1) Which wild animal would you like to rear?
http://www.naturetrek.co.uk/pics/rg_african_wild_dog.jpg
The African Wild Dog, I'd probably lean towards a canine no matter what, and they're uber-cool.

2) Which literary character would you want to encounter?
Phillip Marlowe, he's cool incarnate, plus he's honest, good looking and smart. I think we'd get along

3) What piece of music / song would you like to inhabit?

Marcello Mastroanni is just wow.

5)Person whose looks you'd thieve?
REALLY tough call, Gene Tierney, Louise Brooks and Vivien Leigh are runner up. If anything they're too exceptionally beautiful for me, I'd hate to have that pressure. So Diana Rigg.
http://www.cryptozoology.com/forum/images/diana_rigg_5960.jpg

6) Which historic figure would you choose to be?
REALLY difficult, being Josephine Baker would be cool, not only being a performer/singer, living in Paris, working in the resistance, adopting all those children... it just seems so cool.

7)Your first crush?
Tough call, probably The Beast from Beauty and the Beast

8)Person you quote the most?
W.C. Fields

9)Painting you'd like to hoard?
JUST ONE. The choice is boggling, for now I'll say

I think it's called Venice, and it's by J.M.W. Turner.

10)Film that scarred you for life?

Another really difficult question... I don't know.

13)Your ideal place to live?

1) Which wild animal would you like to rear?
Foxes. They're adorable and fairly harmless. I also love frogs, but I think having too many of them would make me feel like I was harvesting the next plague.

2) Which literary character would you want to encounter?
Most of my favorite literature is populated by people I'd probably rather avoid.

3) What piece of music / song would you like to inhabit?
Europe's "The Final Countdown."

4)Whom do you regard as beauty incarnate?
Rita Hayworth, maybe.

5)Person whose looks you'd thieve?
Jen stole my answer, so I'll go with... Namie Amuro. Though if I did, I'd gain a bit of weight 'cause she could use some.

http://www.amurox.com/images/newpromo.jpg

6) Which historic figure would you choose to be?
Hmm...they all end so badly. So, none.

7)Your first crush?
Some guy who was on this cheesy vampire-related show I watched when I was like, 6. I was so jealous of the girl who played his love interest.

8)Person you quote the most?
I don't really.

9)Painting you'd like to hoard?
Da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine. Or some of his cat sketches.

10)Film that scarred you for life?
Um... Redacted?

11) Historic city you'd most like to visit?
Venice.

12)Your ultimate idol?
Shiina Ringo.

13)Your ideal place to live?
Vancouver. So close...

14)Your greatest non-human love?
Sometimes it's movies, sometimes music, sometimes graphic design... But I'll go with my cat that I've had since I was 13, Grey.

15)What were your childhood obsessions?
Nintendo, MuchMusic's yearly dance music compilations, Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

16)Who's recently been loitering in your dreams?
No one, my dreams are usually really random and unconnected. Last night I had one that I saw Faust on TV, and it was somehow re-released in really crappy technicolor--which made me mad.

17)What's your "cunning plan"? (It's gotta be something preposterous.)
Find a way to live forever and have the government pay for all my living expenses (no matter what country I'm in at the time) so I only have to do work/hobbies that I actually want to.

The Bengal Tiger. It's an obvious choice, but it's there for a reason.

2) Which literary character would you want to encounter?
Most characters are the types of people I'd avoid to be honest. Does Diablo Cody count for her memoir?

http://chud.com/nextraimages/naowatts.jpg

Cal Ripken, always has and always will.

13)Your ideal place to live?
In a city with a movie theater, grocery store in walking distance.

14)Your greatest non-human love?
Dogs. Friends, family, or eventually my own. Love them.

Acting out movies and playing sports. Keeping stats of anything at that point. I knew everything about everyone.

Nobody really. They remain pretty sparse.

17)What's your "cunning plan"? (It's gotta be something preposterous.)
Write and direct movies without studio interference while volunteer firefighting on the side. I guess that's not preposterous or cunning. So I will add in that I get to shit on a toilet made out of gold while looking at a Sistine Chapel ceiling in my ceiling.

Hey, I invented my own superheros too. My favorite was one called Jackhammer. I probably have his entire history and comic book series archived somewhere.

Ditto here. Not only that, but I used to make comics starring these made-up superheroes, and traded them with my friends who did the same. I think even to this day I can draw a pretty good Cookie Man.

She was in an episode of Six Feet Under, and I just recently saw her again in an episode of Friday Night Lights. No one special really, she just popped into a dream I was having (not in a sexual way though).

1) Which wild animal would you like to rear?
9)Painting you'd like to hoard?
Anything from Dali, particularly this one:
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/IMC/tfa475~The-Burning-Giraffe-c-1937-Posters.jpg

Don't mean to hijack but there is no art thread.

I love Dali too, but I tend to lean towards his less abstract stuff. A few of my favorites are Crepuscular Old Man (which I posted in this thread), Meditative Rose, and Figure at a Window. All three of which are very un-Daliesque.

What are your favorites?? There was a Dali exhibition in DC a few years ago that I regret not seeing.

edit: The one watashi posted is beautiful. I don't think I have seen this one before.

completely copying the other one I did.

1) Which wild animal would you like to rear?
heh "rear"

I love apes/monkeys, so would love to have a Bonobo (it's like a chimp but more mature in terms of actions/personality)

2) Which literary character would you want to encounter?
I don't read much fine literature, mostly quick and easy action novels and odd works. That and juvey fiction. I'll say Juliet, she's hot, right?

3) What piece of music / song would you like to inhabit?
How does one live in music? Eh, I'll go with Kazmir- Led Zepellin

4)Who do you regard as beauty incarnate?
this came up in a google image search: http://www.srichinmoypoetry.com/library/the_poet_seers/library/the_poet_seers/tagore-pic.jpg I'm thinking the exact opposite of that....

Actually, Natalie Portman for sure. She's teh hottnez

5)Person whose looks you'd thieve?
http://www.simplydumb.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/06/brad-pitt-on-hospital-walls.jpg

6) Which historic figure would you choose to be?
Hard one, I'll go with Ramses II http://www.si.umich.edu/CHICO/mummy/images/rameses2-s.gif
dude reigned for 60+ years, lived 90 years, and built a lot of the cool stuff in Egypt.

7)Painting you'd like to hoard?
hehe hoard.
http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/06/27/dali_soldier_warning.jpg
Never seen this one before, but googled Dali and it's freakin' sweet.

8)Film that scarred you for life?
It did for the longest time when I was little, as did Nightmare on Elm Street, but now they're humorous, so I guess not scarred for life. Not sure anything's really scarred me for life, but Pink Flamingos was pretty damn disturbing.

9) Historic city you'd most like to visit?
Roma, Athens, or Giza are highest on the list, but i'll visit any and all I can. I live for this stuff.

10)Your ultimate idol?
William Hung. I wish I could make money on my singing

11)Your ideal place to live?
Not sure til you live there, but I've heard San Diego is nice, and I've always wanted to visit Denver, and I root for their sport teams. Or you could see #9 above too.

12)Your greatest non-human love?
does my dog count? Maybe football. wish I still played.

13)What were your childhood obsessions?
Larissa Oleynik, nintendo, football, spaghetti

14)Who's recently been loitering in your dreams?
Dunno, I don't really remember my dreams.

15)What's your "cunning plan"? (It's gotta be something preposterous.)
I'm gonna become president, declare myself Emperor for life, take over Canada, then move south through Mexico and South America before slowly taking over the world Napoleonic style. Or perhaps I'll make some fudge.

edit: The one watashi posted is beautiful. I don't think I have seen this one before.

there is one going on right now in LA. it's actually not as complete as i expect. (magritte's came here earlier, and wow! isn't that exhaustive.) there is the ever famous persistence of memory and the birth of narcissus, but i don't see the one with skinny leg elephant and tiger. there is the showing of destino which i watched earlier. come to think of it, the presentation seems to gear toward motion pictures -- they show his stuff in spellbound and excerpt from bunel's.

when it comes to surrealist, i always prefer magritte to dali.

1) Which wild animal would you like to rear?

Well, I already have a lion. So I guess I'd have to say a white bengal tiger, those kick ass.

2) Which literary character would you want to encounter?

I have no idea...I don't think I've ever read a book about a character I would actually want to meet in real life.

I guess it'd be cool to say I'd met James Bond.

3) What piece of music / song would you like to inhabit?

"Stay With Me" by Clint Mansell/Kronos Quartet/Mogwai, from the sountrack to The Fountain

4)Whom do you regard as beauty incarnate?

Male:

Female:

5)Person whose looks you'd thieve?

May sound weird, but even though I think there are parts of his face that are downright ugly by themselves, when put together I think Javier Bardem is pretty damn good-looking...

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/5430/javivc3.jpg

6) Which historic figure would you choose to be?

I honestly don't know. Maybe Jacques Cartier...exploring a new continent would be pretty exciting.

7)Your first crush?

Probably Bridgette Wilson as Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat.

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/4870/tn2bridgettewilson4bl1.jpg

I used to rewind the scene where she fought Kano and did the hand-stand neck breaker thing over and over and over, hoping that if I rewound it enough times one of her boobs would fall out of her shirt.

It's crazy that I was more of a pervert at the age of 8 than I am now.

8)Person you quote the most?

I don't quote people.

9)Painting you'd like to hoard?

I know nothing about paintings.

I'd rather have this on a canvas on my wall...

10)Film that scarred you for life?

Same as Jen, I saw a video on the net once of a Jewish man being beheaded by his Muslim neighbour in front of his (the Jewish man's) children.

That deeply disturbed me.

11) Historic city you'd most like to visit?

Hmmm...late 1800s London, to see that incredible discrepancy between upper and lower class people, first hand.

12)Your ultimate idol?

http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/8159/reevesupeslp6.jpg

Both the actor, and the character he's playing.

13)Your ideal place to live?

Anywhere that Jen is.

14)Your greatest non-human love?

Entertainment media.

15)What were your childhood obsessions?

Sharks, books, drawing, superheroes, movies.

Pretty much the same as now.

16)Who's recently been loitering in your dreams?

I rarely remember my dreams...and I rarely have good dreams.

17)What's your "cunning plan"? (It's gotta be something preposterous.)

Get my foot in the Hollywood door by convincing Tom Cruise to let me helm M:I:4.
