underachievers and republicans
I love, love, love it all (except pop country)- punk, funk, anything with a good dance beat, trent reznor is pretty much a god, chicks that scream, anything with heavy guitars and lots of screaming, reggae. Stravinsky to NOFX. It all rocks.
A Christmas Story, Princess Bride, Star Wars starting at Episode 3 (The first 2 episodes sucked!!), Stargate, Event Horizon (I realize I might be heavily criticized for this), Cable Guy, Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure, all the Cohen Brothers movies sans Fargo, The later John Waters films, and anything done by Terry Gilliam
Twin Peaks, Ab Fab, Space Ghost, CSI, Stargate SG-1, Masterpiece Theater, LOST LOST LOST!!!
Jane Eyre, Chronicles of Narnia, anything by Emerson, Hawthorne, and Hardy, Alice in Wonderland. I've also become quite fond of the Almanac.
Diane Rhem!!! Geniuses with congenial personalities, people with the gift of gab.
