MusicJamie Cullum, Monster Magnet, Wolfmother, Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, Tom Jones, Journey, The White Stripes, Queen, John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae, Amy Winehouse, Lewis Taylor, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Breakestra, Smashing Pumpkins, Great Northern, Foo Fighters
MoviesI 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.
TelevisionThe 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!)
BooksFight Club, Stranger in a Strange Land, Job: A Comdey of Justice, The Illuminatus Trilogy
