14.Favourite place name?

Well I'm biased, but I'll go with Bognor Regis!



You From Bognor eh? Alway thought that name was spiffing.

Quote:

21.Which is worst: stubbing your toe or knocking your funny bone?

I'll tell you which is worse...having to place the end of a cocktail stick under the toenail of your big toe then having to kick a football full pelt with that very foot.



Er that's true - that is worse. :? But why in all that is sacred, would you do such a thing.

Quote:

Finally
23.Should I ask out a girl called Jude...?

No...she sounds like a stalker-type.

lol, im j/k. Go for it. Wait, is she a "good friend" of yours?



No I've only met her a couple of times at various shindigs. Certainly I've not stepped into the 'friends' zone yet... So I'm good to go I reckon.

Somno:

Yes, la Bella Belluci plays the first hellion up the foot of Keanu's bed, for the menage à quatre scene. While I mentioned Monica specifically -- because, well, you know -- I wouldn't kick any of Dracula's brides out of bed for eating stuff, unless the stuff was me.

Smoking: Addiction is fun. Much like Love, there's just not enough of it in the world. I once quit for 5 years (although it never stopped whispering in my ear); but lost the cure within 2 weeks on TDY to Saudi. My ideal cure would be for tobacco to be outlawed. While you're at it, hard liquor as well. Legalize marijuana to keep the subsidized farmers happy and take the alcohol restrictions off of imported and domestic beer (here in the USofA). Everyone's happy, and we give drug addiction the swift kick in the nads it so richly deserves, without unduly screwing up the tax structure. (NB: I am not a marijuana user. It just occurs to me that it's got to be more benign than either distilled spirits and/or 20-per-day cigarette consumption. Who's gonna smoke 20 joints a day, other than my old high school chum, Todd? 3 marijuana cigs for a price equal to a six-pack of beer, ought to match buzz-price quotient and keep folks conscientious.)

I've been thinking on the whole Jude topic and I've decided you should go for it. Wholeheartedly. My reasoning? Because you think you should; I can hear it in your 'voice'. You know this girl intrigues you and seems the kind of person that could be a positive influence in your life. As the Bard put it: "What's in a name? A Rose by any other name would probably be a Rosalyn or Rosalie." (...or something like that; you get the general drift.)

Now, when are you going to answer your own questionnaire? We've shown you ours, 'doctor', now you must show us yours...


v/r,
-zed

Hey Zoid

Morning.

So Monica is one of the wives of Dracula ? - that Keanu is one lucky bugger! In three films with her.

Yeah sorry about the smoking rant. I sympathise with your plight on both alcohol and ciggies. I hope someday the governments come to thier senses - but I think we already know right.... Hey if they wouldn't listen to the late great Bill Hicks they won't listen to me. Best thing... Light 'em if you got 'em folks there's no immediate answer here :)

And as for Jude.....well first the questionaire. I guess I should have done this from the top:
------------------
------------------
1.Name?
Ric, Ricardo, Rickity, The Trixter, or Zio Ricci to my Niece and Nephews

2.Name you'd give yourself - if things worked that way?
Dangermouse

3.Craziest stunt you pulled as a kid?
Well the dumbest things I did, I did while I lived in Paraguay. It was a wonderland really for a kid growing up, so running into a field of bulls yanking their tails and then legging it under a barbed wire fence wasn't out of the ordinary. There was also the time I jumped into an empty swimming pool because I thought I was Superman! But perhaps the worst was when my brother and I stole some beers from out the fridge (icebox) and then snuck around the back of the house and gulped then down like it was coke. Well I was four so I was knocked out for like two days!!! My mum called the doctor, obviously worried, and well when he told her, her youngest was "Intoxicado!" at the single figure age - you can appreciate the kind of worry she feared I would continue to put her through during my childhood. (Sorry mum)

4.The world has changed and suddenly it's acceptable to go into work wearing a superhero/ superheroine costume... What would yours be?
Hmmm. Definately something with a cape! I like capes and I'm sore at the world of fashion for not making them more common in everyday life.
*I shake my fists at you , you czars of fashion!*

After that Idianna Jones' outfit always looked ready for adventure!


5.Which would you choose to live in if only these two choices were available: Windmill or Lighthouse?
Ah that'd be the old Spanish Windmills of 'La Mancha' I love 'em

6.If you fell and you had the choice would you like to fall into: Sponge or Blancmange?
Blancmange everytime!!!

7.Jetpack or Hoverbike?
Jetpack. - anybody remember 1984 Olympics!!!! I thought those things were just around the corner!! What happened??

8.The 80's your opinions please?
Tron, Indianna Jones, Back to the Future, 1st kiss, girls wearing odd coloured socks - sorry I love it like Quasimodo loved the Bells :)

9.Who from Firefly would you like to eat lunch off?
Zoe...no wait....Inara... No wait..... Oh curse my male instincts! Saphron - I know, know, special kinda hell

10.What could you do for Joss?
Score Serenity, Dream job!!!

11.Best quote?
The optimist believes we live on the greatest of all worlds, and the pessimist fears he is right.....

12.Life - what d'you think it's all about? Whatever we can comprehend isn't worth knowing - that's why life must remain a mystery

13.Do dreams lie?
No they show us the truth we live the lie.

14.Favourite place name?
Rest and be Thankful It's a place in Scotland. One day I'll go and visit.

15.Next 80's TV show you think will be made into a film?(Lets face it it's just a question of time before they do another one!)
I reckon the A-Team is on the cards, although personally I'd like to Ulysees 31 made into a live action film. Best animated TV show ever!!!

16.Do you still jump on your bed?
yeah - I recently bought myself a new bed and jumped happily on it for about half an hour! When my niece and nephew visit they'll get to do the same too. Kids should always be alowwed to jump on beds

17.Scalextrics or Playstation?
Quite rig

I can't believe it.... someone DOES remember Vincent Price, and it's the host of the thread at that!

Good to know someone appreciates him, I used to love his movies. Only problem is, we may shown our age a bit....

Yeah along with Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing. I just love that era of Horror. I recently watched Dracula - Prince of Darkness with Christopher Leeand I was blown away by the cinematography. There's one shot of the lead actress and she has deep auburn coloured hair and she's wearing a puple coat, and behind her the cameraman had set a soft green/turquoise hue against the wall - the contrast was incredible!!! Absolutley beautiful work it looked like a painting. And there were so many arrangements like this with complimentary colours it was mesmerising. Cinema and film....Amazing!

Have you seen the Masque of the Red Death, Rezleog2?

Not in recent memory, but I know I did when I was a kid. I wish you could get stuff like that on DVD now. Hey, maybe I'm on to a new business idea...

Price is the best. But to me he is not ONE bad guy. He is the master. His movies were always my favorite to watch just before bed time. I loved being all curled up and caught in his eyes. *sigh* Good stuff, that.

With few exceptions, the same names keep cropping up here.

I chose skekTek because it was the first time something even half-way creeped me out. Not even Walken creeps me out…in fact he’s oddly alluring. Lee is positively captivating…even when he crops up next to genius like Cushing…am I the only one that wonders what would have happened if he had been Kenobi instead of Tarkin? Oldman and Rickman are too sexy for words and therefore not bad guys.

I couldn't possibly pick a favourite. Price was just dignifyed beyond belief, Lee is supreme and noble and Cushing was just the gentle refined man of horror.

I suppose I have a soft spot for Cushing because he used to live not more than forty minutes from here in the seaside town of Whitstable where an old girlfriend of mine once lived. First time we went out she showed me his house along the beach. Really sweet and modest kinda place, not at all what you think a well known actor like Cushing would have lived in.

But I must confess equal admiration for Alec Guiness - charm ouzed from that man. Have you seen the original Ladykillers or Lavender Hill Mob or Captain Paradise ? Beautiful films......

Walken is just a big cuddly kinda bad guy - I'd love it if some director would put him in an old fashioned style rom-com. I think he'd rock in such a part.

Rezleog
Consider me your first customer if you do print those horror films onto DVD.
The Pit and the Pendulum
The Raven
House of Wax (in 3D please)
The Tingler
Witchfinder General

....man there are so many.
