Movies:
There are so many. Wayne's World I and II, Spinal Tap, Bill & Ted, all the Python films except Meaning of Life, and so many more. All of which are more intellectual than those mentioned above. Cough.
Television:
Two Pints of Lager and A Packet of Crisps
Robot Chicken
South Park
The IT Crowd
TOTP2 (whenever I happen to catch it!)
The Simpsons
And all sorts of other crapola like...
Dirty Sanchez
David Beckham's Soccer USA
Sinchronicity
The Jeremy Kyle Show
And other random crap... I have a particular soft spot for shows like Maury (You are NOT the father!) and manly shows like Cops on Camera and Holy @%!% and such...
Books:
Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, George Orwell
Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys
White Noise, Don DeLillo
The Cement Garden, Ian McEwan
Novels aside, I love poetry, particularly Romantic-era poets like John Keats, William Blake and William Wordsworth and Modernists like T.S. Eliot and Philip Larkin.
A particular area of interest is historic literature... Old English texts like Beowulf, and the masterworks of Middle English... Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the books of Geoffrey Chaucer. Simply awesome.
Heroes:
"The blues is about having the blues. If you don't have the blues, you can't play or sing the blues." -- Peter Green
"The music should come from the soul and be simple and straightforward so everyone can enjoy it"
Paul Kossoff 14th September 1950 – 19th March 1976
