I'd like to meet:
Elizabeth I, John Lennon, W.B. Yeats, Katherine Hepburn, Cleveland Amory...but what are the chances?
Movies:
Anything Tim Burton-related, especially if it involves clay, stripes, or Johnny Depp. Also, Miyazaki makes me one happy little bunny. Lesse, movies I will watch over and over and over again (or at least every few months or so) are:
Alien/s (But not the last two)
The Big Lebowski
Blade Runner
Bringing Up Baby
Corpse Bride
Dark Crystal
Dune (The movie with Patrick Stewart and, oddly enough, Sting; not the miniseries)
Elizabeth
The Haunting (The fab and terrifying old black and white version, not the craptacular new version--"we who walk here walk alone!")
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (It took a while, but I really like Clint Eastwood)
My Neighbor Totoro
Nightmare Before Christmas
The Others
The Philadelphia Story
Princess Mononoke
Saved
Serenity
Spirited Away
The Thing (With Kurt Russel, whose name I may or may not have just spelled wrong)
To Kill a Mockingbird
Wallace and Grommit: Curse of the Wererabbit
Zoolander
And, because my opinion totally matters, if you haven't already seen these, you should. Note: this feature is a convenient way of making a check-list of movies to buy on DVD when I am solvent, to facilitate the whole "watching obsessively" thing. So thank you, MySpace, for feeding my compulsive list-making!
Television:
I have a Buffy problem. Like a herion problem, with (luckily) fewer needles.
Oh! Oh! Also, I love that commercial on PBS, you know, the one with the little goldfish that jumps out of his bowl and out of the window, and then he flops around on the sidewalk, and just when you think he is going to be stepped on (no!), he makes a heroic leap into a mostly empty watercooler bottle (yay!), and then he rides the watercooler bottle delivery truck out of town and leaps into a stream, and then the PBS logo comes up and some guy says something I'm usually too excited to remember, and then the commercial cuts to a shot of salmon swimming upstream through a waterfall, and suddenly! you see the little goldfish (foooom!) leaping happily upstream, and then I get all teary-eyed and overexcited, and I start thinking about the indomnitability of the human spirit (or the goldfish-ly spirit anyway), and about how moving it is when someone acheives their dreams against enormous odds, and how sad it all seems when the brave little fish might die, but then how happy everything is when he makes it, and finally I have to leave the room and sniffle, and then I start to wonder if I'm somehow nine-months pregnant and didn't notice or if maybe I should think about getting on Lithium *breath* That little PBS fish, I'm telling you, its like trip to The Magic Land of Bipolar and a religious revelation all in one.
Books:
I've never yet met a book I wouldn't at least past the time with, but I'll have to investigate the rest of them to be sure.
