Interview meme.

[whatho]

I can't be bothered looking for a proper one, but I'm sure they exist. Mostly I want to make a post without the trouble of ferreting around for a subject. I haven't done any sort of an interview meme in decades probably, or years at least, or at the very outside, months. So, yes, there. Ask me questions about stuff. That's what I'm saying. Anything mostly. I mean, largely I was thinking questions about me, but whate'er. Not quantam physics. I just reserve the right to answer 'LA LA LA' if I so desire.

1. What is your earliest theatrical memory?
2. What is your least favourite poem?
3. What colour would you paint your wagon?
4. What would be your downfall as a spy?
5. Giraffes or kangaroos?

Oh, those are brilliant questions. I'll do them properly in a post, I think. Bravo.

1) Who is your favourite in Babylon 5 and WHY?

2) Please give a considered appraisal of Neil Kinnock.

3) What is your worst ever exam experience?

4) Name your favourite thing that is yellow.

5) Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Ancona reform the Two Ronnies and perform a classic Two Ronnies sketch. OMG which?

THANK YOU. I've decided I probably shouldn't answer in proper posts now because that's called spamming.

1. I've seen ONE EPISODE of Babylon 5. Ha. You were thinking it was NONE. I believe my favourite was Kosh. For his shape. And I know Rousseau comes into a lot more later and she'd probably turn out to be my proper favourite for being Rousseau.

2. He was the good guy when I was growing up, but we longed for John Smith on the whole. He was a very bad guest presenter on HIGNFY. We used to mock him for speaking too much with his hands. Rob Brydon told Stephen Fry his father used to say 'Hells bells and buckets of blood' when he dropped hammers on his feet, and the only person I've ever seen saying that phrase out loud is Neil Kinnock, so I'm quietly assuming Neil Kinnock is Rob Brydon's father. Steve Coogan genuinely does do a very good impression of him.

3. That was a three-hour Shakespeare exam in year two of uni that counted for actual points. It was a good exam that I could've answered properly if I hadn't decided that the last thing I could possibly do right now was sit still in an exam hall answering questions about Shakespeare, so I summoned an invigilator and made her walk with me round and round a nearby park for almost an hour. Then I went back and finished the exam. On balance it was a bit of a waste of an hour considering I really couldn't explain what was amiss.

4. Custard.

5. Swedish Made Simple.

1. If you could go back in time and kill Jack from Lost when he was a baby, WOULD YOU DO IT? Is there ANYONE you would kill when they were a baby? I can never think of any other questions so I am trying to compromise by not asking it about Hitler.

2. What makes a perfect fictional character? By 'perfect' I mean 'a character that hits as many of your fictional-character-kinks as possible' rather than necessarily one that's perfectly-written.

3. You have to have lunch with one person from history. If you don't, you will die. Who would you have lunch with?

4. Do you come up with names for hypothetical children? If so, what are they? If not, this question is a bit pointless so I suppose you should make some up on the spot or something, I don't know.

5. MORE TIME TRAVEL: you can go back in time four years and give yourself one piece of advice. What would it be?

[whatho.livejournal.com]

1. OH GOD. No, and also there isn't anyone I'd kill as a baby though Jack's PROBABLY THE MOST TEMPTING. What I would do is rub out 'Matthew Fox' in the cast lists and write in 'Shah Rukh Khan' instead.

2. I love that question more than most other questions ever. Failure is key. Generally I think the character that comes closest to hitting my most significant buttons is Rimmer, or he would do if he worked in an office and wore better collars. But yes. My perfect fictional character is self-loathing, consistently thwarted, chronically under-achieving, has quite a nice singing-voice, prone to migraines, snarky and guilty and possessed of a grumpy father-figure. Preferably bearded.

3. WOW. The Reverend Sidney Smith. Apparently his serving people used to drop things at dinner because they were laughing too hard.

4. I'm not good at names. When I write stuff, people tend to be 'Old Man' and 'Woman B' for a terribly long time before I actually come up with a proper name. But probably yes, I do that sometimes. Cletus, Napoleon, Mavis, Dogface, Rutabaga, Horace and Sprout. For example.

5. I don't think four years is long enough for me to make much of a difference. I'd made all my major mistakes by late 2003. I'd tell myself my brother had a girlfriend. I'd point out that screenplay was never actually going to work as a screenplay. I'd gently break it to myself that falling in love with Locke from Lost in the summer of the following year isn't going to pan out in the long run.

Can I play?

1. Your plays will be produced, but you can never go to the theatre (or derivatives thereof) ever again... Do you accept?

2. What do you like most about yourself?

3. Joss Whedon - great or gruesome?

4. What's the scariest thing that's happened in your life?

5. First crush?

[whatho.livejournal.com]

Yay!

1. Oh, that's so mean! No. I couldn't do that. Especially if they cast Rob Brydon.

2. Oh, I'm not much into the whole liking stuff about myself thing. My purple doc martens.

3. I know very little of him or his work, to be honest. I saw a few episodes of Firefly and found it kind of boring. I've never seen Buffy.

4. I was probably at my most scared en route to India ... and then at my most miserable leaving it, which made the scariness seem profoundly silly.

5. Dennis Taylor. I was four.

[lolabobs.livejournal.com]

Dennis Taylor! So sweet!

[whatho.livejournal.com]

I was mortified when I wasn't allowed to stay up late to watch him win the World Championship final against Steve Davis in 1985 ....

1. Have you seen this?

2. HOW MANY FILMS A YEAR SHOULD SRK GENERALLY MAKE?

3. DOES HE CURRENTLY DO THAT AND IF NOT OH GOD WHHHHHHHHY?

4. Can you think of a programme that would NOT be improved by SRK?

5. Do you love SRK?

[whatho.livejournal.com]

1. OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD. Oh my god. I HAD NO IDEA. That's by the Chopras. The Chopras loves him. Wikipedia says December 12th. He's wearing glasses. OH MY GOD.

2. THAT WOULD BE NINETY-SEVEN.

3. HE DOESN'T. I CAN ONLY ASSUME HE DOESN'T LOVE US. I DON'T KNOW IN WHAT SENSE WE HAVE WRONGED HIM.

4. YOU JEST. SURELY YOU JEST.

5. YES. YES I DO SLIGHTLY. BEST INTERVIEW EVER.

I can't stop looking at that poster. SORRY FOR CAPITALS but you brought it on yourself.

[jekesta]

IT JUST LOOKS LIKE MAYBE HE HAS MADE THE BEST FILM IN THE UNIVERSE. I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE THIS BECAUSE HE IS IN IT AND WEARING GLASSES, BUT I THINK IT MAYBE MEANS HE DOES LOVE US. MAYBE IT IS THE LENGTH OF NINETY-SEVEN FILMS, MAYBE WE WILL GET TO SPEND ABOUT THREE WEEKS IN THE CINEMA JUST WATCHING SRK. THAT WOULD BE A NICE RUN UP TO CHRISTMAS REALLY.

I LIKE THE CAPITALS A LOT. I THINK THEY ARE ONLY REASONABLE.

[whatho.livejournal.com]

I WOULD HAPPILY CLEAR MY CALENDER TO SEE THREE WEEKS OF SRK. IT'S ALL I REALLY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS.

lskdfjlaksdjflsdkfjsldkfjsldkfsjdfsd. HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. OH WELL DONE, HIM.

[whatho.livejournal.com]

It means A COUPLE MADE BY GOD. There's a rumour that he's playing a dual role, so I'm going to assume that the couple made by god is SRK/SRK.

[jekesta]

IT IS THE COUPLE I WOULD MAKE IF I WERE GOD.

[whatho.livejournal.com]

WHY ARE YOU NOT GOD? STOP NOT BEING GOD.

[jekesta]

We're working a ridiculous rota system. I'm not god again for another 54 years.
