As a little boy, I've always had a penchant to collect things. I didn't really have a criteria in collecting anything; I simply hunt for objects and gather them. Somethings were pretty useless like bottle caps or shiny pebbles but they were nice to look at from time to time. Action figures of superheroes were also part of my room's exhibit as a boy

I would have the power of super speed. With so many things to do in a fast paced, get it done yesterday world, super speed would really help us out.

[bettanyp]

Smart thinking there. More time to relax or is that done in super speed too?

[nicmkidman]

Invisibility. That way I could watch the world without it watching me at the same time.

[bettanyp]

Ah. Very ninja-like of you. How have you been?

[shashmore]

Working on comic book movies has turned me off to the idea of having superpowers. The whole "curse" aspect is as overwhelming as the "blessing." As long as I don't have to wait for a superhero savior, I'm quite contend with being a civilian.

[shashmore]

Content, too. Maybe my superpower can be using my dyslexia to my advantage.

[bettanyp]

That's a nice thought. I never said you had to conform to the "traditional" superpowers.

[fassbender]

I think I'd either choose invisibility or telekinesis.

[bettanyp]

Why telekinesis?

[fassbender]

pure facination and a touch of laziness. I could clean my kitchen just by looking at it and making objects move and bend to my will.

I agree with the man up there. Telekinesis is pretty high up on my list of superpowers. When we were Africa last month I found a tchotke shop that you would love. Everything ordinary and extraordinary and all these little trinkets and souvenirs. Unfortunately you were back in the hotel with the kids and I forgot about it when I returned, until now. We'll have to make our way back sometime. I'd love to see your reaction when you first step foot into the store.

This mental image of you with a glass of whiskey and dainty cheese cubes just popped into my head and made me laugh a little. I love you.

[bettanyp]

We must definitely go back. Perhaps it could be a pitstop coming home from Bali or something. I might go a little crazy when we get in the store so feel free to deny the fact that you know me.

And I love you. I'm actually snacking on cheese right now.

[jl_connelly]

Oh I'll bring along one of those big floppy hats and step out of the shop when you go mad, trying to purchase anything and everything. Then maybe when we're back in New York I'll sell whatever doesn't fit on ebay. I mean, honestly, people will pay good money for something that Paul Bettany himself picked out all the way in Africa!

Bet you didn't know that I miss you so much whenever I'm on set that I take around cheese cubes to pretend you're there. Sometimes I sneak a piece or two, but don't tell anyone that. They might think I've gone crazy.

[bettanyp]

Please get your credit card handy, love. You never know what I would want to buy. What if I happened to pick gum, think they'd buy that too?

That's adorable. You eat cheese cause of me. A bit strange yes, but cute, nonetheless.
