Film, music, politics, camping/travel, books, lowbrow art... Actually, I like pretty much everything... I collect spores, molds and fungus. .. .. .... Any women want to work out with me? I don't believe their findings and I'd like to test them for myself.

As someone who is going to direct film (yes, I said IS GOING TO), it's very hard for me to pick favorites. I've seen so many movies that, right now in my life, I'm going back to rewatch films I haven't seen since I was little. I enjoy everything from Z-grade schlock like "Hell Comes to Frogtown, starring Rowdy Roddy Piper, to the amazing classics of cinema art. The Godfather is probably my favorite movie of all time, but 2001:A Space Odyssey is, without a doubt, the single best film ever made. WAAAYYYY too many movies for me to actually name, though. Stanley Kubrick was the greatest director of all time. Obviously Spielberg, Scorcese, Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Godard. Almost anything written by Charlie Kaufman is good. Good lord, I could fill this thing if I listed all my favorite movies. I'm not even going to try. Ask me if I like a movie and I'll tell you. How's that?
My TV comes on for The Simpsons, then goes back off. It's the only show worth watching except Arrested Development, and that's gone now... The Drew Carey Show and The Ren & Stimpy Show were great. .. .. ..If anyone has the AMC channel and wants to let me come over and watch this, they should.
Anything by Tom Robbins, Mark Twain, Vladimir Nabokov, Hunter S. Thompson, Christopher Moore, Ernest Hemingway, Borges. On the Road, The Beach, the Principia Discordia, Ishmael, The Alchemist. I've read a lot of books. Unfortunately, I read a lot of non-fiction... for fun, and don't really have the chance to read fiction.
