Interview! Because yes, I'm that important. Bow! Bow!

[doyle]

It's the interview meme again! anniesj probed me. With her questions. First person to comment with a request to be interviewed, I'll ask them five questions, then they answer in their own journal and make the same offer. Savvy?


1. If you were allowed to give an award to one film, one album, and one television show, which masterful pieces of art would you recognize?

Film: Fight Club. God, I love me some Fight Club. The script, the direction, the acting, the editing, everything about that film is perfect. I think I could quote it line by line.

Album: I actually tend to listen to my own mix CDs, so I don't own very many full mix albums. That said, I'd give the award to anything by Eve6, because I love their music and they need the exposure.

TV Show: Queer as Folk UK. Still my One True Fandom, even though I haven't written anything for it since I, err, grew up and my fanfic stopped sucking quite so bad. It, it has Vince! And Stuart! (And Stuart and Vince's onetrueloveofalltime) And Nathan, who I eventually grew to appreciate. Plus some of the sharpest writing I've ever seen. And it surprisingly has very little sex in it. Which, even more surprisingly, is okay.

2. What is the one awful, embarrassing movie that has made you cry?

Pocahontas.

No, really.

No, really. It's cheesy and completely awful, but when I was about 14 I watched it so many times.

(Incidentally, Pocahontas 2 is the worst movie of all time.)

3. If you were only allowed to eat the same meal for the rest of your life, which meal would you choose?

Hmm... got to be steak pie, made with the big chunks of steak and puff-pastry. And chips (actual chips, not crisps. Gah, not even sure of the Americanism for this because to me fries are the little skinny ships, not the nice fat ones...) Ooh, and Yorkshire pudding and potato bread, because I love them.

It's a slightly unconventional meal.

And I want pepperoni pizza for dessert. And Ben and Jerry's (Phish Food)

4. It's late. You're in an alleyway. There's a sexy man in the shadows about to give you illicit booty. Who is he?

Hmm. I'll have to go for Alexis Denisof in stubbly-Wes mode. But Jack Davenport is a serious contender.

5. What color are your underwear?

Black, but you really should check for yourself, just to be sure I'm not lying...

I'll play!

The one awful, embarrassing movie that made me cry was Cool Runnings. I was at school and went to see it with a French exchange student called Etienne. He was sophisticated and Gallic and I was trying to impress him, and then I went and sobbed at a John Candy comedy.

...you mean, I'm not supposed to bawl my eyes out every time they pick up the fallen bobsled and manfully carry it on their shoulders down the track?

Ohhh, dear.


(Your icon makes me happy.)

You have NO idea how relieved I am to know I'm not the only one who loses completely at that point.

(If you happen to fancy beta'ing a Pitch Black fic -- or even just a quick read-through -- please drop me a line. Apologies to Doyle for pimping in her LJ).

you know we can't believe! Jamaica, we have a bobsled team!

[octopedingenue]

The stirring music! The upswell of applause! The manly shouldering! Yes, I am a sap. And I feel like waving a joyful little flag when they do the "Cooooooool runniniiiiiiiiings!" warm-up.

(I have never read Pitch Black fanfiction before--correction, I have never read PB fanfiction *worth reading* before--but I would be happy to look over yours! :D)

I second that question. Meep.

Hey, Cool Runnings was brilliant!

"Sanka? You dead?"
"Yeah, mon."

Btw, Doyle - I agree with Vince's mum. That shag is *never* gonna happen.

Ooh, I get to interview you!

1. So, if Cool Runnings is out, which movie would you pick as the perfect first date cinema trip?
2. Which do you or would you prefer, country or city living?
3. You mentioned wanting to be less monogamous, fandom-wise. What fandoms would you like to write in?
4. An answer that will mean nothing to anyone but me, probably - what's your favourite place to go out in Belfast? *g*
5. What's your response to feedback on your fics? Would you prefer constructive criticism or just an 'I loved this, thank you for writing it', or something else? or are they all good?

And chips (actual chips, not crisps. Gah, not even sure of the Americanism for this because to me fries are the little skinny ships, not the nice fat ones...)

I believe that in general, thick or thin, we Americans call them all "fries." Some people may call the thick ones "home fries," but to me "home fries" are the small cubes of potato which are fried in a skillet. Those are called "hash browns" by some people, but my definition of "hash browns" is the patties that are made of shredded potato and fried in a little oil in a skillet.

Who knew potatoes were so complicated?

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

*waves hand like an annoying little kid* I'd be up for it.

[evemac.livejournal.com]

Fries are skinny. Fat fries are...fat fries, unless they're with fried/breaded fish in which case it's fish and chips.

That was...descriptive.

Eve6 w00t!

Holy guh, AD in stubbly-Wes-mode in a dark alley. Hoo boy.

[maybedarkpink.livejournal.com]

I adore Eve6!!! And stubbly Alexis Denisof, nummy. And Fight Club is a great movie, such a thinking one, you can watch over and over... And now you know I look for the subliminal porn whenever I see a movie at the theater!
