Recommendations so far:
Movies
- City of God - Watched it 6/18. Pretty good, worth watching. Probably not good enough that I would go out of my way to recommend it to someone several times though...
- Bad Education
- Equilibrium
- The Machinist
- Motorcycle Diaries
- Spiderman 1 or 2 -I suppose I'll probably watch these one day, but I don't usually have much interest in comic book movies. Batman Begins was awesome though.
- Taxi Driver - I've seen this, good movie.
- Waking Life
- The Primer
Music
- The Shins - They aren't available on my Yahoo service, so I doubt I'll check them out.

- Arrested Development
- The Shield -I've seen this show a little bit. It does look pretty good.

I've seen Taxi Driver.
I've occassionally watched the Shield, and it is prettty good.
The Language Instinct is excellent, as are all of Pinker's books.
Thanks for the recommendations
The Machinist is really good, but a MUST SEE is: The Primer. It's one of the best films I've ever seen. Angels in America (the mini series) was also very good.
Movie: The Twilight Samurai
is pretty good. i thought the last ten minutes were pretty dumb though, like in finding neverland.
