Ask a question, answer a question

Yep Orwell.

Pride and Prejudice probably. Well it's the one I've read the most over the years so I suppose it must be. Although my more recent favourite was The Lovely Bones.

What was the last film you saw at the cinema and what do you want to go see?

It’s been awhile - last film I saw at the cinema was Ender’s Game (loved the book, movie was worthwhile). I wanna see The Imitation Game, but I’ll prolly wait for it to be out on iTunes - i.e. about one of my historical heroes (Turing) played by one of my favourite actors (Cumberbatch - yum).

Top two favourite movie stars?

oo a cumberbitch are we QP? I like him too.

Fave 2 movie stars if we're talking men would be Johnny Depp and Sean Bean.

Women would be Sandra Bullock and Sigourney Weaver.

If you could be anyone famous (dead or alive) for the day who would you be?

I'm going to get really weird and gender bending and...

Hmm.

Harder than I thought.

Never mind. I'm ovrrthinking it. Stick with the weird $#%^. Jayne Mansfield. Satisfy my gender curiosity and be smokin' hot. If I were her for a day if spend half the day cruising around Hollywood being hot, and the other half naked in front of a mirror.
Just sayin'...

If you could be a cartoon character for a day.....? Who?

Haha cruising around Hollywood being hot.

Yep EM - definitely a cumberb*tch. He's an ultra-humble, non-arrogant hotty who can act the pants of pretty much any other actor, what's not to like?

---

Probably Eric Cartman (from Southpark). Just a morbid curiosity over what it'd be like to live with very little conscience (i.e. be a narcissistic/borderline-psychopathic remorseless little twat) just for a day.

If you could be a super hero for a day, who would you be?

Doesn't my avatar say anything?!?!??? lol jk (I picked it for the similarities to my own physical appearance).

Do you believe that our actions/emotions are translucent to an unseen higher Power?

Nope. But what would I know? The way I see it though - no. Laudations on the use of long, impressive words though lol.

(I stole this question from somewhere else, thought it was worth stealing) - If you could choose between world peace and Bill Gates’ fortune, what colour would your Lamborghini be?

That's an interesting question. I assume I only answer the automobile one but for me I like to do what no one else does. Probably the reason why I've never had friends but here goes. I'd choose world peace, yeah with all that money I could buy my way into Elysium (we live in a plutocracy not a democracy) and live out a lovely life but I'd much rather see everyone get a long. The best way we can do it is unite everyone under one banner but if you reach it through having the pointiest sticks or the most peaceful words. But having the pointiest sticks prevails over everything. Sorry about that I really enjoy political conversing, not that I have anyone to do it with. And back to the automobile question,white I suppose? I don't live in a country with a positive climate so collecting heat isn't much of a problem but it would be safer for everyone around me at night.

Now my question. I doubt you'll even answer it, lots of people just skip or refuse to my questions in forums. But oh well:

Do you feel that the ending in 1984 would ultimately result in a more better ending for Winston or made is life worse?

I'm game. Let's see, a young g/f, a lovers' nest down in Proletown, black market coffee and $#%^, stickin' it to The Man every thought and act of fornication, or sitting with dentures in a lousy gin joint drinking paint thinner and getting a hard on over fake news bulletins...

The post-One Oh One Winnie might think he's better off, but I wanna take O'Brian's face-stamping boot and smack him upside the head with it.

So, no.

Do you use Newspeak words in conversation?

No. But if I used English daily maybe I would sometimes. But I don't like that story. I stopped reading it after the point where Winston and Julia were together in bed. Reading details of this is problematic from my point of view, and I didn't want to read this at later times when they meet.
However I've been told what happens in the end.
I wrote an answer for the previous post and I can't erase it now

I think that life for Winston became worse. Because I believe that not living in a lie is much more important than living happily. And the lie he lives in for the rest of his life is terrible. I consider him insane.

Had to answer this one too, sorry

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known." Sidney Carton in Charles Dickens' A Tale Of Two Cities.

Is it a good thing that children and teens are exposed to all the sayings of rappers, songwriters, screenwriters and authors?
