| Age Group | Early 30s. |
| Video Likes | Theatre of the absurd and a really well-written script. I've also got a deep and unironic love for Z-grade stuff. |
| Video Dislikes | The words "Adam Sandler is" before a title are a pretty good warning sign. |
| Audio Likes | Anything from nerd rock to German opera. |
| Audio Dislikes | So-called "popular" music where a mediocre soprano overuses vibrato rather than talent. |
| Favourite DVDs | Criterion's versions of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Brazil, the SE of This is Spinal Tap and the Ilsa Trilogy boxed set |
| Least Favourite DVDs | The American copy of An American Werewolf in Paris that I spent A$60 on and found the Australian version of three months later in a bargain bin for $12. |
| Most Eagerly Awaited DVDs | More season sets of The Muppet Show, more editions of the Looney Tunes Golden Collections, Seasons 2 & 3 of the Upright Citizens Brigade and more Mystery Science Theater 3000 releases. |
| Titanic | Gave me a whole new reason to hate Celine Dion, but I almost bought a second-hand copy of the DVD just so that I could watch Leonardo DiCaprio die. Over and over again. In slow motion. |
| The Matrix | A movie with an overrated premise that wasn't as original as it was claimed, but a great disc for showing off a system. |
| Terminator 2 | A nice little bit of escapism, but whose effects are showing their age. |
| Star Wars | It took long enough. I'm a little cranky that I had to buy four discs when I was only ever going to watch two, though. |
| Godzilla | The fact that Shock is bringing them out in double-packs means that it's much more affordable to pick up a collection, but it means you get stuck with some duds as well. I mean, why would you want to own Godzilla vs the Cosmic Monster, even as a freebie with Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters? |
| Independence Day | Made me really proud to be an American - right up until I realised I wasn't one. |
