Questions Answered
who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?
Marlon Brando circa Last Tango In Paris
Do you have an ideal guy you'd want to date? He wouldn't be taller than you, slightly overweight, often avoids shaving for weeks, a little older than you, finished university, and probably not as intelligent as you, would he? I might know someone like tha
Is he happy though? I don't need them to be chipper but I've already dated someone who thought I should be responsible for his happiness and would take his unhappiness out on me even though it wasn't my fault.
My ideal guy would be a lot older than me and a lot smarter than me and kinda mean and wear suits all the time and probably be married. And we'd have rough sex and then he'd lecture me on the importance of the Vienna School on the avant garde movement as a whole or maybe the complete history of the falling out between Bataille and Lacan and then not talk to me for days.
Though right now I'm mostly interested in sleeping with strange men who I don't ever have to talk to again.
What countries do you know? Which ones would you like to? Maybe to live in one of these?
I know Canada and I stayed in Italy for 6 weeks this summer so I kinda, sorta know that. I'd like to live there/get to know it.
I've wanted to go to Germany and Japan for ages but haven't. I'd like to know that place.

What's your number one book recommendation right now?
The Collector by John Fowles. It's the only book I've ever read where I absolutely had to know what happened next. I think it's brilliant the way it plays with the sympathies and loyalties of the reader. I'm a fan of the movie too but Terrence Stamp was a poor casting choice for Freddie Clegg because he gives me stockholm syndrome.

If we were in a movie about two best friends with the same first name, which historical film movement/genre would it best fit?
It would be a teenage drama which would be filmed in the seventies and take place in the fifties. We'd be teenage detectives who investigate a murder at our high school and the boys at school would carry our books down the hallway and we'd wear cute fifties dresses. It would end up being the principle that’s an alcoholic and forced to do it from pressure of the mob and representing the corruption of America. We would be the idealized America who throughout the film become less and less innocent as the film progresses as we become exposed to the REAL America. The principle would be played by Richard Burton. Sam Peckinpah would have a cameo as the bar tender who gives us some important information at a crucial moment. It would be praised later on for having an Asian woman in the lead but often viewed as not going far enough when it came to the portrayal of women. It received a fair amount of praise critical and had some success but later became a cult classic.
