Gotta Get Jump Started

So, this is a meme from over at Culture Kills. It gets me posting, right?

(Between work and a minor health thing, I just haven't had the posting jones in me. Sorry)

Basically, it's like 5 questions about various forms of culture. I can dig that alright.

Literature:

Best books you read in school: The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon, Night by Elie Wiesel

Books you hated in school: Beloved.

Book you keep meaning to read but haven't gotten around to: Babylon by Bus. Got it as a gift and I keep putting it off.

Favorite Author: Really depends on the moment.

Place from a book you'd like to inhabit: Dunno. The Shire maybe?

Gaming:

Most satisfying plot-related death: Wesker in Resident Evil. I was a bit miffed when I heard he wasn't really dead or something.

Most satisfying ending: I really liked the Final Fantasy VII ending, which is like, blasphemy.

Most Disappointing ending: Mega Man II. I have no idea. He walks along and along and then he's gone and he left his helmet behind.

Favorite lead character: Hrm. Link maybe. Maybe Leon Kennedy.

Game you wish you could play but can't: Dunno, Halo I guess. No Xbox for me.

Television:

Favorite show all time: Hrm. Simpsons, probably.

Favorite Theme Song: The A-Team, Airwolf, The Rockford Files, M*A*S*H.

Have you ever bought a series on DVD that you didn't watch on TV first: I think Sports Night might count. I sorta saw it on TV first, but not really.

If you had to stop watching a particular show, which would be your first choice: Hard to say. Right now I'd probably go with My Name Is Earl. It's still funny, but not as brilliant as it started.

Should NYPD Blue-style swearing and partial nudity be back on the air: Sure, but not if the partial nudity is Denis Franz' backside.

Film:

Best Shootout: The end of Heat.

Best Car Chase: Either the French Connection, or The Bourne Identity. I love the "uhm, so, uhm...we got kind of a bump coming up" right before they go down a stair well.

Best Fight Sequence: The Narrator vs. Himself in Fight Club.

Character actor you love to hate: Does William Zabka count? If not, Paul Gleason was pretty good at that.

Someone who should be in every movie released this year: Me. Box office gold.

Humpday Haiku 10/3

Oh, Ninja. So spry

How did you get way up there?

Reason for your name.
