- Movies
1.) Jaws; 3.) Evil Dead 2.) What's Eating Gilbert Grape? That top 3 may look a little hinky, but I pretty much love everything from "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" to "Idiocracy." Especially geeked by great documentaries (Crumb, Jesus Camp, Fog of War). Absolutely LOVE low-budget do-it-yourselfers like Ray Dennis Steckler; T.V. Mikels and Doris Wishman -- the sillier the better. Also crazy about modern and classic horror.
- TV
Adult Swim's "Squidbillies," man. If they cancel it I'm gonna have a fit. TCM, AMC, PBS The Daily Show; The Colbert Report and all the true crime programming. Also like the Discovery Channel, Comedy Central and the History Channel. Will occasionally sneek a peek at all those "Pimp My House" shows or some vulger celebrity-falling-apart stuff, but my favorite T.V. by far is HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Effin' hilarious. A few T.V. heroes: Dave Chapelle (bless you, Dave); Rod Serling (a genius); The Three Stooges (I'm a Moe gal); and the brilliant Wanda Sykes.
- Games
Dominoes. I'm not kidding. Apparently myself and the fine people of Jamaica are the only humans who think this game is fun.
