Movies:

So many. I especially love documentaries and Clerks, All About Eve and Memento.

I no longer have cable (sadness) so I don't watch much tv. I do, however, catch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Wife Swap when my rabbit ears allow for it.

Books:

I dig Andrea Dworkin, Marilyn Frye, bell hooks, Mary Daly, Steven Wise, David Sedaris, Dave Eggers, Sylvia Plath, Emily Dickinson and count Animal Liberation, 1984, The Bell Jar and Invisible Monsters as my current favorite books.

Heroes:

Andrea Dworkin, Ingrid Newkirk, Ralph Nader and Ellen DeGeneres.
