Most games that reward foresight and strategy over twitch reflexes. MMO's MMORPG'S, RPG's and RTS's. I enjoy the occasional FPS mainly for the sake of multiplayer. I despise games made specifically to showcase graphics and gore, with no innovations in terms of gameplay and design.

Everything by Quentin Tarrantino. Most Akira Kurosawa films. Most Martial Arts films. Most recent comic-based movies. Anything with an engaging and well presented story, bonus points for innovative film work and good use of special effects.

Sci Fi: William Gibson, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein.
Fantasy: George RR Martin, Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan.
Non Fiction: Sartre, Russel, Nietzche, Aquinas, Aristotle, Plato, Macciavelli, Sun Tzu.

Blues, Jazz, Regae, Early Country, Rock, Metal, Punk, Screamo, Some Rap etc. Won't tolerate most new Pop, Rap, or Country.

IMDb, Google, Wikipedia, Elitest Jerks.

Scrubs, South Park, Family Guy, Simpsons, Arrested Development.

Don't watch enough TV to follow plotlines, so most episodes have to have merit on a show by show basis. Occasionally download a series based on the opinion of someone I respect, or borrow a box set.
