, Pheonix Nights, South Park.
