I normally don't watch many movies, but I always remember quotes from "Better Off Dead" :) I usually like obscure movies, but don't remember a whole lot about them later...I do know I don't like overly "Hollywood" or stupid movies, makes me feel like I've just wasted several hours...Here's some that I remember...The Pianist, The Hours, Girl, Interrupted...Awakenings, The Wall, Pi, The Shining, The Fly, Adaptation, 2001: A Space Odyssey...hmmm...funny movies like Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Airplane, Vacation, Christmas Vacation, etc....there's more...I just can't think of them right now.
Science channel, Discovery, National Geographic, History channel, etc. I absolutely can't stand commercials...I guess that's why I don't watch a whole lot of TV.
Ever since college, I seem to mostly read non-fiction. I like books about cosmology, energetic healing, consciousness...I used to really enjoy Carlos Castaneda's books until I read that he was a fraud. Now I'm not sure what to think...I still think they were great stories..."The Physics of Consciousness", Evan Harris Walker; "King Phillip's War", don't remember the author, but it's a great account of the history of the Eastern Native Americans and the English...stuff I never learned about in school...; "Hands of Light", Barbara Brennan; "Destination: Void", Frank Herbert; "Brave New World", Aldous Huxley; "The Dragons of Eden", Carl Sagan; "Ghost Rider", Neil Peart; "Desert Solitaire", Edward Abbey :); "The Holotropic Mind", Stanislav Grof................
My Grandpa...He's 85 years old and still rides a motorcycle. He also built a house using a ruler with no numbers and a pencil with no lead...:)??! I'm sure there are more, I just need to think of them...
