Re: So have you heard about...
Books: "The Mindjack Trilogy," by Susan Kaye Quinn. It's set in a moderately distant future Chicago where everyone develops mind-reading powers at puberty and those who don't are known as Zeros and are pitied at best. Kira thinks she's a Zero, until an incident with her best friend/crush causes a jerky classmate to reveal that she, like him, is a Mindjacker who can control the thoughts of others and can choose whether or not to let them hear her thoughts. At first she just wants to masquerade as a normal Reader who changed late, but then the jerk tries to initiate her into a secret Mindjacker society and she freaks out and they all get busted and sent to a Jacker internment camp. And then things start to go to hell. And that's the first book! It's not brilliant, but it is fun and engaging, and while the protagonist makes a lot mistakes and can be angsty and immature, she's also a determinator who cares deeply for the people in her life and can be counted on to make the hard choices to do what's right in the long run, even if it means she's going to suffer big-time as an immediate result. It's sort of like Hunger Games, specifically Mockingjay, because Kira does eventually become a political/combat leader in fighting for Jacker rights. At any rate, I love this series to death.
Also, Jim C. Hines books need a lot more love. Whether you start with the Goblin Trilogy, the Princess series or his as-of-yet unfinished Magic Ex Libris series, you really can't go wrong. He's a brilliant and funny writer who is worthy of love, and also is a pretty cool guy eh does sexy pinup photoshoots in skimpy attire and doesn't afraid of anything.
Videogames: The Bard's Tale (PS2), Project Eden (PC/PS2), Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force (PC/PS2), Shogo: Mobile Armor Division (PC), Dark Cloud/2 (PS2), The World Ends With You (DS) and I'm not sure if No More Heroes/2 qualifies, but I'm adding it anyway.
TV: Shark (CBS, 2006-2008). I admit I started watching for Jeri Ryan, but it was overall a really good show with a solid cast that had good chemistry. Also, the fandom was the best I've ever been in. Good times, good times.
Movies: Eulogy (2004). It's a black comedy about a dysfunctional family at their father's/grandfather's funeral. There's lots of cursing, pot-smoking and lesbians and cursing, pot-smoking lesbians and Ray Romano playing a total sleazebag and a twist near the end that basically sucker-punches the whole family and it ends with a make-shift viking funeral. Oh, and Zooey Deschanel is the only normal one. Well, normal-ish.
Also, Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical never fails to fill me with happy.
"Yeah, you're not so tough!
You once had all the brains
Now they're just carpet stains
You're in no shape to fight
My bid to make things right
'Cause there's blood upon your necktie
Your corpus is delecti
And I have been delivered from the stuff!"
