TELEVISION:

Kill Yours!
But If I do get near a TV, I like
classic family sitcoms like
Family Ties or Cosby. Does
anyone remember the Dick
Van Dyke Show and Mary
Tyler Moore? Then later Bob
Newhart's show?
oh - and cartoons.

Hanging out: Pretty much

strange affinity for chick
bands. er, I mean female vocalists...

There's more,

MOVIES:

Of course, comic book related:
* Batman {Returns was best!}
* Spiderman
* X-Men
* Daredevil
* V For Vendetta - This movie
is a great piece of work from
legendary comic writer
and creator Alan Moore, who,
BY THE WAY, got NO credit
from DC Comics ANYWHERE
in the film! (Due to a little
falling out they had...)
Maybe they changed it a little
in the translation to film, but
that brilliant storyline and
amazing dialog came from him.

* And if you can get your hands
on it, I HIGHLY recommend
this rare gem: MIRRORMASK
by Gaiman & McKean!

In general I like a lot of
those stupid Arnold movies:
* Total Recall, Terminator,
Running Man, True Lies,
Kidnergarden Cop...

Or good comedy like:
* Liar,Liar
* Napoleon Dynamite
* Mystery Science Theater 3000

My favorites are usually
animated:
* Nightmare Before
   Christmas
* Madagascar
* Finding Nemo
* Toy Story
* Shrek
* The Incredibles
* Wallace & Gromit...

Or Sci- Fi/Fantasy related:
* Star Wars
* Star Trek
* Lord Of The Rings
* Labyrinth, Dark Crystal
* Aliens, Predator
* and the classic Back To
   The Future series...

* I'm also gonna confess to:
   Harry Potter and
   Spy Kids...

* Of course, The
   Chronicles of Narnia

And stuff like:
* Armageddon
* Independence Day
* Indiana Jones
* The Rundown

My all time favorite movie:
* The Princess Bride.
Although Pirates Of The
Caribbean was ALMOST
as fun! "Inconceivable!"

And these movies not only
redefined "Head Trip", they
also contained extremely
poignant social commentary:
* The Matrix ( the first one)
* Pulp Fiction, and
* FIGHT CLUB.

I've discovered that I really
like most Adam Sandler
productions:
* Billy Madison
* Happy Gilmore
* Big Daddy
* 50 First Dates

And finally, I just saw this
recently, in French with
subtitles, a thoroughly
entertaining romantic comedy:
* Amelie.
