As a writer of fiction and as someone who's interested in the film/TV genre, I find myself watching a lot of TV and movies. This viewing catalyzes my creative juices and helps me get stories going. As I watch these shows, I analyze the story line, the acting, the music, the photography, etc. I like to see what works and what doesn't. And hopefully the good stuff will transfer to my work.
In the near future, I see myself writing music and screenplays for films and/or TV. I'm already working on my first project - it could be my first breakthrough.
This page will always be a work in progress - as they keep coming up with new stuff. There's not much on this page now, but stay tuned, and I'll add more as time allows.
Want to watch TV shows / movies for free? Check out Hulu.com. This is an impressive website with good quality. The shows are interrupted by minimal short commercials. They also have a few big name movies.
On TV now - Here's a list of shows I'm watching now.
LOST
Flash Forward (a nice breath of fresh air)
Fringe
Chuck
V (has its moments - I hope they don't ruin the idea)
24 (this season is better than last year's - a good year to end it
The Simpsons
The Office

Off season shows:
