[Marx]

Do you believe that 'everything happens for a reason'...or 'you make your own luck'?

 

[Hobgoblin]

Which 'Back to the Future' movie is your favorite?[/b]
Either the original or part three. I didnt care for part 2.

Which 'Indiana Jones' movie is your favorite?
The Last Crusade. Indy meets Hitler and discovers the Holy Grail. More importantly, he has Sean Connery for his father.

Which 'Batman' movie is your favorite?

Either The Dark Knight or Batman Returns. Batman should be dark and these two films deliver that darkness.

Which 'Superman' movie is your favorite?
The original. Its truely an epic.

Which 'Star Wars' movie is your favorite?

Revenge of the Sith. So much pwnage. But it needed to be darker.
Which 'Lord of the Rings' movie is your favorite?
To be honest, I didnt care for LOTR all that much.

Which 'Star Trek' movie is your favorite?
Ditto Star Trek. The reboot was ok.

Which 'Bond' film is your favorite?
GoldenEye. My first Bond film. Pierce Brosnan will always be my favorite Bond.

Which 'Terminator' movie is your favorite?
The original. T2 was too slick for me, too over done. I like the feeling of constant dread in T1. T3 doesnt deserve the hate but isnt as good. TS I liked. I need to see it again.

 

[Hobgoblin]

What is your most treasured Spidey item that you own?[/b]
The World Trade Center teaser poster for SM1. I bought it Sept 11, after hearing that they would be recalled.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you hate your job?
About a 6. Its not brain surgery and no one dies if thier meat isnt sliced exactly right but I hate the petty drama. People over react over the dumbest things. Employees and customers alike.

What is your favorite vacation spot?
Europe. I loved Germany and Holland three years ago and I'm looking forward to the Mediterranean cruise that my dad, brother and I will take next month.

What would you say is your best personality trait?
Perserverence. Some would say stubborness.

How much drink does it take for you to get drunk?
Quite a bit more after college. I havent gotten drunk in a good long while.

What is your favorite time of the year?
Spring or fall. I like the sense of newness in spring. My birthday is in the fall as is my favorite holiday: Halloween.

In the Spider-Man reboot, who would like to see cast as Norman Osborn?


I've always wanted Michael Ironside to play Osborn. Jeremy Irons would make a great Hobgoblin. It'll never happen, as they seem to be headed in a "young cast" direction.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Do you believe that 'everything happens for a reason'...or 'you make your own luck'?

A little of both. Some things in life are out of our control. Some things can be spooky in how they work out. But sitting around and hoping for something to happen is counter productive.

I really enjoyed 'Revenge of the Sith'. I would like for it to have been darker as well. The ending fight sequences were epic though!

As for 'Lord of the Rings', have you read the books?

My favorite part was the black suited Vader taking his first breaths as Padame was dying. That was brilliant. Thats the sort of subtle intelligence that I wish were more common in movies.

I never read Lord of the Rings. My aunt got my the books years ago but I think I donated them. Fantasy books are something I've grown out of.

I agree, that was brilliant. My only real complaints about ROTS were that I wish we could have seen more of the battle on Kashyyk with the Wookies and General Grievous being more of a monster. I never liked the constant hacking and thought that he could have been done much better.

I do recommend them. Fantasy or not, it's a great series.

I probably need to re-watch TPM and AOTC but I didnt care for Vader's sudden change to evil. Padamew seemed to be his life and I would think that after she died, he would have commited suicide. He needed to have more motivation. A darker intent that he tried to cover up and that the Jedi tried to manage would have been better. I have no problem with him being a "good guy gone bad" but a sharper edge in the earlier movies would have moade his turning to the Dark Side more convincing.

 

[Marx]

I can definitey see your point Hob.

What is the weirdest dream you've ever had?

Have you ever had a recurring dream? If so, what was it?

Have you ever studied oneirology? (The study of dreams.)

I've had lots of odd dreams. A few times I've dreamt of rock climbing, only to get knocked off the cliff when Godzilla walks by and scrapes the mountain. I've had nightmares where I've woken up screaming. Did that in college once, and once on a road trip. I havent studied dreams very much. I used to read up on Western and Chinese astrology. I'm a Libran Metal Monkey. Where is Honey Vibe when you need her?

That's very interesting.

Have you studied mythology?

 

[Hobgoblin]

That's very interesting.

Have you studied mythology?

Not in any great depth. I signed up for a myth class in college but its schedule conflicted with another, frankly more important class, so I had to cancel it.

I'm pretty tired of the tire commercial. No pun intended. The clown one was awesome. t:

Do you believe that bigfoot exists?
I dont know. Some "evidence" seems convincing but I cant say yes or no.

Do you believe that aliens exist?
Somewhere in space? Yes. Have they visited earth? Harder to say.

Do you believe in ghosts?
I like to think that we live on after death in some way, so yes.
Do you believe in the Loch Ness monster?
No. How could pleisosaurs survive for 65 million years? They would have died of inbreeding millions on years ago. I think Nessie is a clever ruse to bring tourists to Scotland.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Do you have any plans for St. Patrick's Day? If so, what?

My dad, brother and I are having corned beef and cabbage for dinner and then I go to work. Thats my Saint Patty's.

What tv sitcom do you feel is underrated?

What tv sitcom do you feel is overrated?

If you could bring back one sitcom for a 'reunion special'...what would it be?

 

[Team Andino]

Whats one moment in your life that when it happen you knew would change your life forever??

Whats one goal in life that realistically you feel may never happen?

Has there ever been a time that you were embarrassed to be a comic book fan??

I dont get to watch a lot of TV any more. I have no idea what sitcoms are even on. I always thought that the CSI shows were dull as dirt. I would love a Married with Children reunion.

What 'fad' are you ashamed to admit you took part in?

1. So many. Probably the death of my mother, because I was close to her and it was so sudden.
2. I may never write a novel that speaks for my generation. If I could be the guy that gives the Boomerang generation a voice, I'd be very happy.
3. lol. I had a crush on a girl in my art history class in college and I think it was somewhat mutual. I was checking out the Hype at a computer in the cafeteria when she walked by and said Hi. I tried to discretely log off the computer to keep her from seeing the site. Naturally, the computer froze.

 

[Hobgoblin]

What 'fad' are you ashamed to admit you took part in?

I cant sat I've been into many fads. I do remember having a pair of Umbro pants as a kid. I did have a Looney Tunes/Michael Jordan t-shirt as a teen.

 

[Marx]

Are you close with your family?

Do you have any siblings?

How do your political views compare to those of your family?
