If you had the power to erase one thread from Hype existence...what would it be?

That's a tough one...I can't say there has been a single thread I hated

favorite spider-man movie?
Spider-Man 1, I know 2 gets much of the love, but I was never able to get over some of the silly moments like the "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" montage.
favorite batman?
The Dark Knight for sure, followed by Batman Begins. Batman and Batman Returns will always have a special place in my heart though
Iron man or TIH?
Iron Man, I've never found the Hulk all that interesting, and Downey Jr. just oozes Tony Starks personality in that role. Spot on casting
home alone, or uncle buck?
Home Alone, fun fact, first movie I ever saw in theaters
do you like film scores?
Love them, I like to listen to them in the morning when I shower for work. It's nice and relaxing for the early hours
if so, which ones?
The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Batman, Batman Returns, Gladiator, Unbreakable, quite a few more
dave chappelle or tyrone biggums?
Dave, Tyrone is hilarious, but I like a lot of the other skits Dave did on hs show
star wars or star trek?
Before last year, I would have said Star Wars. After Star Trek 2009 I may have to rethink that. I still don't care about the previous movies or TV shows but JJ made a great movie
do you like the prequels?
Depends how well they are done, but I'm certainly open to them. Sadly most have been rather poor
Favorite type of music?
classic rock
what type of music do you hate?
hip hop
Do you read harry potter?
nope
if so, which is your favorite book?
n/a
if so, which is your favorite harry potter movie?

Have you ever used a typewriter to write up a school report?
Nope, raised on a computer
Do you remember the library card catalogs?
Sure do, used the library a lot when I was in elementary school. I was always reading up on Titanic books
At what grade level did you first have a computer in the classroom?
I'm going to say...fourth grade, maybe third
At what age did you first have a cell phone?

13 years old, didn't want one at the time but my mom wanted me to have one since I stayed after school to play baseball. I now work for Verizon Wireless, go figure

[BatMatt]

Who is your favorite athlete currently and why?
I don't know...I tend to root for the team over a certain player. So it'd have to be one of the LA Dodgers or Buffalo Bills
What was the most scariest moment in your life and why?
Nothing too scary so far (again knock on wood).
What are your feelings on the current Miss CT? If you are unfamilar with her then how do you feel about the Miss USA pageant in general?
I feel the Miss USA pageant is just a lot of fluff and a waste of time. I don't think anyone sees the contestants as role models. Probably just a big ploy for sponsor money at this point
What is your most guiltiest pleasure, and why?
Chocolate..and alcohol
What's the most romantic thing you've done for another person?
I can be very elaborate around times of like Valentine's Day, but I haven't had anyone to be romantic for in quite a while...and that doesn't bother me really.
What do you see yourself doing when you're 57?
Hopefully winding down a successful career...OR working at my own bar
When you were a child what did you want to grow up and be?
Since around 13 I wanted to be on TV, and I was for awhile
What is your most valuable item you own? Is it your favorite item? If not then what is your favorite item and why?

My home theater system as a whole, and yes it is my pride and joy. I love movies, so most of my free money goes into that.

 

[Halloween]

Favorite holiday and why?

 

[BatMatt]

Favorite holiday and why?

My favorite holiday for the most part is Christmas, because well, while it's superficial, I always did love to receive gifts. So being honest my fondness of Christmas doesn't stem from spending time with family, the season of giving, or any of that other blah blah blah. I love Halloween too, ever since freshmen year of college, it's like the best party weekend. And chicks dig the batsuit

 

[Erzengel]

Single, dating, married, divorced, widowed?

If single, when's the last time you went on a date?

If dating or married, how long have you been with said person and how did you meet.

If you're divorced or widowed, you can just finish there.

 

[BatMatt]

Single, dating, married, divorced, widowed?
Single
If single, when's the last time you went on a date?
A real date? Like four years ago, everything since has been pretty informal, I usually just meet up with someone at a bar, and it's never just the two of us.
If dating or married, how long have you been with said person and how did you meet.

If you're divorced or widowed, you can just finish there.

 

[Marx]

Of the 'Big 3' reality shows (The Amazing Race, Big Brother, and Survivor) which one would you like to be a contestant on and why?

 

[SapphirePrima]

Are you a Harry Potter fan? If so, then what house do you think you'd fit in with the most and why? If not then please discuss your views on the current state of music industry.

Life is a show, what kind of show would your life be if a show were to be based on your life and why?

What was the most heartbreaking thing you ever saw, and why?

Have you ever made anyone cry? What did you do? If not then when was the last time someone made you cry and why?

 

[BatMatt]

Of the 'Big 3' reality shows (The Amazing Race, Big Brother, and Survivor) which one would you like to be a contestant on and why?

Big Brother, basically a vacation with great weather, attractive ladies, and lots of socializing. I really don't care how long I lasted either, as long as I got some screen time

Are you a Harry Potter fan? If so, then what house do you think you'd fit in with the most and why? If not then please discuss your views on the current state of music industry.
I'm not...so...I do not care for music at all these days. I'm very much a classic rock fan, and I value deep and meaningful lyrics, and unique creative sounds from different artists. Today everything pretty much sounds the same, as if it was factory produced.
Life is a show, what kind of show would your life be if a show were to be based on your life and why?
A cross between Seinfeld and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I hang with a tight group of friends (one set in Connecticut, one in New York). We always end up in crazy situations and aren't the most compassionate to other people...and we drink
What was the most heartbreaking thing you ever saw, and why?
Another tough one...oh well when my grandma passed, my grandpa was incredibly devoted to her and loved her very much...and to see how much that affected him. I don't know if I've ever seen something quite like it
Have you ever made anyone cry? What did you do? If not then when was the last time someone made you cry and why?

Yep, either from being rather cold to someone, or if someone really liked me and the feelings weren't mutual

[BatMatt]

When I was a kid I always wanted to be on the original Double Dare or Wild and Crazy Kids
you're going on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which member of the Hype would be your Phone-A-Friend?
hmmm depends on the question I guess, there are certainly a lot of knowledgeable people here on a wide variety of subjects
Congrats, you've been cast on MTV's the Real World! Which 6 Hype members would you pick to live in a house with you? Why?
ha, I have no idea. Might as well pick six strangers really. Maybe my friends from the Blu-Ray thread, at least we could all agree to watch some movies
Which two Hype Members would you like to compete against in Jepoardy?
spiderfreddie and...one of his other usernames
Which two Mods?
Marx and Sube, just based on their political interest and knowledge
Who is your Hype drunken duet partner?
anyone who wants to share some beers with me is fine in my book
What will you sing?

let's go with Johnny Cash

What is your favorite American City and why?
Las Vegas, been there three times and absolutely loved the place. The architecture, the scenery, and the city just screams sex. Of course I was under 21 everytime I was there so I can only imagine how much I'd enjoy it now
Have you ever been on an Easter Egg hunt? If so what is your fondest memory of it?
I have but honestly they're really not the memorable
If you do not celebrate Easter then what's your favorite thing about the spring and why?
baseball, longer nights, warmer weather
What do you think about the current state of American television? How does it differ from 10 years ago?

I don't care for reality TV or MTV at all...with that said there are some great TV shows still on the air, so original TV is not dead in my book

Do you still support John Kerry for President?
Reporting for duty!

What are your thoughts on the 'Drive Thru Diet?' (The commercial with the woman claiming that she lost weight by eating nothing but Taco Bell.)

 

[BatMatt]

What are your thoughts on the 'Drive Thru Diet?' (The commercial with the woman claiming that she lost weight by eating nothing but Taco Bell.)

Interesting marketing approach, and I'm sure it will get taco bell some decent exposure. The diet is so full of disclaimers, you might as well not call it a diet. From what it seems she just substituted her normal fast food with the low fat taco bell items, and started exercising and eating better regularly. It's funny, the campaign reminds me of the Jared episode of South Park where the boys try to make money by saying Butters lost all his weight eating City Wok chinese food
