BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: The evil meme of four.



Friday, December 30, 2005  

The evil meme of four.


After giving in and blogging that "Meme of Four" thing a few days ago, and mentioning that I'd like to see an evil version of it, I found my brain returning to that concept tonight in the shower. And here we are:
Four celebrities you'd cheat on your wife/husband/gf/bf with. (Time travel is permitted.)
Angelina Jolie, Asia Carrera (ex-porn curious), Nicole Kidman (10 years ago), Elle MacPherson (15 years ago).

Four celebrities you'd like to see dead, painfully or otherwise.
Tom Cruise, Courtney Love, George Lucas, Kevin Federline.

Four movies you'd like to erase from your brain.
Matrix 3, Starship Troopers, Ice Age, Star Wars: Episode 1-3.

Four places you never, ever want to visit.
Iraq, Detroit, Atlanta, Bombay.

Four TV shows you wish you had never seen/never want to see.
Friends, All in the Family, professional wrestling, Fear Factor.

Four websites you wish would cease to exist.
I can't list four directly, but ones that spread lies and hatred like those for Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, white supremacists, terrorists, etc would be fine by me.

Of the "Seven Deadly Sins," which four do you most frequently indulge in? (Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, Greed, Sloth.)
Pride, Lust, Greed, Sloth.

Of these four, which would you give your life to save? Your mother, father, wife/husband/SO, or children. (If you do not have all four, then that just makes your choice that much easier, now doesn't it?)
No children, and none of the other three. I want to live.
Admittedly, these aren't really all that evil. Intentionally. I considered harder questions and more ethical dilemmas, but I didn't want to make it so serious and dark that no one would play along. Most mainstream bloggers aren't going to list the four cities they'd most like to see destroyed by a natural disaster, or four politicians they want assassinated, or if they'd kill their mother or their father, if they had to pick one. Plus I didn't want to make the list all political and deep thought either. Feel free to offer critiques or additions in comments.

Also, I seriously would like to see this become popular on the blogosphere, so if you like it recommend it to others. I don't even care if I get any credit, (Someone else has surely thought of something similar already anyway.) steal the questions and remove my answers if you want. I'd just like to see some bloggers dish on questions I find a lot more interesting than the favorite movies/tv shows faff on the other four meme list.
Comments:

Other possibilities go on and on, but I didn't want the list to be forever. 4 bands you'd want to see live (time travel permitted), 4 sporting events you'd like to see live (time travel again), 4 books you want never to have read, and so on.

I tried to avoid "for the good of humanity" type questions, since that skews the whole megalomaniacal point of the thing. So no, 4 books you wish had never been printed, or 4 famous people you want dead with time travel, or everyone's killing Hitler and Stalin and such, and it becomes a big serious discussion, rather than a top of the head personality chat.


 

Was Ice Age really that bad? I thought it had some funny parts. Was there something in particular about it that annoyed you?

Archie Bunker s/b "All In the Family."

I really wish I had never read The Scarlet Letter. Hawthorne is really boring.


 

I saw Ice Age once, in circumstances described in my review, and honestly, I have no idea why it popped into my head while I was writing this thing. I've certainly seen films I liked a lot less than it, though I gave it a 3.5/10.

I think mostly it was expectation and hope. I liked the teaser trailer until the thematically-related but still inexcusible Vanilla Ice song, and I liked the various Chuck Jones montages in it, but overall it was the first non-Pixar CG cartoon film I'd seen (I think) and it was just so relentlessly mediocre and drab that it depressed me, and perhaps prepared me for the coming wave of shitty CG offerings, after all the early ones were miraculously good Pixar projects.

I'm sure Shark's Tail and Madasgasgar and Chicken Little and the other recent ones have been as bad or worse, but I didn't see those, largely because Ice Age was such a PoS. Hell, I didn't see The Incredibles until it was on DVD after being scarred by Ice Age, and that film is fricking brilliant.

Also, I changed the archie bunker entry in the opening, and should really change that question, since I've seen like 1/4 of a Friends episode in my life, and never seen All in the Family at all, other than in TV clips shows. The entry should be just like the movie one, or else I should have dual entries for movies/tv shows I never want to see.


 

Of these four, which would you give your life to save? Your mother, father, wife/husband/SO, or children. (If you do not have all four, then that just makes your choice that much easier, now doesn't it?)
No children, and none of the other three. I want to live.

What's that quote, my love? Something about women feeling all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that their man would take a bullet for them? (laughing)
