If it's wierd, trippy or noir, I just may like it.
a.) Anything by
Neil Gaiman,
Charles deLint,
Stephen King or
Raymond Chandler
(
Philip
Marlowe rocks my world, in a old fashioned, '40's kind of way).
Harry Potter.
Lovecraft.
Mythology.
Sci-fi.
Fantasy.
Cthulhu.
Calvin and Hobbes.
Bloom County ("Blam!"
"What was that?!" "We tried to plug Bill's tongue into the amp.
Apparently he wasn't grounded." "IS HE DEAD AGAIN?" "No, no...I'll
get the bactine.")
Esoterica (unless it's put out by
Llewellyn. bleh.) I loved
Laurel K. Hamilton's
Anita Blake
series until it literally became "Anita Does Everybody," although
I'll freely admit I still read the series...it's sort of like not
being able to look away from a train wreck (edit: yes, it's still a
train wreck but I was finally able to tear my poor, abused eyes
away about three books ago.) Too many subjects to list
really.
b.)
Serenity.
The
Princess Bride.
Bubba HoTep.
Stargate.
Benny and Joon.
The Man Who Wasn't
There.
The
Crow.
The 39
Steps.
The Atomic Brain.
Nighttide.
Vampire's Kiss.
Anything with
Johnny Depp,
Keanu Reeves (I don't care if folks
think he graduated from the
William Shatner School of
Acting) or
James
Spader. Anything by
Tim Burton or
Sam Raimi.
Sci-fi.
Fantasy.
Horror (*rant* although I can't
stand that lately they're just recycling decent horror
movies and ruining them in the process. Did they think we wouldn't
notice? Half the time they're not even worthy of the home
version of
MST
3K...and this fascination with "UNRATED DIRECTOR'S CUT!!"
versions. What the hell? The last one I watched left me thinking
the rated version must have been rated G or something because this
version was nothing. NOTHING, I tell you...*/rant*) Another big
list.
b1.) May as well add television:
Neverwhere,
Grey's Anatomy,
Arrested
Development,
Supernatural (
Kripke is possibly evil incarnate
and could probably own my soul for cheap.),
House,
Boston Legal,
Farscape,
Firefly (or anything by
Joss Whedon).
Stargate in both incarnations.
Monty Python
("That's not Picasso - that's Kandinsky.")
M*A*S*H. There's probably others,
but I can't think of them at the moment.
c.)
The
Ramones ("I guess I'll have to tell 'em/that I've got no
cerebellum/Gonna get my PH.D., I'm a teenage lobotomy!")
The Cure,
Green Day,
The Doors,
Godsmack, the
Dresden Dolls,
Voltaire,
Black Tape for a Blue
Girl, alternative, metal and hard rock. I'm learning to have an
appreciation for some of
Metallica's stuff as well as
Tool,
Shinedown and
NIN. Throw in songs like
Warren Zevon's
"Werewolves of
London" (Ah...oooooo....) and
KT Tunstall's
"Black Horse
and Cherry Tree." Oh yeah - I'm a
'80's kid so I guess I'd better add
that I shamelessly love the
Hair Bands, like Dokken, Poison,
Faster Pussycat, Cinderella and the like. Throw in
Queensryche, and I'm a happy
girl.
d.) Mexican. Oriental. Chocolate. Cheese. Cherries. Figs.
Blueberries. Blackberries (esp. the wild ones in my yard) I like
finding new things to try.
