Movies
I love comedies with great characters like M*A*S*H, Animal House, Austin Powers (all of them), and Old School ...but I have cannot get enough of quality popcorn-munching comic book-based action films like Hellboy, Batman Begins (not the gaudy Burton ones), X-Men, Spiderman, The Hulk, and Fantastic Four. Daredevil and Elektra just plain sucked dog balls.
Casino Royale was the best Bond film in a while...
A few other faves: Kill Bill, Fight Club, Layer Cake, Unbreakable, and Riding Giants.
Television
The Flight of the Conchords!
SNL. I grew up making every effort to convince my parents to let me stay up and watch Saturday Night Live, and now I TiVo it every week and watch it on Sunday.
The Daily Show. The primary reason I listen to NPR is to make the jokes on the daily show that much funnier.
How I Met Your Mother, 24, 30 Rock, The Office, Extras, Heroes, South Park, Entourage, Family Guy, American Dad, The Venture Brothers, Three Sheets (a travel show about drinking - brilliant!)
Books
Fight Club, Stranger in a Strange Land, Job: A Comdey of Justice, The Illuminatus Trilogy
About me: I'm a California transplant (from Wisconsin), and absolutely love Los Angeles. I've lived in Orlando, Saratoga Springs NY, Seattle, San Diego, and San Francisco, but I have no plans of leaving LA any time soon.
Who I'd like to meet: Whoever is buying the drinks.
