Favorite bands: Coheed and Cambria is my favorite, but I've said that. But I can just listen to their entire albums for hours. I'll do my best from here to think of bands I like beyond just a song or two... Owl City (it's like the cotton candy of music! It's nothing but air and sugar.) Relient K, My Chemical Romance, but all the stuff I like is on the Black Parade album, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, The Rat Pack (especially Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé (he's like the crooner of today), All Time Low, Mayday Parade (they're deliciously generic), A Day to Remember (at least the more melodic, less screaming stuff), Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Billy Joel, Huey Lewis & the News, Maroon 5 (though super hit or miss), Hot Chelle Rae, Phil Collins (from Genesis to his newer solo stuff), A Perfect Circle, Soundgarden has some really good stuff Mitchell Jackson (from the Jackson 5 all the way to the end (though I really hate the song Thriller)), Dropkick Murphys, lots of 90's stuff like Sum 41 (did you know they still tour!?), Blink 182 always has an angsty place in my heart, Smashmouth, Nine Days (they made the song Absolutely everyone remembers as Story of a Girl), Sugar Ray, Green Day (at least the old stuff), Barenaked Ladies, Savage Garden, even into the "Adult Contemporairy" genre of the 90s (and it includes Alanis Morisette), all kinds of Disney and Musical music, random music off kids shows (including theme songs to TV shows from aaaaaall the way back all the way to now), all kinds of video game music, lots of differen choir and folk song stuff (like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCw4O_L1LFQ&list=RDiCw4O_L1LFQ#t=2) amazing Irish folk playlist), and while writing this I had on [Rainy Mood](http://www.rainymood.com/) combined with [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnrl0tmd3k), a bit of jazz.

Favorite movies: My favorite movie of all time is Lucky Number Slevin, then there's Blade Runner, The Usual Suspects, Shutter Island, Cloud Atlas, The Prestige,  Seven, Inception, Dark City, Solaris (I want to include the Russian version... but it's... so... long...), (you might notice all the listed movies are "figure it out" kind of movies, and I love them for it), The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, Citizen Kain, Pulp Fiction, The LotR/The Hobbit movies, Fight Club, Forest Gump, The Matrics (and The Animatrix), Once Upon a Time in Mexico (Johnny Depp's best movie, IMO), the Indiana Jones movies, the Star Wars movies, American Psycho, Terminators 1-3, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, all the Alien movies (including Resurrection), basically every Hitchcock movie (but my two favroties are North by Northwest and Rear Window), basically every Kubrick movie, Gattaca, all the Riddick movies, Kill Bill 1/2,  500 days of Summer, Friends with Benefits, both Girl with the Dragon Tattoos, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, all the Die Hard movies (I watch the original every Christmas), Pan's Labrynth, The Labrynth, V for Vendetta (but I get annoyed at all those people going crazy every Nobember 5th), Gone With the Wind, Shanghai Noon (also known as the only good Owen Wilson movie), all the Rush Hours and Lethal Weapons, The Princess Bride, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Grapes of Wrath, The Imitation Game, all the Harry Potter movies, Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and 4, Jurrassic Park (I actually really love all 3, and am super excited for Jurassic World, even if it will be super-campy), The Graduate, and almost everything Disney/Pixar/Jim Henson, so I won't bother with specific ones. I love a lot of movies for a lot of different reasons. Like the Riddick movies are amazing popcorn action flicks to watch Vin Diesel be a badass, others really appeal to me on a deeper level like Blade Runner, Lucky Number Slevin, etc, and others still like Citizen Kane I love as pieces of amazing cinema (acting, directing, etc). They're films I like to watch to analyze film. Yeah, this list was hard, and there's so much to put into it for so many reasons.

TV Shows: It seems like inevitably all the great shows get ran for too long, and they drop down really hard, or they suffer from following their formula too strictly for too long and just be stale. Because of that, I don't think I have more than one favorite TV show. But there are lots of shows that are amazing most of the series, and I love them for most of it, or at least part of it.

My favorite show is Malcolm in the Middle, it's sharp, witty, and one of those shows where the older you get when you watch it, the more you relate to different characters for different reasons. Next would be Supernatural, which would be my number 1 show if it had actually stopped at the end of season 5 like it was supposed to. Going from there we have Batman: The Animated serise (and associated movies) (this series is easily the greatest non-comic Batman creation ever made, and that's coming from a major Batman fan), Buffy, Angel, Gilmore Girls, The Golden Girls, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, House (man does it suffer from being repetitive though, and really was super meh in the last season), crime dramas of any type, but I especially love Law and Order: SVI (and the only Law and Order I don't like is Criminal Intent), there's lots of kids shows from my childhood I love like Gummi Bears, Pete and Pete, Salute your Shorts, All that, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Doug, Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Invader Zim, As Told by Ginger, Chalk Zone, The Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Courage the Cowardly Dog, (this list seems like it could go on forever), back to other stuff Smallville, Boy Meets World, Get Smart, Key and Peele, ReBoot, Star Trek in the following order: Voyager, The Next Generation, The Original Series, Deep Space 9, and the only good thing about Enterprise was its intro, The Boondocks, I mentioned The Simpsons and South Park already, Futurama, Archer, The Twilight Zone, The Newsroom, Xena Warrior Princess, The Daily Show (goodbye, John Stewart), The Colbert Report (goodbye Steve Colbert), Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, the miniseries Tinman, The Wire, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Friends, Seinfeld, Firefly (but it isn't the greatest thing ever like people say), Top Gear UK, Sliders, Black Adder, Whose Line is it Anyway (when Drew Carey was still on), The Drew Carey Show, The Muppet Show, Fringe, M*A*S*H, and a bunch more I can't remember...

Musicals/plays deserves their own section. My favorite musical is My Fair Lady, and my favorite play is Our Town. Wicked is a close second. I'm a big fan of Shakespeare. It's fairly okay reading, but seeing the plays live is fantastic. I really love The Glass Menagerie too. Then there's Chicago, Sweeney Todd, Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, Oklahoma, The Music Man, Little Shop of Horrors, The Producers, Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon, Jesus christ Superstar, Les Miserables, The Sound of Music, Hairspray, The Phantom of the Opera, The Secret Garden, Mary Poppins (maybe fits in movies better?), Annie, Annie Get Your Gun, Bye Bye Birdie (I also love the movie version with Jason Alexander best), and some more I can't think of here.

BOOK! I love books. My favorite book is The Name of the Wind. My favorite series is The Wheel of Time, but Jordan's successor has a series called The Stormlight Archive that will likely take its place when it's done. A lot of stuff I read is high fantasy, but there's plenty of classic stuff I'm sure you'll recognize. I'm a huge huge huge huge fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work and love all things Sherlock Holmes. (I actually hate moves TV/movie adaptations of Holmes, as they always get the character *completely* wrong.) I'm also a huge Lewis Carol fan, and love the Alice books. Kidnapped, The Man in the Iron Mask, To Kill a Mockingbird (yeah, I liked it when I read it in school), Alas Babylon, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn, The Count of Monte Cristo,  (fantasy time) every Sanderson Cosmere novel (it'd take a while to explain, faster to google), The Lightbringer series, Aaaaaall the Shannara books, The Earthsea books, The Saga of Recluse, The Malazan Book of the Fallen (one of the deepest and most complex fantasy books I've ever read, but I refuse to recommend it to anyone, as it's just so incredibly difficult to read), The Gentleman Bastard series, The Inheretence Cycle (terrible ending though), of course J.R.R. Tolkien's work, and Harry Potter, all of Robin Hobb's books set in the universe containing The Six Dutchies (hard to explain...), Kingmaker Kingbreaker series, The Dragonlance series, and the list goes oooon and ooooon. Even here, even though it doesn't seem like it, I've listed *well* over a hundred books (because of how a lot of fantasy series work).

I'm not terribly into poetry, but I do love Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Frost, and Emily Dickenson.

I know you're not into video games, so I'll make this short. My three top favorite games in order are: Chrono Trigger, Dark Souls, and To The Moon. With To The Moon I have an open invitation to literally anyone that I'll buy the game if they guarantee me they'll play it through (only takes 5 hours), because I think the story is so wonderful I want everyone to experience it (and, fortunately, the game is designed so that even the most inept at video games can play it fine).
