They include history, music, writing, reading, cinema and film, photography, nature and wildlife, weaponry, cultures(Old English, Scandinavian and Germanic, Japanese and Chinese) Martial arts, comic books from 1970-present, Oriental cinema, heathenism, mythology, K-9's.
I listen to mostly extreme metal - black/death/folk/heathen. I'm also a lover of soundtracks, ranging from Conan the Barbarian(Basil Poledouris RIP) to Patlabor 2 (Kenji Kawai). Wagner, Vangelis and others. Selected pop songs from the 80's and early 90's, amazing stuff. Neofolk and Martial music. Traditional folk music from Northern Europe and the far East. Dark ambient(Lustmord).
I grew up on Action flicks, mostly Arnold Schwarzenegger and all that 80's goodness.Predator 1+2, Conan The Barbarian, Commando, Aliens, Red Heat, Bill And Teds Excellent Adventure, The Lost Boys, The Mission(Recently saw this, and I don't know how I avoided it before, but it is a beautiful film, with a glorious soundtrack), Crank(Funny as hell), Batman Begins, Beastmaster, Terminator 1+2, Transformers The Movie, Enter The Dragon, Iron Monkey(Donnie Yen), Blind Fury, Krull, The Vikings, 13th Warrior, Dances With Wolves, Last of The Mohicans, Last of The Dogmen, Once Were Warriors, All Star Wars, When The North Wind Blows(Wonderful movie I've never been able to buy on VHS or DVD), Lone Wolf And Cub series, Warriors of The Wind(Fucking excellent Jap anime), American Psycho, The Machinist, Gorillas in The Mist and tons of other fucking films.
Recently been watching The Green Wing, but most of my fave's aren't on air anymore, they include.. Bottom Wildlife on One Red Dwarf Planet Earth And...well I can't really remember. So who cares.
Historical fiction is probably my most read genre these days, well that and comic books(DC). Other than that the works of Robert.E.Howard. Historical text book stuff on the dark ages. Those are genres I go out of my way to read, but I'll read anything.
My parents really. To list anyone else would be wrong, as no one else I would class a hero is actually living in the flesh, so Batman is out of the question.
