I've Been Tagged AGAIN

My dad, Bubs, over at Sprawling Ramshackle Compound, has tagged me again.


Popcorn or Candy? usually I go for the Junior Mints, but popcorn makes for a nice change of pace now and then.

Name a movie you've been meaning to see forever. For a while it was Back to the Future, but I just watched that with Cody, so I'm not sure.

You are given the power to recall one Oscar: who loses it, and to whom? I don't know who would lose it, but Best Actor would go to Johnny Depp in Ed Wood.

Steal one costume from a movie for your wardrobe. The black and white stripy dress Christina Ricci wears at the end of Sleepy Hollow.

Your favorite film franchise is: That is an unfair question....Evil Dead, Saw, Spider Man.

Invite five movie people over for dinner. Who are they? Why'd you invite them? What do you feed them? Lloyd Kaufman, founder of Troma, the longest continually running indie film company ever. I've met him twice, and I'd love to get to know him. Tom Savini, "The Wizard of Gore". I've met Savini as well, and he's a great story teller and a neat guy. I'd invite William Castle, master of the box office gimmick. I just read a book about him, and my favorite movie as a kid was House on Haunted Hill. George Romero, the creator of the modern zombie movie, my most favorite genre. Bruce Campbell, because after reading his autobiography and his novel, I think I love him. Johnny Depp, a brilliant actor, and, from what a gather a good person. I think I'd do a basic steak, potatoes, salad thing for dinner. And I'd probably get these guys liquored up, that'd be a hoot.

What is the appropriate punishment for people who answer cell phones in the movie theater? They should be forced to leave the theater and eat their phone.

Choose a female bodyguard: Ripley from Aliens, Mystique from X-Men, Sarah Connor from Terminator 2, The Bride from Kill Bill, or Mace from Strange Days. The Bride! She's INCREDIBLE! She gets shot full of rock salt, buried alive, SHOT IN THE HEAD! What can't she survive and then dismember?!?

What's the scariest thing you've ever seen in a movie? Jeez, I know the scariest movie I've seen....I'll say any scene with the rickety spiral staircase in the original Haunting.

Your favorite genre (excluding "comedy" and "drama") is... HORROR! Notably splatterstick and zombie. ^_^

You are given the power to greenlight movies at a major studio for one year. How do you wield this power? I'd give adequate funding to gifted low budget film makers, regardless of genre (though expect a lotta horror ;) )

Bonnie or Clyde? Umm...Bonnie?

Something is Wrong Here....

I got an email this morning from my dad, Bubs over at Sprawling Ramshackle Compound. It was a link to a website dedicated to a man named Malachi Ritscher. On Friday, November 3, this man set himself on fire in the Chicago Loop. He did this in protest of the war in Iraq. This man's death has received virtually no media coverage. Why is his death going unnoticed? I don't understand.

A Terrible Realization

I've been thinking a lot lately, and the conclusion I've come to is that I'm filled with hate. I look around me, and all that I see sickens me and fills me with anger. The women who come to the store I work at; fat and miserable, I can tell that their lives are not what they had hoped they would be when they were my age. I cannot and will not grow up to be one of those women. I also strive daily not to be one of the vacuous little girls that I go to school with. I will live up to my dreams, I will be my own person, I will be happy. I see stories in the news about what our government, and those of other countries are doing to their people. I listen to the lectures in my sociology class. I had never realized how completely SCREWED things in this country are! I had never realized how deep institutional racism runs in this country, I had never realized just how ridiculous the idea of race even is!! It terrifies me that the state of our "civilized" world is so utterly barbaric! I am horrified and saddened by the way our leaders are willing to fuck us on a daily basis for the sake of their own pocketbooks! I am EMBARRASSED to be HUMAN.

I'm sorry I've been such a rotten person and haven't posted recently. Yesterday was a zombie walk, and it was fun! We all got zombied up and wandered around trick or treating and moaning loudly. It was great! We only got questioned about our age once (after receiving candy, no less). It was awesome. More Halloween-ness this weekend, as Hannah (my sister) and I are having our party Saturday. Tomorrow I'm going supplies shopping. Thank goodness for post Halloween sales!
