History, science, aviation, the Internets, baseball, football, rollerball, comics, medieval weaponry, speculation, the occult, the manifest, literature, music, sperm motility, fine dining, skeevy bars, the ineffable, you know, the usual crap.
I don't like to meet people I admire, as I always end up feeling like I could have been cooler, more witty.
Beatles, Black Sabbath, The Who, Pink Floyd, Gomez, Wilco, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, De La Soul, The Doors, Cocteau Twins, Bob Marley, any and all bad 70s music, classical, jazz, etc.
In order, more or less: Apocalypse Now, Citizen Kane, Wings of Desire, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Network, The Big Lebowski, Blue Velvet, A Clockwork Orange, Excalibur, Blazing Saddles, Enter the Dragon, Goodfellas, The Seven Samurai, The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars, Star Trek II, Breathless, Conan the Barbarian, Full Metal Jacket, Lord of the Rings, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and many more. I like movies that are good, hate movies that are not.
