What's your favorite Christmas movie?
Bill Forsyth's Comfort and Joy, which I'm just about to start watching. I haven't seen it in YEARS, since finding a copy was (for some unfathomable reason) impossible. But some wonderful person... Holidays
What your favorite Christmas carol?
I'm partial to "God rest ye merry, gentlemen", not least because most people put the comma in the wrong place, which kinda changes the meaning, and yet no one seems to be aware of that. Holidays
Do you leave cookies and milk out for Santa, and a carrot for Rudolph?
Well, I understand the cookies and milk, but reindeer don't EAT carrots. I mean, how would they? Why would an arctic animal eat a Persian plant? The only real value would be to imply that he... Holidays
Have you ever watched a movie on TV to find out scenes were cut or shortened?
There are several reasons: for time, for legal purposes (you see games cut down all the time for that reason; famously, the Grand Theft Auto series has be edited every few years when the music... Entertainment & Arts
Have you realized that we can't imagine unseen colors?
What are you talking about? Of course we can imagine them- we just wouldn't be able to, you know, see them. They're not impossible to imagine at all; the brain isn't subject to the limits of the... Entertainment & Arts
What would happened if someone who's never seen any of the Star Warses decided to watch them in numerical order, rather than the order they were made?
They'd be tempted to stop before it got good- and I suspect a lot of them WOULD, too. Ultimately, all true art comes from demons. Not literal demons, usually, but they're no less real for that.... Entertainment & Arts
Do you think we should party like it's 1647 and abolish Christmas?
Speaking as someone who's Irish on one side and mostly Irish on the the other, I think we should instead party like it's 1658 and put Cromwell's head on a stick. He's pretty much the consummate... Holidays
Who is your favorite of the Muppets?
Probably Gonzo. And I have a soft spot for the Swedish Chef, not only for his own sake, but because you'd never be able to get away with a character like that these days. Entertainment & Arts
What is an original idea for a fantasy or scifi creature that you are dying to see?
It may be "original" only in a sense you didn't mean, but- Neanderthals. They're PERFECT for a horror movie monster: they're bigger, they're stronger, they're tougher, they're comparably smart if... Entertainment & Arts
Check out this list. Odd Christmas movie you can't find?
Well, there is ONE- I'm guessing this is a Youtube link, though, and my browser doesn't play nice with HTML 5 EMEs. Does it have Bill Forsyth's "Comfort and Joy"? Apparently there was a Hallmark... Holidays
Give me some video game suggestions please?
No problem- what platform? And any particular genres? Entertainment & Arts
What were your most favourite video games of the 90s and early 2000s?
How to pick just one? Okay, I'll go by genre; I can limit it to that. Strategy: Civilization. 4 for overall gameplay; Alpha Centauri for writing (yes, even in a grand strategy game) and mechanics... Entertainment & Arts
Prey Eyes vs. Hunter Eyes: What's your Canthal Tilt?
Wrong axis. The predator/prey eye disparity is a matter of depth perception. Entertainment & Arts
Do movies about cursed mummies make narrative sense?
They don't make sense because they're told from the monster's perspective. They start with some ruler being mummified, then dying. Then someone breaks into his tomb and steals his stuff, which... Entertainment & Arts
Why couldn't they have made the resident evil movies with the same plot lines as the books and the videogames?
As I recall, the first Resident Evil movie came out in early 2002. Let's look at what video game movies had already been made by that point: -Super Mario Brothers, which was incredibly awful... Entertainment & Arts
Oldies Romantic?
I've always been partial to Elvis' "I can't help falling in love with you", but something a little less smarmy and a little more mutual (I mean, if it's one-sided, how much distance is there... Entertainment & Arts
Why do some people hate Christmas?
Because they never had Thurl Ravenscroft sing about them. Holidays
Do animals understand music or is it just noise to them?
Yes, sort of- particularly the more intelligent ones, like (other) apes and elephants. And the cetaceans- well, they have their own music, and dolphins even their own languages . I don't know how... Entertainment & Arts
Did Elvis really die in 1977? ?
Probably- but even if he didn't, it was almost fifty years ago; one way or another, he's gone now. Or in hiding with Andy Kaufman. One of the two. Holidays
