Topic: Humor/memes
This is a meme (blog questionaire) about the media. I found it over at A Gracious Home. If you want to join in and do it too, make sure you let me know or add your name to Sallie's list on the Gracious Home sight.
It's an ABC theme, which is funny because today I found an old packet of Alphabet pasta which I added to our chicken noodle soup! Maggie loved it and then used the dried pasta to make Emma a birthday card. =)
Action – Favorite action movie?
National Treasure, Batman Begins
Beautiful – Most beautiful performer?
Audrey Hepburn
Comedy – Favorite comedy (TV or movie)?
Just one??? Gilmore Girls, Everybody Loves Raymond (ha, can't help it!)
And oldies: MASH, Northern Exposure
Drama – Favorite drama (TV or movie)?
Cold Case (like CSI but no gore), Smallville =)
Event – Historic event that kept you riveted to the TV?
9-11 of course, and Hurricane Katrina coverage
Favorite – If you could only own and watch one DVD the rest of your life, what would it be?
The one my husband made of our family videos and pictures would be first.
The 5 hour A&E version of Pride and Prejudice for the epic quality and beauty of the setting, as well as an all time great story and acting. but also because if I can only choose one, it better be long! =)
OR
You've Got Mail I don't know why, but I'm a cult follower of it, memorizing lines from it and ritually watching it. (usually with my daughter Hannah)
G – Favorite G rated movie?
Finding Nemo! It is so original and creative and always cracks us up completely!
Head over heels – Which star were you in love with when you were younger?
Is this to show our age or what??? Peter Tork from the Monkees (yes, it was a tv show and yes, I'm really that old) and also Bobbie Sherman from Here Come the Brides....heehee
Ice – Did you see the “Miracle on Ice” live (tape delayed) in 1980?
Nope, or if I was at someone's house watching it, I don't remember, but we love and have the dvd Miracle, a retelling of the story with Kurt Russell.
Justice – Did you watch any of the famous O.J. Simpson chase down the freeway?
I saw part of it. Weird.
King of the Thriller – Favorite Hitchcock movie?
I LOVE Alfred Hitchcock movies! Although I've never seen Psycho or The Birds all the way through. They both freak me out too much. My favorite is Rear Window.
Laettner – Did you see Duke’s Christian Laettner make the winning shot against Kentucky?
I don't even know what that means!
MP3 Player – Do you own one??Several ;) 2 that play mp3's off of burned CD's and we have 4 iPods among us. Our 2 dvd players play mp3's too.....oh, and in the car.....lol
Never get enough – Which movie have you watched the most times and how many times have you seen it?
I don't count....that would be incriminating! Probably You've Got Mail.
Opie – Opie or the Beaver?
I refuse to choose between those 2 icons! Let me just throw into the mix though, for your consideration, Ernie Douglas from My Three Sons. We saw almost all of the reruns of it a few years ago and he is hilarious!!!
Pride and Prejudice – Do you prefer A&E or 2005 release?
A&E, but I do love some of the scenes in the 2005 one, like the scene in the pouring rain, when Elizabeth and Darcy meet 'by chance' (as they are in the habit of doing). With our surround sound system, it sounds as if it's raining IN our living room!!! I also love the scenery and settings a lot better in the new one.
Quality – Best TV show of all time?
91210 of course....NOT! lol I've actually never seen it, so it very well may be a real worthy show, but I'm thinking not.
That is a really tough one.....The Cosby Show is up there in the greats, but let me please add: The Andy Griffith Show and MASH
Remote control – Who is in charge in your house?
Whoever is fortunate enough to grab it first...ha! Actually, on Monday nights, only 24 is allowed on the big tv. This decree is by my husband, who is an addict...I know...sad. On Tuesday nights I get to watch Gilmore Girls and the rest of the time, there really isn't much TO watch.
Super Bowl – Game or commercials?
Commercials please.
Television – How many in your house?
4 *blush* one of them only plays dvd's (in the teens room) and one of them has a video tape player and can tune in local channels, but only one is permitted=PBS for kids' shows only. One is in our room and the other one....the monster, with surround sound....is in the living room.
Ultimate – Who is your favorite movie star?
I love movies with Tom Hanks or Colin Firth/Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, Emma Thompson, or Julia Roberts in them.
Victory – The best sporting event/game you’ve watched live on TV?
*blank stare* Oh yeah! I actually watched the World Series when the AZ Diamondbacks won!
Walkman – Did you ever own a Sony Walkman?
Yes, but we don't use it much...what with ipods around. ;)
X – Movie you wish you had never watched?
Road to Perdition=easily the most violent movie I have ever, EVER watched. Also, Reds because it was a serious waste of time. (I promised the friend I went with that I wouldn't leave though, so I stayed. When I found out that at intermission there was more movie to come, I think I almost cried.)
Yesterday – How many hours of media did you consume?
2 Hours? I was really busy yesterday and I think the only tv/music I saw/listened to was a Sesame Street best of video and the little electric piano toy we have that my little 11 month old nephew watched and played with. I was babysitting. =) Oh, after he went to bed, we watched Ice Age 2.
ZZZ’s – Best music to fall asleep to?
I can't fall asleep when music is playing....I tend to listen to the words. So...maybe instrumental? Although I have a feeling that would be distracting too. I usually have a big fan that roars to block out all noises. lol
