Other than the usual hanging out stuff (pool, ping pong, bowling, etc.), I have a big interest in music and movies.
.
Movies. Love them. I can watch just about any type of movie, although I tend to stay away from the more ‘typical’ Romance and Horror films, although even then there are diamonds buried in the rough. I guess I’d consider Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a romantic comedy, and that is my favorite film of all time. Regarding horror films, Let The Right One In / Let Me In rank pretty high up on my favorites list, and the excellent The Descent was legitimately scary; probably the scariest film I’ve seen in 10 years.
Also, B-Movie giant monster films are f***ing awesome. Anyone interested in the like and has not seen Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus or Titanic II needs to get Netflix’s Instant Stream and watch them. Now.

A few of my favorite films, not in any order save for the first two:
Eternal Sunshine (…) / The Matrix / Children of Men / Pan’s Labyrinth / There Will Be Blood / Let The Right One In / Let Me In / Toy Story / The Dark Knight / Pulp Fiction
.
Music. Love it. ABSOLUTELY f***ing love it. Some of the genres I listen to:
.
Ambient / Minimalist / Post-Rock / Alternative Rock / Grunge / Indie Rock / Hard Rock / Progressive Rock / Progressive Metal / Thrash Metal / Groove Metal / Death Metal / Melodic Death Metal / Blackened Death Metal / Metalcore
.
I also listen to a bit of Rap; mostly, Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP, Mos Def’s The Ecstatic, and Shabazz Palaces’ Black Up. I’m also a big fan of Cee Lo Green’s The Lady Killer (whatever you would classify that as), and enjoy a few songs off of Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

I used to keep track of every album I had (in case I lost my physical copies or something similar), but stopped bothering in August of last year. Here:
