Same questions

#1 What do you do for a living?
#2 What's the most amazing/disgusting/life changing thing you've ever seen?
#3 What is your most prized possession and why?
#4 Who is your idol?
#5 What is your biggest regret in life?

All right, here goes....

1. What do you do?

Well, I'm a student, artist, mother, writer, musician, and all around oddball.
I'm getting a business degree at Heald right now in case everything else I do doesn't work out.:rolleyes:

2. What's the most amazing/disgusting/life changing thing you've ever seen?

My own death. I had a severe reaction to medication an incompetent doctor prescribed to me, and was clinically dead for six minutes. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, there was no sense of existence. I went away and came back, and all I remember is the ceiling of the emergency room slowly dissolving into nothing and the hair up the doctor's nose blowing while he yelled. After that, I decided that I had better start living while I could, because being dead wasn't so hot.

3. What is your most prized possession and why?

Well, first things first.....my sons, because they are my physical immortality.
As far as material possessions go, I have a backpack that's been my friend for fourteen years. When I left home, it was two years old, and I was sixteen, I believe. That backpack was my house, my friend, my pillow and my only anchor to real life for a good long while. It's been back and forth across the country more times than I can count, and every time life cuts me loose to drift it's there waiting for me. There's nothing special about it, it's an old Jansport that's been rolled in the dirt along I-10 from one end of the country to the other. But it's the most sentimental thing I own.

4. Who is your idol?

That's kind of a difficult question. Honestly, I don't look up to anyone. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that every person on the planet is bound to do something you don't like.
If I HAD to pick someone, it would probably be the Marquis de Sade. I admire his nads. I'm sure it wasn't easy to piss off that many people for that long, especially locked up in the nuthouse.

5. What is your biggest regret in life?

Honestly?
That I didn't have sex with Dave Mustaine when I had the chance to.:D

these are some really great answers - this is the best thread in years! Congrats Stubborn! Great Idea!

Yes! This thread is soooo good.

Tag threads are always nice. They usually die, though, for lack of people checking them.

don't feel bad - i did and let's just say the 'speed' isn't just in his metal. . . if you know what i mean

:D

so who's up next???

How about Flayed or Vamp... wanna tell the world about yourselves guys?

Are there any specific questions I'm supposed to answer?

Ok, try these, i know some of us have already answered them but they are good questions

#1 What do you do for a living?
#2 What's the most amazing/disgusting/life changing thing you've ever seen?
#3 What is your most prized possession and why?
#4 Who is your idol?
#5 What is your biggest regret in life?


and a couple more

#6 Who's your favourite villain, and why?
#7 If you could have 1 special ability/superpower what would it be?

I'm a plant manager for a contract packaging/returned goods processing plant. Basically, we bag bolts for companies that stock construction crews' toolboxes & sort out defective/overstocked/outdated autoparts from companies all over North America. Some of the bigger named companies we get returns from are Autozone, Advance Auto & Ozark/O'Reilly


When I was 19, a police chase after a bank robbery ended right in front of the movie theater I was working at. I was working box office, and I was surrounded by nothing but glass doors and windows. The police were pulling people from their cars and using them as road blocks. The robbers got out of the car with guns blazing, and the police fired a hail of bullets into them. I was so scared I almost had a panic attack. It was like being in the middle of an 80's action movie.

My dad has a kind of strange hobby; he digs for historical bottles. He has all kinds of cool shit, like name brand cure-alls from the old west medicine shows. One time, he found an evil looking little stone jester. It looks like it once had some kind of arms and legs, but they've most likely long biodegraded. So I just have this creepy little stone jester torso with a twisted face. He's my good luck charm.

Probably my great-grandfather. He fought in WWII & Korea. He was at D-Day. He has two purple hearts. He's also a wonderful, thoughtful man who was always very active. He was constantly tooling away in his woodshop making tables or whatever for anyone who wanted. When my great grandmother had her second stroke, she pretty much turned into a vegetable. He refused to let her go to a home. He hired a nurse to come to them and did whatever he could to pay for the bills. He also carried her around the house, changed her and bathed her for over 8 years as he crept into his 70's. Now he has a pacemaker, and he's still going. If I could be half the man that he's been in his life, I could die happy.

I had a traveling Shakespeare company interested in having me join right after High School. Instead, I decided I couldn't stand to be away from my wonderful *retch* high school sweetheart.


I like Long John Silver. He was more of a flawed, greedy man than a real villain. I like that fact. I also like the fact that even though he failed, he still got to disappear into infamy.


Why, to be able to turn water into funk, of course!

I'd like to throw a few over to alky.

#1. You're still pretty young, yet you know a lot more about horror movies than a lot of people my age. Where did your passion for cinema come from?

#2. I know you love the classics, especially B&W. Do you think they're more aesthetically pleasing, or something more along the lines of movies & actors back then having more heart?

#3. Enough about movies. What are some of your hobbies & interests?

#4. OK, more about movies: what are your feelings on burning DVDs?

#5. If you knew you were going to die right after you answered this question (and not answering ever isn't an option, smartass) what would you like to see written about you on your headstone?

From StygianWitch:

#1 What do you do for a living?

-At the moment I am unemployed. My last job was tree removal, after being in it for three years, my boss tried cheating me $200 from my check. Right now I am currently trying to get two different bands going. Working on two different books. Learning how to make jewlery and blacksmithing.-

#2 What's the most amazing/disgusting/life changing thing you've ever seen?

-Hmmmm....This is a tough one. Maybe horror movies. They cured my sqeamish-nish to blood and gore. That was a big thing for me.

#3 What is your most prized possession and why?

-My 1949 Cadillac hearse! Why? Guess!-

#4 Who is your idol?

-Hmmmm....Maybe Klayton from Circle of Dust. He inspired me to start writing music and presenting it.-

#5 What is your biggest regret in life?

-Haha, Probably ever getting involved with my ex. That is becoming the biggest pain in the ass.-


#6 Who's your favourite villain, and why?

-Freddy Krueger just because he rules!-


#7 If you could have 1 special ability/superpower what would it be?

-Invisibility....That way I could get away with a lot more stuff. Haha-

So...everyone's just answering the randoms 'less they get called out?

#1 What do you do for a living?
For another few weeks, nothing. Afterwards, fulltime student (catering, commercial cookery...etc) and I'll be looking at some work, hopefully in catering
rather than the restaurant thing...get a feel for the business that (I think) I'll most likely be going into myself.

#2 What's the most amazing/disgusting/life changing thing you've ever seen?
The inside of a few commercial kitchens...I don't eat out much anymore. Other than that, I've seen shooting stars, death of animals, a dead body or two, the haleys comet thing, childbirth...well video'd anyways.., and a bunch of just...weird, unusual stuff throughout the years, and none of them has really made any kind of "change" that I have taken note of.

#3 What is your most prized possession and why?
I don't know...I really like my knife? It's useful, I use it well, helps me in my favourite hobby, and I guess may one day protect me? It'd probably be that, or my bike which is fun AND helps both the environments and my health.

#4 Who is your idol?
Don't have one. I can admire what a person has done in their life, but I don't feel as though I want to "live up to" them, or be like them, which is what having a "idol" means to me...

#5 What is your biggest regret in life?
Indecision...didn't really know what I wanted to do for a long time, didn't really stop to figure it out...which is why now, at 25, I've only just got into something I love over the last year or so. Ongoing indecision too...still very much "not knowing what to do next"...

You guys are ruining stubborn's thread. :mad:

They told me to.

That's a good question. To be honest, it was kind of an out of the blue passion that started very, very early. You couldn't pick my dad out of a crowd to be mine- he's nothing like me. I'd say he watches probably 10 entire movies per year, and usually sleeps through those. I have my mom, in a way, to thank for my love of films. She got me started early with classics like Arsenic and Old Lace and Rear Window, along with a few horrors (I have early memories of Bride of Frankenstein). She gave me a variety of silver screen entertainment, but after awhile it became obvious that these movies were much more than just entertainment to me.

I guess the short answer to this is quite simple:
Life can be oh so cruel, but the warm, fuzzy memories I have are the ones in which I'm curled up on the couch with a blanket and some hot tea watching Dr. Strangelove or something with my mom. Cinema has been kind to me.

Absolutely, in a overwhelmingly romantic kind of way. Film was purer back then simply because it needed to be. The only thing people wanted was fantastical entertainment and an abundance of fictitious characters they could look up to. Actors like Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, and Clark Gable were chosen because they were masculine, heroic, and charming. Gorgeous actresses like Ingrid Bergman, Fay Wray, and Bette Davis were favorites because they were top-of-the-line women: beautiful, innocent, and dependent. To me, movies are more fun this way. When a movie is so thickly Hollywood-like you can swim in it, it seems easier to sink in and really escape your stresses, fears, and anxieties.

I'm a really self-dependent kind of guy. I enjoy my alone time quite a bit, and have been known to skip out on a party or event to sit at home next to the fireplace and just read. My imagination has been my best friend, since the day I was born. It's never let me down, and it's wild and spontaneous. So I challenge it; reading and writing are an abundant portion of my life. I like to write fiction, and I've given screenplays a shot a couple times, never to a point of satisfaction. As far as books go, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, and Stephen King (yes, he's mainstream and I love him) are my favorite authors. I draw quite frequently; I like using charcoal and charcoal pastels, and my fingers are usually an assortment of chalky colors in consequence. I enjoy listening to and collecting Old-Time Radio; my favorite radio personalities are Jack Benny, Bob Hope, and, of course, Vincent Price. Besides these things, I enjoy every other thing typical of a 17 year old kid.

I'm not anal about it or anything, but I do not partake in it myself. The reason? I feel like I'm hurting one of the only things I truly love. It's weird, because I love music, yet I burn CDs. There's just some hidden guilt I have for copying movies.

And besides that, I like having a pure DVD collection.

Not posting a new one?

Gimme a second, Speed Racer. :p



This one's for The_Return:

#1. Has there ever been a movie that truly inspired you? I'm talking changed a way of thinking, an emotion, an opinion, or even your life? Which movie(s), and why?

#2. Who do you look up to, and why?

#3. What is your proudest memory?

#4. What would your perfect day consist of?

#5. Dracula (1931) is almost your trademark film. Whenever I see it, hear of it, or read about it I immediately think of you. What about the film attracts you so much? What aesthetics, techniques, or attributes make the film so dear to you?

#6. What are your plans after High School?

#7. What do you want to see happen before you pass away?

Thats a bit harsh....i'm usually at work so its kind of "hit & run" when I post.....I don't always see every thread and with all the foolish shit going on in the general forum lately, I've been perusing less frequently.

#1 What do you do for a living?--Shipping manager for a small manufacturing company.

#2 What's the most amazing/disgusting/life changing thing you've ever seen?--I can probabaly answer all in one...the birth of my last son...amazing...disgusting [he looked like a big butterball]..life changing [he was born as my mother was dying of cancer..it kind of changed my outlook on life]

#3 What is your most prized possession and why?--my projector/movies in surround sound on a 100 inch screen...it don't get better than that.

#4 Who is your idol?--Don't really have one.

#5 What is your biggest regret in life?--I always wanted to write or perhaps learn to play a musical instrument..pref.. guitar[I suppose its not too late for either]

OK sorry I'm late with this, I don't spend all day here you know.

#1 What do you do for a living?

I work for the Department of the Army and I work part time at a gym. I go to school at night; my major is English.

#2 What's the most amazing/disgusting/life changing thing you've ever seen?

For years, a close friend of mine told me he was something that he was not. I investigated his past and when I found out he'd been lying to me all that time about who he was and what he did, I cut off all contact with him. I trust people far less these days.

#3 What is your most prized possession and why?

Nothing I own has sentimental value. All of it can be replaced.

The coolest thing I own . . . a Benelli Super 90 M1 Tactical semi-automatic shotgun.

#4 Who is your idol?

John Brown, the abolitionist.

He waged guerrilla warfare against slave holders in Kansas. He then attacked an arsenal in Harper's Ferry to steal weapons; the attack failed and he was hung for treason, but he became a martyr and his execution probably led directly to the civil war.

#5 What is your biggest regret in life?

When I was on active duty in the army, I had a chance to go to a Ranger battalion. I've always wondered how well I'd have done there. That's the kind of thing you can only do when you're young.

As odd as this sounds, I have to say Office Space. Really inspired me not to take stuff so seriously. The scene in the bar where he's telling Micheal Bolton (:p) that he just lost his job, and the speech he gives afterwards, is one of the most inspirational moments ever put on film.

I really dont have a role model, per se. I look up to my father because he's just an all-around good person, but thats about it.

Probably the first time that I was on stage somewhere other than my school. I was in a production of Peter Pan at a major local theatre, and even though it was a fairly small part and there was hardly any audience, stepping onto that stage was like nothing I'd ever felt. I had done school plays and stuff before, but that was just such a magical feeling.

I guess that isnt really "proudest", now that I think about it. I guess that would be when I got a role in a major local production of A Christmas Carol. As far as community theatre goes, it was with a fairly prestigious group,,,amazing experience. It was only the second "real" auditon I had been to (outside of school, I mean), and when I was contacted to say I got the part I was estaticly proud of myself.

- Sleeping in
- Having a nice, big breakfast...bacon, scrambled eggs, hasbrowns, ect.
- Taking a nice, long relaxing shower
- Going for a long walk with my girlfriend
- Sitting down at home to watch a good movie alone with her.

Im easy to please, and as far as Im concerned that is heaven.

Two reasons.

The first is sheer nostalgia. I remember watching it when I was very young, and my parents tell me that its the first horror movie that I ever watched. I was drawn to it like no other movie, and even though I didnt watch it nearly as often as, say, Sword in the Stone, it left a huge impact on me. The Count was just so magical...powerful...I really dont remember watching it as a child save for one scene, near the first when he stops his brides from attacking Renfield. That scene alone left a huge impression on me.

The second is because almost every aspect of the filmmaking is flawless. About 2 years ago (roughly), I watched the film for the first time since I was around 5, and for the first time I realized what a truely beautiful film it is. The cinematography, score and sets are all beautiful in their simplicity. Browning builds and incredibly foreboding atmopshere right from the opening credits, with the piece from Swan Lake playing over that image of a bat.

The performances are really what elevates the film. Lugosi is beyond iconic in the role; he brought a whole new kind of monster to the screen: Suave and seductive yet still terrifying. Dwight Frye as Renfield is quite possibly the greatest supporting role in any movie, ever. He bring such depth to the character and no matter how many times I watch this movie I find myself clinging to his every word, and as an actor he has really become an infulence on me. The rest of the cast is very strong as well, but those are the two performances that really make the film.

In all honesty Im not 100% sure as yet. I plan to take some sort of acting/theatre course at University, but beyond that I dont really have any set pllans. My dream is to become a successful actor, I hust dont have the map drawn out yet.

In my personal life, or the world as a whole?

Personally, I want success as an actor and a loving family with at least one child.

For the world as a whole, I want to see significant advances in space exploration and technology. Our future as a species lies in the stars, and if we dont make big leaps pretty soon, I think not only society but life as we know it is screwed.

calling people assholes works so well though. :D

Im shocked that nobody has done Haunted yet. This one is for you:

1 - Did your parents raise you with the same set of beliefs that you have now, or did you discover them on your own?

2 - If you could change just one aspect of "western" society, what would it be?

3 - What do you think bout how "witches" are typically represented in history, film and literature?

4 - What song lyric do you think best decribes you?

5 - What is your all-time favourite film, and why?

6 - Have you watched Suspiria yet? (:p)

somebody should do me!

What is the most sillyest thing you have ever done..??

OK, I got one. We were making cookies in home ec. A friend of mine thought it would be funny to throw some of the flour on my back because we were in that kind of mood and the teacher was away. We were all having fun while the teacher was out doing something outside the class. Anyway I decided to get my friend back so I snuck up on her with a couple huuuuge handfuls of flour and when she turns around I throw it all in her face. muahahaha

So she's got flour all over her face and all in her hair and pretty much all over, she runs to the big flour thing and is chasing me around our cooking section (kinda closed off to the other sections) with it. Eventually she gets me back and then the teacher gets back in the class and shes like "What the hell happened?!" She's just about to give the "you're not in elementary school anymore" talk when my friend spits out some flour and I blurt out "We couldn't wait for our cookies to bake" and the two of us just started laughing. Everyone was laughing at us because we were absolutely COVERED in flour. :D

who is your fav horror director..??

Alfred Hitchcock. Wow, his movies are amazing. He can make absolutely anything suspenseful... I don't really care about any other director really they all have different movies I like.

5 words or less on how you would end an epidemic of some sort.

Stop, drop and roll baby.

What is the most sillyest thing you have ever done..??
