Movies:

I don't watch movies much because I usually don't have that much time to invest...but I have some favorites: Raise the Red Lantern and most other Zhang Yimou films. I also like other foreign films, too many to name...I also like Cohen Brothers movies...I've seen most of them. Harold and Maude (and it's soundtrack) is a great movie. I can do without movies that use action and special effects to make up for a lack of quality.

Television:

nope

Books:

I'm sticking to classics these days, because life is too short.

Heroes:

nope
