Off Topic: Favorite songs/movies/shows

[raynor]

My favorite Sci-Fi series of all time is Babylon 5. Up until now, the Sci-Fi channel has been my very best friend because they are showing both B5 and ST:TOS. But...

TNN (formerly The Nashville Network) but now reborn as The National Network has bought up the rights for Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and Star Trek: Voyager. They are scheduled to begin showing ST: TNG this fall 2001. Whoop!

Hrm.

Music -- I used to wake up to either an oldies station or a 'classic rock' station. Simon & Garfunkel, the Drifters, the Temptations, Steppenwolf, occasionally jazz or classical... whatever. Rarely anything recent 'tho, and no rap or "boy band" abominations.

Movies -- Again varied. Everything from Godzilla movies (*only* the classic man-in-the-rubber-suit ones, 'tho, not the recent CGI heresy), to the Alien/Aliens, to war movies (_Stalag 17_, _Bridge over the River Kwai_, _The Thin Red Line_, many more...), misc. action/suspense (Hrm. _Goldfinger_, _T2_) to interesting dramas like _Shawshank Redemption_, _Treasure of the Sierra Madre_ and Casablanca. Not fond of romantic "comedies", gross-out movies, overly predictable stuff, or slasher horror. Oh, and I watch the occasional bit of Extra Cheese (_Escape from L.A._ and _Army of Darkness_ are two well-done examples IMHO).


TV -- occasionally Frontline or Nova, _Washington Week in Review_, _Wall Street Week_, some Simpsons episodes, occasionally _West Wing_.

Movies Aliens (didn't care for Alien3 or Resurrection all that much) I liked the Laser Disc Version not sure how the Special Edition differs since I haven't seen that one yet. T1/T2, True Lies, The Last Boy Scout, Die Hard, Red Dawn (bad plotline, but a sem-decent action flick), Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man (the one with Mickey Rourke)

Music I tend towards loud, some of Ministry's older stuff, White Zombie/Rob Zombie, AC DC, Aerosmith etc. I tend to listen to just about anything though if I'm in the mood. I do have a thing for theme songs and game music though, like the opening songs to Mask of the Phantasm and Batman Beyond. I love the blues song played during the Manhattan Project clip in Civ II (ps if anyone knows the title of this song I'll be your friend for life, I wrote customer service and they had no clue where the song is from), the driving music from Fallout II, and the intro to Brotherhood of Steel.

I don't watch a lot of TV but I do like Dark Angel and 7 Days. Special Unit 2 is kind of campy but is good for a laugh.

Movies/Videos: Steel Magnolias, I know What You Did Last Summer 8 (or whatever number they are on now), Random Hearts (Harrison Ford's best movie ever), Richard Simmons Rocking to the Oldies, and The Rugrats Take Paris.

Music: Brittany Spears, The Dixie Chicks, Cindy Lauper, Erasure, N-Synch, and Snoop Doggy Dog. Almost forgot, anything by Cathy Lee Gifford.

Shows: Touched by an Angel, Seventh Heaven, Emeril Live, and the Best real science fiction ever made, Roswell.

OK sorry Classic and southern rock, sensible action movies are pretty much it. Don't watch much TV except news and CSI.
