Food: Italian and Mexican are probably favorites, but my mom raised
me with the philosophy of "how do you know you don't like it if
you've never tried it?" so I'll give pretty much anything a shot.
I'm also perfectly happy with fried chicken or a bowl of pho, and
nothing beats a good cheeseburger.
Music: Mostly punk rock, electronic stuff, and indie rock with a
dash of hip-hop, mostly it depends on what mood I'm in and what
I've heard on 88.5 recently. Favorites include Bad Religion, They
Might Be Giants, Idlewild, The Pixies, Reverend Horton Heat,
Tune-Yards, Fantomenk, 80Kidz, Cunninlynguists, Nirvana, Dead
Kennedys, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, Misfits, Busdriver, MC
Paul Barman, Mouse on Mars, Tool, Suzanne Vega, The Hives, Tokyo
Ska Paradise Orchestra, Operation Ivy, Tenacious D, Tonedeff,
Extended F@mm, Gift of Gab, Devo, Descendants, Outkast, Mindless
Self Indulgence, Beastie Boys, Pantera, old Metallica.
Movies: Favorite movie of all time is currently a tie between
Schizopolis
and
Brick. EDIT: new
contender The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert
Ford has entered the fight. Also Willy Wonka (the original),
Goonies, Breakfast Club,
Star Wars, Indiana Jones, LOTR,
Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Once Were Warriors,
Swimming With Sharks, both clubs (Breakfast and Fight), anything by
Terry Gilliam, Kevin Smith, Charlie Kaufman, Monty Python, Quentin
Tarantino, and a whole bunch of others.
Just kidding, Crank 2 is the greatest cinematic achievement of
mankind.
