Music
It's rare that I hear music that I don't like in at least one aspect or another, especially if it's well played. Rock, reggae, jazz, classical, opera, hip hop, bluegrass, metal, country, industrial, new age, americana, folk, electronica... there's something fascinating in all of it.
Movies
This could go on for awhile... Fargo (or any Cohen Bros flick); All That Jazz; any Star Wars; Eraserhead; Blue Velvet; Pink Flamingos; any Lord Of The Rings; Mars Attacks; I, Robot; American Beauty; any Woody Allen flick; Men In Black I & II; Audition; any Bruce Lee: old Japanese samauri movies; They Live; Harry Potter flicks; Chaplin/Keaton/Lloyd silent movies... more to come...
Television
Mostly news & info channels; 99% of sitcoms really suck.
Books
Anything by P.J. O'Rourke, Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, Walt Kelley, Stephen King, and lots more...
Who I'd like to meet: Musical People, martial artists (especially Chinese styles), comedy fans, people who enjoy life... I don't even mind if we disagree, but a functioning brain and a backbone are mandatory prerequisites please!
