Hobbies:

Conspiracy theories and the possibilities; food for the senses--music, movies (also w/"smell-o-vision" now available in select Japanese theaters!), anything media-related (except the diabolically-driven ones as far as I can tell a/k/a damn the currently archaic econometric, short-term, cutthroat-over-cooperative competitive, "It's a 'business decision'", bucket-head, bottom-line, bureaucratically nomenclative, numbers-crunching, paper-over-people profiteering, product-pushing, enslave-the-widget-working employee belief! If we can put a $-figure on everything from the core of Mother Earth to the far reaches of Milky Way, then we can put a $-amount to value our thoughts, emotions, and souls. Then we'll know what it means to "sell your soul!"

Movies:

The Matrix Trilogy, The Corporation (Documentary), Big Fish, Little Miss Sunshine, The Last Samurai, The Pursuit Of Happyness, Friday Night Lights, Crash, 無間道 (Chinese original trilogy of The Departed; it's just better!), FahrenHYPE 9/11 (Documentary), Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan, The Secret, Contact, Nacho Libre, Macross Plus, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (haven't seen the sequel yet! :\), Hustle & Flow, Ninja Scroll, The Bourne Trilogy, Top Gun, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Sunshine, The Motorcycle Diaries, Office Space, Superbad, Rize (Documentary), Juno, Whale Rider, Living The Matrix, Transformers, anything on the big screen that has at least a decent story but must have BING! BANG! BOOM! (this excludes porn, perverts).
