This is so hard! There are so many books made into movies. A book that changed my life that much later when technology made it possible to make as a good movie was 'Lord of the Rings' series.
Because of lack of non-verbal communications (body language & voice variations) it is easy to have a misunderstanding on-line.
Have you ever had a problem such as that?
Odin does have the disadvantage of missing an eye, but I find, generally speaking, that the Greek deities are at bit wimpy compared to the Norse equivalents. I pick Odin.
What is the most embarrassing thing to happen while you were on a date? (keep it clean)
I can not thank all of you enough. I take great joy from reading the jokes you leave here. I owe you all a debt of gratitude, especially to Dreamcatcher. Thanks Larry!
Hi again Eva! Welcome! I've enjoyed your stories enough to buy your book. Looking forward to starting it. I didn't pay the .99 price, I do like to help out students when I can even though it is not very much. Make sure to let us know if you put out anymore books.
I believe Fuzzy & Rebellious_Soul are the two writers with the most followers.
To continue this dangerous line of questioning, which writer have you learned the most from on Stories Space?
I'm a warrior elf. In the CYOA Fantasy War thread we warrior elves are on an important mission, but the elves keep wandering off. We are presently trying to figure out what to do to the wizards we came across. And the rumor you may have heard is a lie. We are wearing underwear!
After that answer, do you think I've lost it; and if so, what can I do to get it back? And yes I did take my medicine this morning.
Renaissance Era, but both would really suck unless I was part of the 1%. Even then it wouldn't be that good.
What is the one thing that can make you irrationally mad/angry?
The Chicago Bears!!!
Ohhhhh, you said the Super Bowl. I thought you said the Toilet Bowl.
Sorry Carl. I'll re-do the question.
Carl said, "For my american friends who wins the super bowl this year?"
(I know this is an Ask & Answer question, but let us slide this one time. Please!!!!!!)
Big old honking coconut cake!
What is more likely to bring a tear to your eye in a movie; a sad melancholy moment or a happy joyous moment?
The moon. I want to find out if there is a Starbucks there yet.
American football or football (Soccer for you Yanks)
'1941' (1979) It is a hilarious line when a Japanese soldier is trying to get a large radio into the submarine.
"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?"
Sorry the lines I love so much are usually too easy, like this one.
Can I have both. If I have to pick, slap, but I prefer slap & tickle.
A quiet traditional service or a loud joyous service?
'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance'
If they are both the same quality, short, but length is of no importance compared to how good it is.
An eight thousand word story or the same story in four 2000 word chapters?
'Blade Runner' (1982) A true Sci-fi classic. It was set in November 2019, that's five years from now. What happened, I want my robots!
from one of my top ten favorite movies: "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"
'Gremlins' (1984) I showed that movie to my grandkids a few months ago.
"Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape."
One of the most interesting minds on the site. He never fails to amaze me.
1984 (1984) I love the follow-up line by Julia; "Well, I ought to suit you, then. I'm corrupt to the core." (one of my favorite lines)
Here an easy one, but I love this line too.
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."
Axe (but really would rather have a shotgun)
cake or pie
'Ghostbusters' (1984)
MP: So when the cat has got your tongue, there's no need for dismay! Just summon up this word, and then you've got a lot to say! But better use it carefully or it could change your life...
B: For example...
MP: Yes?
B: One night I said it to me girl, and now me girl's me wife. (angry wife hits him with a tambourine)
B: Ow! And a lovely thing she is, too.
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
Tiger Shark (BTW what happened to Q?)
Yes.
Will you be a better person in 2014?
Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
This (simliar) quote is used twice in the movie.
1st time - T: (before having sex with QG) This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this. I'm not your King.
2nd time - QG: (having stabbed T and while holding sword into his body) This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this. I am not your Queen!
"Odd Thomas" (2013)
JK: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

JK: Well, its still a hell of a quote.
No and I hope you don't either.
If you could give any gift to a special person in your life, what would it be and who would it be for?
