Underground anything... within reason (prerequisite: just make sure it's good)
Precious little mainstream if I can help it (and 99% of the time I can)

Movies
Again, all done with long lists, so here are a few all-time favourites:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Alien
Dr. Strangelove
Eden Log
Ghost In The Shell
InterMission
Lenny
Scorpion
Sunshine
The Thing
Wag The Dog
Wilbur (Wants To Kill Himself)
Television
There's a piece of dialogue in the film Cube that can be used to sum up the state of modern TV and the "creative" process behind it:
WORTH: "You either use it or admit it's pointless"
QUENTIN: "But it IS pointless!"
WORTH: "Quentin, that's my point..."
So there are only certain shows I can really get into. Once again, no long lists - here are a few highlights:
Doctor Who
QI
The Wire
And anything involving Charlie Brooker!
Books
I seriously need to give myself time to start reading regularly again - The Dice Man is jst begging me to finish it, plus there's a stack of Rollins and Palahniuk waiting to be explored... Arthur C. Clarke's books were always intriguing, and I really need to get into Asimov.
Heroes
Anyone who has understood that we still have everything in the world to learn and has taken to doing something about it! :)

Haha, yeah other peoples boobs are usually the BEST kind! :)
It's been forever man, what have you been up to? I saw your pic the other day when browsing thru my friends and wondered what you'd been up to... what a pleasant surprise to hear from you.
I'm working in radio and writing songs, staying fairly busy between the two. Looking forward to summer and seeing lots of... BOOBS!

dan my good man, i have recently thrown together a makeshift cover for the EP that i will be throwing together when carl gets around to sending me the tracks you recorded, asking opinions from you, simo and carl to see if it's any good cheers (it seems myspace likes to shrink these pictures because they're quite big, so right click them and go on "view image" to see it in it's full resolution/glory) front cover:
