Fun Meme is FUN! Questions from a Who In Whoville
Comment to this post, and I will list five things I want you to talk about. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your journal. Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.
who_in_whoville gave me these awesome questions!
1. What action hero do you want by your side when you face the bad guys? That's a tough one, cause I like so many of them. Also, actor or character? >_> But I think at the end of the day, I would want for action hero actor-type to have the Governator by my side, in the hope I find out he's a Terminator who's supposed to protect me. :) Character-wise, I would want Robin, Tim Drake, as the guy is fast, brilliant, techno-saavy, and can beat the hell out of any thug coming my way. :)
2. As you are a theater teacher, which play is your favorite for newbie actors? If you're looking at strictly non-musical, I absolutely love Much Ado About Nothing for newbie actors. The wit is quick and sharp, and even if the actors know next to nothing about Shakespeare, it's fun to teach how to dissect and analyze. Musical-wise, Little Shop of Horrors is a great one for actors with little experience in comedy, because the iconic film gives them a starting point.
3. Dream cast your favorite play with stage, screen or TV actors. Hahaha, oooh, I could do this all day. BUT, Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite play, I will drop anything to go see it.
Sooo, dream cast:
Benedick - David Tennant (Holy crap, he was amazing on West End)
Claudio - Daniel Radcliffe
Don Pedro - Chris Evans
Don John - Topher Grace (that man does evil sooo well)
Balthasar - Wayne Brady
Borachio - James McAvoy
Conrade - David Hewlett
Leonato - Leonard Nimoy
Hero - Natalie Portman
Beatrice - Catherine Tate (again, I think they've made those two iconic)
Margaret - Kelly Monaco
Ursula - Glenn Close
Friar Francis - Anthony Head
Dogberry - Nathan Fillon(especially as Captain Hammer)
Verges - Neil Patrick Harris
4. What qualities comprise your ideal man? Hm, physically, I like the dark hair, bright eyes, skinny kind, but I like them built, too. The important personality traits are honesty, charisma, an ability to make me laugh, take charge attitude, not afraid to speak his mind, and optimistic. I like glass half-full people. ^_^
5. What was the plot of that unfinished novel as noted in your original reply? (referencing Last of the Peacekeepers) Aaah, the plot of that novel follows a 20-something woman who has moved to the new entertainment capital of the US after a quake destroys California, where she meets a mysterious man who saves her life after her building is bombed. He hands her a sword and teaches her how to fight as she is pursued by demons. it turns out that she is the last in a line of Judeo-Christian demon hunters that have been nearly exterminated. And he's her bodyguard. And it just gets more complicated from there as she meets the rest of the Orders that relate to the same line she is born from, finds out what happened to her parents, and tries to defend her friends and her city from the demons that have decided to tip the balance of good and evil in their favor. For those who are curious, this is actually in the same universe as Genesis Avalon, about 30 years in the future.
