Here’s my contribution—
Five things NTCNTC can grab:
My hair
My nose
The remote
His “special bits”
Any damn thing remotely in his reach.
What canonical films do you dislike? Mine are THE APARTMENT, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, CASABLANCA, MALTESE FALCON, VERTIGO AND BICYCLE THIEVES.
Which films do YOU think are underrated? MINE: PILLOW TALK, GIANT, HEAVEN’S GATE, MARIE ANTOINETTE, THE LOOKOUT, THE BIG BLUE, ETC.
TAR aside, which reality show would you most want to be on? Which show would you hate to be on?
LOVE ARMED
by: Aphra Behn
OVE in fantastic triumph sat,
Whilst bleeding hearts around him flowed,
For whom fresh pains he did create,
And strange tyrannic power he showed,
From thy bright eyes he took his fire,
Which round about, in sport he hurled;
But ‘twas from mine, he took desire,
Enough to undo the amorous world.
From me he took his sighs and tears,
From thee his pride and cruelty;
From me his languishments and fears,
And every killing dart from thee;
Thus thou and I, the god have armed,
And set him up a deity;
But my poor heart alone is harmed,
Whilst thine the victor is, and free.
Five things I can grab:
The latest NATION magazine
Lucille Clifton’s _good woman: poems and a memoir 1969-1980.
a bottle of Sanfaustino calcium water
q-tips
my tickets stubs from filmgoing this year. Last count: 111.
Five songs to be played at maximum volume:
1. You Really Got Me – Kinks
2. All Day And All Of The Night – Kinks
3. Sufragette City – David Bowie (because those instructions are actually on the album)
4. What Do You Do For Money Honey – AC/DC
5. Blitzkreig Bop – The Ramones
I’m about to call it a night, so it’s up to you, Lily, to keep the troops entertained.
I’m surprised no one got the correct top song to be played at full volume – Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf.
It’s getting slap happy at the hucklebug ranch isn’t it?
Marry, Bang (although I hate that verb), or Kill:
Jim Parsons, Jason Lee, and Jon Stewart.
Louis Garrel, Romain Duris, and Gregoire Colin.
Conan O’Brien, Carson Daly, and Joe Bob Briggs.
Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and Mark Sandford.
Tyrone Power, Cary Grant, and Rock Hudson.
Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Sid Vicious.
Crystal—
For each triplet, do we have to assign one for each category, or can we just give an opinion on each one? (so there could be a lot of death, sex, or polyandry)
Lily, you must assign one for each category.
