• Philip K. Dick Yes, I'm a Dickhead. It can take 5 books to "get" Dicks paranoid magic universe, but it's worth it. Start with the 50s short stories.
• Lord of the Rings The movie trilogy is starting this Christmas. It looks good!
• Dune Avoid the movie! And books 2-4. Haven't seen the tv series yet
• Donald Duck comics by Carl Barks. Sadly, the best comic ever is completely unknown in it's homeland.

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer My current obsession. Who would have thought horror, comedy and teenage drama could mix so well?
• The Tick The animated show is the Best Show Ever. I don't really like the comic. The live action show is starting on Fox soon!!

• I used to be a Xena man, but the latest seasons have been dull.
• Tivo Don't watch TV without it! But why did I have to buy those stocks?

M y    D V D s    

• Run Lola Run You could call it a 90 minute german rock video gangster movie about the human condition.
• Matrix.
• Blazing Saddles Mel Brooks finest hour and a half. Could such a non PC movie be made today?

• Terminator 2 I say it's PK Dick inspired!
• Monthy Python and the Holy Grail The only movie I've seen more than 10 times in theaters.
• Reservoir Dogs When evil fights evil, you don't know who's gonna win. A true thriller. And no, it's not violent, it's intense.
• Show Me Love This was bigger than Titanic in Sweden. My brother in law did the sound! It's about being 14 and different. The Swedish title (Fucking Åmål) is much better, but is oddly untranslatable to English
• Alien Good
• Aliens Even better. Avoid 3 & 4!
• Trigun I'm trying to get into Anime. This one's pretty cool.
