Favorite Movie?

Favorite Movie?

Good question. It's several years old, but "The Incredibles" keeps popping up on my list of favorite movies. So does "The Matrix" and "Gross Pointe Blank." "Phantom of the Opera" is pretty good, too.

I suppose you could say I have eclectic tastes.

Least favorite movie?

Ugh, where to begin? The other two Matrix movies? Star Wars Episode 1? Every single Harry Potter flick?

For me, though, the one film that really takes the case would be Hulk. Always one of my favorite Marvel characters because it was a comic book adaptation of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," they pretty much did everything they could to make this movie just absolutely suck. Exploding frogs, Hulk-poodles, the implication that the Hulk was big due to water retention... and then it tries to wrap things up with an extremely cheesy CGI battle sequence that did little more but add a firecracker on a poop-flavored cake.

They promised to revamp the franchise with "The Incredible Hulk," but I was already turned off as it was. I didn't see the Hulk again until the first Avengers movie. They did him right in that one.

Favorite book? Someone may have asked this, I can't keep all the "Ask whoever" topics straight.

I think someone did, but my "Ask The Member" thread is too long for me to dig through it and post again.

I don't really have a favorite book. As an English major, it's hard enough for me to narrow it down to a favorite genre. There are a couple books that I heartily recommend that people read, though. These are Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and George Orwell's 1984. Both are cautionary tales of what could happen if science and socialism, respectively, are allowed too go too far. In my opinion, these are two books which any student must read before graduating high school, and should have read at least twice before graduating college, no matter what degree they're pursuing.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do...for awhile there, the Firebird trilogy was a yearly read for me. You may read it and wonder why. XD

Freshly griddled steak, sliced wafer-thin; tomatoes, lettuce, provolone cheese, mayo, black olives, pickles, banana peppers, and pickled jalapeno's all served on a foot-long freshly baked loaf of bread with a structure and flavor resembling a quality Italian loaf. If you get it fully loaded.

It's basically a Philly cheese made with quality ingredients and fresh vegetables instead of bagged buns, grilled peppers and canned cheese sauce. Not that I have a problem with that...

It's hard to get a good nap in a car?

Interesting! I'm not that fond of peppers, though, and I prefer my tomatoes sauced. But it sounds like the restaurant may have other items to consider!

Depends on the car. And the quality of the road, of course.

And whether or not you have kids. Have you ever tried to take a nap in the car but the kids keep screaming in your ear "Dad! Wake up! Keep your eyes on the road!" That does make it hard....

Kids yelling in the backseat while you are driving?

That does tend to be annoying. Especially when I'm trying to take a nap.

Actually, kids yelling tends to be annoying, anyway. Most of the time, it's one of them trying to get another one in trouble... or trying to cover up something they just did. Often by trying to pin it on one of their siblings. But, such is life....

Favorite Country?

ZappierVirus wrote:Favorite Country?

Real, or fictional?

Of real countries, one I'd have to say would be Scotland, since I am of Scottish heritage. But Australia is a pretty cool place as well. I wouldn't mind visiting both, someday.

As for fictional countries, Narnia might be a fun place to visit!

Do you like the Giant Mushrooms in Minecraft?

I love 'em - especially the red ones! I'm glad that JesusIsLord was willing to provide me with the materials to fix the broken one on my property (he'll be mentioned in one of my upcoming journal entries). I would eventually like to grow more, but other improvements are taking priority right now (that and I would probably need a pickaxe with silk touch first, in order to bring back blocks that would make the job easier).

Yeah and it was just at the right time too. If it wasn't for you wanting them I would've thrown them out/put them in the free chest not long after your request for some since no one was buying them and I didn't need them. Glad I could help!
