Random Sunday questions borne from avoidance

because I'm in a kind of avoiding mood today. So I meme. Plus it's rainy.

A simple meme of two-two-one-one.


If you choose to reply,


Please list two movies you think I should see and why you thought of me for these movies?

Please list two books you think I should read and why you thought of me for these books?

Please list one TV show you think I should see and why you thought of me for this show?

One website you think that you should see



I'll start by doing one as if I was replying to this quiz to someone on my FList who I will not name.

*waves*



The movies?

V for Vendetta. That movie resonates with me, and I think that you would appreciate it for the modern classic it is.

Three Kings. Accurate depiction of modern war, and a great acting job by the three principal actors. One of the first "I will not act in crap" movies by George Clooney, before his recent pledge to not act in crap.

The Books?

"Jingo" by Terry Pratchett. Written for another time, but almost prophetic. Even though it's comic gold, and does include a great visual of Nobbs in a dress. (This could have easily been "Thud", if only for the backhand that Pratchett gives the Dan Brown genre of books)

I'll go with "Among the Believers" by Naipaul for my second book. naipaul no longer writes comic books, but this one is pretty meaty reading.

TV show?

*ponders*

The Life and Times of Juniper Lee? Pretty decent for a Cartoon Network cartoon. Would have preferred Samurai Jack, but ah, well.



That is the draft example. :P


Anybody wanna give me some recommendations?

Filtering my mailbox

Being bored, I have filtered my mailbox.

Shit, there is a LOT of unanswered mail here. If you guys get LJ replies from me from a long time ago, it's because I'm now seeing the automated notifications that LJ sends out.

Time to gradually be more social.

Um... if someone female sends you kitsume porn, what should you do?
