Same question.

I might as well answer my own question:
What's your favourite and least favourite genre?
Favourite: Fantasy
Least Favourite: Dystopias, Horror, Cosmic Horror, non fiction unless it's about something I'm interested in.

If given the chance, would you go back in time to see the creation of the cosmos? I would..

Yes indeed.

On a related topic, time travel, what event would you like to see?

I'd like to see what it was like in space and on other planets in the past.

What's your favourite and least favourite thing to eat for lunch?

Simple answer...McDonald's. Could also be expanded to anything made "fast."

Do you believe professional painters become cursed each time they must walk beneath a ladder?

No I don’t. If somebody like me were atop the ladder they ought to be wary though bevause i am an ectremely dizzy person n falling n tripping is smthing that happens a lot to me

My mom has that too (veryigo n clumsiness) n after getting ultrasound n stuff it turns out she had a brain tumour n even after surgery a portion remains. One of my aunts did too n died of it so I wonder whether my lifelong dizziness is a precursor to a brain tumour too?

Do you have any talents thst could be demonstrated on stage (eg riding a unicycle, card tricks, singing, etc?)

Do you enjoy films that make you think and don't give away everything all at once?

Yes, but some films that move very quickly and the plot seems to be all over the place is not the kind of thinking I like. A movie that comes to mind was: Memento with Guy Pearce. I saw it with my wife and the whole time I felt like: "Ok, so what's going on now? I don't get it, so what's the deal?"

I like movies where the characters are either complex or I can spend a ton of time afterwards enjoying thinking about what the backstories of the characters might have been.

A movie that comes to mind was: The Station Agent with Peter Dinklage and Patricia Clarkson (beautiful woman, BTW). It's not flashy, it's not fast paced but in my opinion there was so much to think about after seeing the film. I think I'll rent it and watch it again. Loner movies where the main character has dealt with adversity in his/her life and finds friendship or love are my favorite kinds of movies (which makes perfect sense for me). Yes, I'm going to watch this movie again.

Yes, definitely. When I was a bit younger I really fancied Magnolia, Memento, and a few other films I now don't recall. Unfortunately I haven't seen any movies of that caliber in some time.

Same question.

Patricia Clarkson is in Six Feet Under :heart: :heart: :heart: (insert unsolicited plug)

I have a very hard time watching or following any movie. I deconstruct them to "Good guy, bad guy, conflict, ending" in my head and all the rest seems superfluous. Most of the time I'm so faceblind I don't know the characters' names, their conflicts are so complicated I have no idea what's happening, and I just wait for a big argument or set of tears, so it can be over. I'm really quite lost when it comes to duplicity or predicting and understanding motive for characters.

I used to get confused at the simplest stories, like "Sleeping Beauty" (Disney). I'd be singing along with Aurora when suddenly there would be dragons and witches and death matches. I was like, "????! !! !"

In short, I'm not the person to ask about films. There are very few I totally understand (Lion King, Dead Poets, most Cary Grant or Jimmy Stewart).

Sorry, throwing this out of sequence a bit..

IsabellaLinton,

Do you find the same difficulty of following characters, etc., while reading books? I'm wondering because although I can follow characters in film and books fairly well, I still have a rough time remembering names, in books, film, or in reality.

Yes, there are some characters in books that I find difficult to follow along with..


Are there some people you find intensely annoying?

I do have a difficult time with characters' names and personalities if it's the first time I've read a book. I usually take a lot of notes and assign a special characteristic to each person so I can remember them (e.g., I pretend "Joseph has a red hat", or other imaginary cues). Now that there is internet I sometimes look for a list of characters for the book online, as I'm reading. That will usually help me in a complex plot. If I like a book I tend to obsess over it and read it multiple times. By then I know the ending, I know how each character changes or contributes to the ending, and I can see their motivations better.

Non-fiction is much easier because you don't need to retain the whole story accumulatively in your mind from beginning to end. That's why I read a lot of Biographies and NF as well as my stash of Victorian Literature.

Longshot - i do but in retrospect i generally have realized that the qualities that make them annoying to me are the ones I myself harbour

Do you have something important thst you have been delaying?

Free dance!

Does it take you long to read books, or are you super fast at reading?
