Favorite TV show: 24, Lost (only seen 3 episodes but am hooked), Smallville, Sopranos, South Park, Little Britain, and for an oldie, Robin Of Sherwood.
Best Current show: Lost
Best Cartoon ever: Not really into cartoons or anything animated. Suppose I quite liked tom & Jerry when I was a kid. South Park though, if that counts.
Favorite Book Fiction: Definitely -not- LoTR. I give that homage for breathing so much life into the genre I love. But nowhere near the best for me. Raymond E Feist's early books. Anything by Robin Hobb. Tad Williams. George R R Martin. Couldnt choose between them for the best.
Most life changing book: Illusion by Richard Bach. If you havent read that, or Jonathan Livingston Seagull...well all I can say is his books have had a huge impact for me and a lot of people I know.
Favorite non-fiction: Menu in a nice restaurant? Wine list!? :0) Film reviews.
Most wanted superpower: Id settle for the answer to three questions. What the three questions would be...hell knows, but Id have fun deciding!
Best game ever: NWN. Simply never known a CRPG with the life of this monster. Really enjoyed UO online too, as how Sol and I first met. Single player, Planescape: Torment. Any of the Civ Games. Any of the old infocom adventures (zork, leather godesses of phobos!, etc), the old TSR D&D games (pools of rad, curse of azure bonds, etc), Bards Tale, and 1 less known...the Longest Journey. Best adventure game, and most immersive I ever played. Few years old now, but well worth a look, especially as theyve been making a sequel for last year and a half.
Unseen movie I must see: Five children and It. Because my best friends twin baby boys play the baby in the movie. Other than that, if there is a movie I want to see, it gets seen! :0)
Favorite past time: Playing with the emotions of Vives PCs before horribly maiming and killing them!
Cya,

Okay, I'll play, just in case anyone wanted to know this much about me ;)
Favourite Movies: The English Patient, Schindler's List, The Princess Bride, this obscure movie called Smoke Signals, ummm..Sex Lies and Videotape...I'm sure there are more, but this will do I think
Worst Movie paid to see: Man on Fire - I would have left if I had driven myself to it
Favorite Actors: Kevin Kline, Helena Bonham Carter
Favorite Songs: I want you to want me - either the original or the one that Gwen Stefani did with someone else whose name I unfortunately can't remember right now. Either that or "Ain't no Sunshine When She's Gone" Lenny Kravitz version. Ooh...and this song called "In My Backyard" that Ken found somewhere by someone whose name I can't remember (and I'm at work so I can't look now)
Favorite Bands/Singers: Dead Can Dance, Tangerine Dream, Sara McLachlan, was digging Maroon 5 for a while but kind of burnt out, Robbie Robertson (mostly his Music for Native Americans CD), Primeaux and Mike, this really cool "Moroccan Spirit" CD by various artists, Walela, cheesy 80's rock/pop, lots of little obscure things I happen upon.
Favorite Meal: atm anything I see on TV and immediately start to crave until I see the next thing on TV. Sonic commercials suck! (bear in mind I'm about to have a baby...it's all his fault!)

Region you live: Southwest Michigan (commonly called Midwest, for some non-sensical reason)
First car: 79 Chevy Impala, light blue...aka..the couch on wheels
Favorite TV shows: Buffy (yep, I'm a geek but I can't help it) That's the only show I've ever watched with any consistency so we'll leave it there.

Best Cartoon ever: Okay, I'll date myself from when I watched cartoons. How about...Voltron! Or Thundercats! lol...Adult Swim keeps me pretty entertained at times.
Favorite Book Fiction: I don't really have a favorite fiction. Terry Goodkinds "Sword of Truth" is one I've read more than once. Laurell K. Hamiltons vampire series is entertaining in a light way. I've enjoyed most of Morgan Llewellyns books as well.

Favorite non-fiction: The Four Agreements series, CWG series, Essential Reiki by Diane Stein, Hank Wesselman's books
Most wanted superpower: flying would be fun, and save on gas, too
Best games ever: NWN is the only one that held my attention for very long so far
Unseen movie I must see: I'm sure I have my list somewhere. Nothing strikes me off the top of my head.
Favorite past time: reading/writing, hiking in the park
Favorite Quote: hmm...I can't pick just one. How about:
In every artist there is a germ of recklessness without which talent is inconceivable.
Randall Jerrell
or
It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Braveheart
You will now be banned from the forums for a total lack of taste, mate. :P
That movie is insulting, a total farce, and so innacurate that LOTR could be presented as fact and be more accurate.
That is all. Carry on.

Wait, so is Braveheart insulting because of it being a total farce and innacurate, or for some other reason? I myself have always enjoyed the film, though I could never take it seriously, like most of Gibson's work. Really, when has he ever not played some form of the lone wolf crazy person?
edit: Note that I said I enjoyed it, like many of his films, but could not take it seriously. Johe :P. And yes, MM does rule. |
Do not ask of them questions. You will receive three answers, all of which are true and horrifying to know. |
