5. What kind of films do you enjoy?

    Films created as art, which entertain me. I always loved Maya Derens films, and I quite like early Russian Montage and German Expressionism. Many Bollywood films are also quite entertaining to me (though I have seen no more than a dozen or so). I like Tarkovsky (particulary Stalker), Kieslowski (Three Colours series is just wonderful). And of course Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo films.

    Comics, mostly. The collection is over 14,000 issues these days. A lot of Marvel, Vertigo, 2000AD, and independants like Wolff & Byrd, The Tick and other such madness. And Questing stories (books here - no pictures even) like Redwall, Asimov's Universe, Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings (again books - not Jackson films).

    Bicycling, logic puzzles, cooking, painting.
