Movies
Silent movies in general, anything by Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, or the German Expressionists. I also like movies about pirates, vampires, and misunderstood monsters. I love animation -- stop motion, anime -- old cartoons too. I think movie previews are a poor replacement for cartoon shorts and newsreels.
Television
The Tudors, Peter Gunn, Quantum Leap, Dead Like Me, MadMen, Reaper, Buffy, No Reservations, Twilight Zone, Star Trek, The Lone Gunmen, Eureka.
Books
Terry Pratchett, Shakespeare, Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, You (perhaps...).
Again, for all the records, "About LPZD":
We are an independent publications production and distribution network (that hasn't done much of either in recent times--but let's just keep that between us, okay?).
Heroes
My parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, my aunts and uncles, artists that have persisted in their work whether anyone liked it or not, poets that are true to themselves, storytellers, makers of music, singers of songs, dancers and ramblers, and that what asks for no applause (but gets it anyway, at least from me--and probably everyone and everything else, if you stop to listen about it).

"I used to think "Nobody ever died of a broken heart!" but these days I tend to think that's what everyone dies of sooner or later; this life, this world, breaking your heart."
"Having recently fallen through a minor tear in the fabric of space, I'm not really sure of where I am or what is going on...YET. In my pocket I have a packet of salt, a pen, a scrap of paper, a stick of gum, and some loose change. I also have my towel. Equipped as I am, I should be out of this quandary in a jiffy..." ~"Nan C.

Hack Attack Updates: 2009 Attack of the lP Jackers, and Original 2005 Attack...
Old News Update: At the beginning of the month I wrote "April 2, 2009: This account, and many lpzd & nan c. / stena-related accounts appear to currently be under some kind of hack attack. Please standby, but be warned --I'm not necessarily the one emailing you! I truly hate this situation, and hope it resolves soon. Regards, ~stena." --AND NOW?
Is it "all better" now? Who truly knows.
I'm still blocked some places as a "spammer" with no apparent recourse, but beyond that, I guess things are okay. No one has sent me any "WTF!" email reports asking me why I'm such a jerk with me having to explain that it probably wasn't me. Actually, there was only one email like that, and actually...it was me that sent them that (email). Needless to say, I'm not on their friends list anymore! :D Life! It's always something... WELL, that's all on this subject for now (and I hope, ever). Thanks again for your patience through this time of weirdness. ~stena. ^_^/
Really Old News: JUNE 22, 2005 -- "This profile appears to have been hacked...
So what's it gunna be, cowardly profile-snatchers? Will I log in to find that you have made the background a sea of pink bunnies?! *sigh* You can choose your journal friends, but you can't choose your hackers."~The Great Hack Attack Panic of AD '05
Who I'd like to meet: Anybody that is supportive of DIY independent publication and production.
