For my ethnography, I will be interviewing one of my good friends. His name is David, and we have known each other for about 10 years now. We have a lot of the same interests when it comes to pop culture, but there are specific areas where we differ drastically. For example, we both are obsessed with Freaks and Geeks (and pretty much anything Judd Apatow-related), How I Met Your Mother, Juno, DeGrassi, and Weeds. I'd like to find out more about the places where our interests differ, and whether or not he likes the Terminator movies (or hates them?).
Here are some of the questions I am thinking about asking:
- Describe your pop culture consumption. What movies, tv shows, music, etc. are you a fan of, and why?
- Do you enjoy action movies? Arnold Schwarzenegger movies in general? Are you a fan of the Terminator trilogy? Which is your favorite?
- If you were in the midst of writing you autobiography, what would the chapter covering this part of your life be called?
- Do you have any traditions that revolve around elements of popular culture?
- Have you watched the tv show "The Sarah Connor Chronicles"? If so, how do you think it compares to the Terminator movies?

These seem like good questions to me. The only thing I can think of is to ask about what he would label the different chapters of his life to get a broader sense of how he thinks.
