[Lightning Strykez!]

Guard, I've known you for so long now. And likely you can still recall the many battles we all fought during the Hype War Years of 2004-2006 (around the time that Superman Returns, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and the X-Men films were being made).

QUESTION: Can you recall 3 hot fanboy issues that you thought were absolutely the lamest whinefests?

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

[Ahura Mazda]

Are you working or are you a student?

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

How do you plan to get there?

Is liberty an idealistic illusion or an achievable reality?

 

[The Guard]

What is your favorite Halloween movie?

Hocus Pocus.

Who is your favorite horror icon?

I'm currently playing a character that gets compared to Boris Karloff, so...Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter. I've actually never seen most of the major, "classic" horror movies

What is your favorite kind of candy?

Regular Hershey's chocolate.

Candy Apple or Caramel Apple?

What's the difference?

Pumpkin pie with or without cool whip?

You can't have pie without Cool Whip.

I make homemade whipped cream at family events, though, we don't buy it. I detest pumpkin pie. I take a piece to be police, scoop off the whipped cream and eat it plain, and leave the pie there.

Do you enjoy corn mazes and haunted attractions?

Not really. I haven't been to either in over a decade, and I recall being underwhelmed the last time I was at one.

to what lengths could you dissect and debate this question?

That depends on the context of "what", "lengths", "you", "dissect", and "debate", as well as "to, "could", "and", and "this".

I can debate anything pretty much endlessly.

Are you dressing up in costume this year? If so, what? If not, why?

Probably not. No time, and no energy. I'm wearing a costume for a show, though. I play the villain, and sort of look like a Dick Tracy baddie, with a green suit, black turtleneck, and scarred face and fedora.

Do you believe in aliens?

Yes.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Yes.

What was the first comic you read?

Those little He-Man comics that used to come with the figures. In terms of real comics, though...THE COMPLETE FRANK MILLER BATMAN was my first real exposure at age 9, so probably BATMAN: YEAR ONE. My grandfather got it for me since I was a fan of the 60's TV show, and wrote "Pow! Whappp!" inside the front cover. I don't think he looked at the content at all.

Who's your favorite novel writer?

I don't read much, if at all, anymore. I used to love some of Michael Crichton's work. Stephen King, when he's on, is phenomenal. Really enjoy Alex Haley. In terms of classics, definitely Dickens, Dostievsky, perhaps Victor Hugo. I'm pretty mainstream in my tastes, and I find many writers and their work to be somewhat interchangable.

three threads you would smite from the boards?

I'll get back to you on that.

why did you skip the questions in the first post?

I did? Which one?

what's your fave rent song?

"I'll Cover You"

fave character (besides collins)?

Probably Roger.

least fave?

Benny. Just not much to work with in terms of character, even in the stage show, though I love his musical moments.

Guard, I've known you for so long now. And likely you can still recall the many battles we all fought during the Hype War Years of 2004-2006 (around the time that Superman Returns, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and the X-Men films were being made).

Yup.

QUESTION: Can you recall 3 hot fanboy issues that you thought were absolutely the lamest whinefests?

I still think people *****ing about the rubber armor in the Batfilms and the X-Men's movie suits is absurd.

The Hulk Dog controversy. An issue that was blown wayyy out of proportion, and actually ended up being pretty cool, and a good action sequence.

if you could preform any move from street fighter (hadoken, flash kick etc,) what would it be?

I believe it's called "Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku". That weird spinning kick Ken and Ryu did.

Are you working or are you a student?

Working for an insurance company. Student of life, theatre, and film.

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

31.

How do you plan to get there?

Not die.

Is liberty an idealistic illusion or an achievable reality?

Depends on the context. Liberty has a lot of gray areas.

[The Guard]

What is your greatest regret?

Being so insecure and afraid to take risks in junior high and high school, especially with girls. I found out a few years later that had I just not been such a wuss, I would have essentially had my pick of the women I had crushes on. That, and I didn't even know I could sing and act until I was 21, because I just figured I wouldn't be as good as the people who did theatre at the time. That's a lesson kids. Write it down.

What is your greatest achievement?

Changing my greatest regret. I'm a wildly different person, even since age 21 or so. People hardly recognize me anymore.

If you could live in any fictional universe, what would it be, and why?

The Beatles YELLOW SUBMARINE world. Sort of self explanatory.

If you could be present for any historical event, what? Why?

The Big Bang. Just to experience it.

Name three people, living or dead, you would want to have dinner with?

What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

What is your favorite TV show?

MAD MEN

What is your best childhood memory?

It's kind of silly, but when I was 9 or 10 I was trying to get a Quick Change Bruce Wayne action figure. This was the BATMAN RETURNS era, and stores were sold out of damn near anything good, and weren't going to be getting any more. I called almost every store in the county we lived in, and finally found one that had one. Called my father at work and asked if he could take me out there to get it after he got off work...and he said yes. Called the store back just before my father got home, and they told me someone had bought it. He got home and I was all upset, and he goes "I thought you wanted it", and tosses me the bag with the figure inside. He worked like an hour and a half away, and had taken off work immediately to go get the thing. It was just amazing to me as a kid.

An embarrassing moment?

I got stuck in the broiler at Burger King once. The "chain" grabbed my belt loop as I was inching past with dishes and started pulling me in. Rather than just freeing me, my manager brought all the customers from the dining room to point and laugh at me.

Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?

I would never max out my credit card.

What is the last cd/mp3 you acquired?

Jekyll and Hyde. After the first audition, the director and music director asked me to rent it, so I went out and bought it. I don't buy much.
