Movies:

Uh, Zombies and Aliens. And Richard Crenna. And John Carpenter. And Clash of the Titans. And Beastmaster. And Cronenberg.

Television:

It is possible that our compulsion to watch television is directly linked to a psycho-biological genetic imprint from a time when our ancestors spent much of their time keeping an eye on the entrance to the cave. What is going on out there? Is it violent? Are we in danger? Are there animals out there doing something funny? Do things out there happen at the same time every day? Is it time to watch? It totally freaks me out! Have you seen the movie 'Iceman'??
