.. | | Television | ..
..
I don't watch much TV these days. That sounds really snobby and pretentious but it's really just because I don't get free cable anymore.
Anyway, here are some shows I've become obsessed with in the past and likely will again in the future:
The Simpsons, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Rome, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Extras, 24, Lost, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, South Park, The Shield, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, Arrested Development, Fawlty Towers, the first two seasons of Millennium, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Office (both versions), The Prisoner, Rocky & Bullwinkle, The Twilight Zone, Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and probably many others. I'm really quite stupid.
..
.. | | Books | Lots. Some writers I particularly like are Joe Lansdale, James Ellroy, Lewis Carroll, Alan Moore, Stephen Hunter, Jim Thompson, Hunter S. Thompson and Vladimir Nabokov. | | Heroes | My mom. That's it. Most everybody else has disappointed me in some way. Even Batman. |

About me:
..
..
OK, seriously...
I'm Adam Jahnke. I'm a writer. As you can probably surmise from the beautifully crafted sentences that preceded this one. Wow, quite the poet, ain't I?
So anyway, I write two columns about movies and DVDs and such-like for a website called The Digital Bits. Make with the clickety-click and you can read all about it.
I've also written a couple books with Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma Entertainment and creator of the Toxic Avenger. You can order them at places like Amazon.com. They're called Make Your Own Damn Movie! and The Toxic Avenger: The Novel.
I also write movies, TV, stage plays, and dull profiles about myself and spend not nearly enough time trying to get these things made so that folks like you can actually see them instead of just reading my dubious claims about them. I'm trying to change that. Honest.
See for yourself at The Internet Movie Database. Thanks for stoppin' by, pardner. See ya further on down the road.
