Good movies, good literature, music and playing LOTS of piano, stand-up, nature, martial arts (especially uncommon ones), cooking, nanotechnology, history, science (big one), the vastness of the universe, linguistics, Ducktales, natural disasters, wine, and Alexander Scriabin.
Nicola Tesla's pretty cool in my book. Yeah; he was definitely a little out of his mind. And Genghis Khan because he was Mongolian and he kicked major ass. And... Edgar Cayce; because he was a --------------- prophet :)
Uhh... instrumental, i guess?? I sometimes like the normal stuff-:) I also really like jazz and some oldies along with ska and rock both old and new. Actually; ...........pretty much anything except new country. It's the reason I lose sleep at night.
The Lord of the Rings, Akira Kurosawa movies, Hitchcock movies, Indiana Jones, The Prestige, The Departed, The Alien "Quadrilogy", Gladiator, Sin City, the Terminator films, V for Vendetta (although i hear the graphic novel is better), the original Universal horror classics (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man and others), Monty Python films, and many many many others. I really could go on...
I... don't really watch t.v........ but lately i've been watching a lot of FUTURAMA along with South Park, a little Family Guy, some other adult swim, and a healthy dose of PLANET EARTH and everything else Discovery-affiliated and intellectually stimulating.
I don't read nearly as much as i should but when i do it's usually fantasy novels. ;) I do read GameInformer every month though....
Einstein, Peter Jackson, the first archaic humanoid who made fire, Scriabin, Jackie Chan, Nostradamus, and myself on a good day.
