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.
Best car chase was the one in the original 'gone in 60 seconds', 40 minutes of pure bliss. Check it out if you get the chance
ReplyDeleteTrying not to picture Dennis Franz' partial nudity backside...
ReplyDeleteBest car chase - what about that one through the streets of San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you about MASH - first two notes and the image of the helicopter springs to mind.
Am I the only person in the world who has never seen an episode of the Simpsons, not even 1 seconds worth?
Wow. I am disgracefully behind on visiting blogs. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteI *loved* the end of Heat. I also loved the scene, earlier in the movie, when Pacino says "and she's got a GREAT ass!!" and his eyes bug out of his head.
Hope you're feeling better.
I cannot believe there is someone who has never seen the Simpsons - that is the only reason that Fox has to exist.
