I wish they would think like that more often - so often there are roles that just automatically go to men (ie the main roles) that could just as easily have gone to women...just because women are cast in and take part in roles that have some particular gendered aspect tthem doesn't mean there is fundamentally something different about acting and "actressing". I don't think architecting or acting are merely professions but I think maybe a singer/singess analogy would fit better...?

Fav Band: My favourite band that's still around is probably The Divine Comedy, but the band that I've been most obsessed with my whole life is, regrettably, The Beatles. They marked my entry into music- nothing before them, be it my dad's Ry Cooder and Caetano Veloso or my friend's Snap! and Michael Jackson, made the slightest impression on me.
Fav Movie: I still stand by my opinion that Gremlins 2:The New Batch is the greatest piece of art ever released, because it's basically just funny little green monsters running around doing everything everyone else secretly wants to do, but doesn't because we don't wanna be shunned by society and because, y'know, we know it'd hurt.
Fav TV Show: Buffy The Vampire Slayer reprezent, of course, and usual suspects like South Park, Red Dwarf, Monty Python's Flying Circus, too. And I'm a big fan of those old sci-fi shows- The Outer Limits is my fave.
Fav Book: Oooer, toughie. Random selection of favourites: The Hitch Hyker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams, The Longest Journey by E.M. Forster, Another Country by James Baldwin, The Heart Of Rock & Soul by Dave Marsh, The Hobbit by Tolkien and On The Road by Jack Kerouac.
Fav Actor: Cinema is my least favourite type of art, I really dunno what to answer here. I mean, of course Bogart rules, but that's quite a dull thing to say innit?
Fav Actress: Erhm, I like Janeane whatshername.
Fav Food: Enchiladas!
Fav Sport: I enjoy skiing and swimming (as relaxation, not competition); mostly I hate sports cos I've got a leg problem and also I'm a wimp.
Fav Athlete: Now you're just kidding me, aren't ya?
Drink of Choice: Used to be addicted to Coca-Cola; now I just stumble through the wilderness and drink whatever's there. If you mean alcoholic beverages, a Smirnoff Ice is always nice.
Drug of Choice (if that's your thing): I smoke the occasional joint, that's about it.
Smoker? : Apart from the stuff referred to above, no.
Occupation : Student.
Do you work out? : No, I work it.
On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your looks? : Oh, I'd say 7 bordering on 8, according to my own taste. According to "conventional" tastes, I suppose I might be around 4ish.
On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your personality? : I don't think I can answer that. I reckogn I'm Cool Enuff- I can be arrogant and insecure and show-offy, and I can also be excessively introverted and shun human company altogether (I'm a terrible introextrovert), but I'm occasionaly amusing, mostly compassionate and at any rate I'm alot cooler than any of you bitches will ever be.

Add anything you want people to know: I don't have a lot of favorites, my tastes are varied and I often flip-flop on opinions because I tend to see things from many angles (just not all at the same time). I can argue a point (not to be argumentative) for something I don't believe in, just to get "all the ducks in a row" maybe to understand a situation better, but I don't spend a lot of time actually arguing "for" or "against" many things because I'm not really for or against much, therefore any arguing is usually in a purely philosophical sense. I'm not a passionate defender of causes or art and I'm not a compassionate conservative. The world is strange and I'm often confused.

(My favourite musical artists at the moment are Beethoven and Django Reinhardt though I'd probably still rate LZ as greatest band. Martial arts is by default my favourite sport but I missed today's class because I'm sick and Tuesday's to hang out with a girl I like. Wait, does non-competitive cycling count as a sport? That might win then. I guess Clone High is my favourite TV show. I'm a grad student now. Other than that my answers probably still stand.)

Fav Band: Right now I'm really excited about MP3 only labels. Specifically, labels that specialize in minimal abstract electronics (I guess "microsound" is the term of choice?). I recommend http://fals.ch, a Mego sublabel that has an incredible mindfuck of a layout. It took me three visits to figure out where the music was. Wheee. Also, http://www.tu-m.com/tump3.htm has tons of great music from people like Greg Davis, Keith Whitman, Kim Cascone, Si-Cut.Db... And http://www.notype.com is one I've just started looking into. Also, I've been listening to the Kinks, the Other People Place / Drexciya, T. Rex...
Fav Movie: I really like Easter Parade. Also, I love Casino Royale for being style over substance, for pissing off James Bond fanboys (no offense, I was bred to be one), and for having a killer soundtrack. Monkey Business and Duck Soup are also great.
Fav TV Show: Futurama was really funny. Though it's cancelled now, right?
Fav Book: I mention Balzac whenever this question comes up, but I should also namedrop the book that turned me on to Balzac--S/Z. What a joyful, exciting book. I really liked Anna Karenina. It drags towards the middle, but the last chapter redeems the whole book. And, Life: A User's Manual, by Georges Perec. I hate authors who beat over the head with their post-modern play: If On A Winters Night A Traveller, and Julio Cortazar's Hopscotch bothered me for their heavy-handed cleverness. Perec, at least in this book, keeps it in check.
Fav Actor/Actress: No answer.
Fav Food: I like a good stir-fry with bok choy. Thai, Indian. And cheese sandwiches.
Fav Sport/Athlete: No answers.
Drink of Choice: Stout in winter, wheat beer in summer, Scotch anytime.
Drug of Choice (if that's your thing): Nope.
Smoker? :Nope.

I'm a crap hockey player, but I've got a good forehand wrist shot. Can't skate, can't defend, no slap shot. But a few years ago I led a (bad) league in North Carolina in scoring because we had a defenceman named Woody from Manitoba who kept the puck in while I just stood in the slot until the puck came near me... :)

Name: Deanna/DeeAge: 24 yrs, 2 mos, 25(ish?) daysHeight: 5'8" tallFav Band: I am almost unhealthily obsessed with a band who formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, as a "Sex Pistols meets Chic" group. But I do listen to other things. I've just gotten over a huge Kajagoogoo phase, and I'm excited by what I've heard of The Stills and Ascii Disko. I also love Japan, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Ultravox, Visage, Human League, Heaven 17, Soviet, Ladytron, Roxy Music, Fischerspooner, Goldfrapp's Black Cherry, and almost anything else New Romantic/New Wave, electro, and swoony glam rock.Fav Movie: Of all time? Still Pump Up The Volume. (It captured my heart as a teen -- what can I say?) Of the moment? Probably House of Sand and Fog, though Monster was very, very, very good.Fav TV Show: Definitely "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". I'm hoping this will be the first "favorite TV show" of mine that will actually stick around long enough for me to be fanatical about it. (I'm miffed that "Keen Eddie" didn't stick around, BTW -- I'm just starting to get into it now.)Fav Book: I'm not a really big fan of books because of the sheer number I had to read in HS/college (I'm more of a newspapers and magazines kind of person), but I'm really into The Andy Warhol Diaries right now.Fav Actor: I'm really fond of Sir Ben Kingsley right now.Fav Actress: Dame Judi Dench now and forever.Fav Food: Chinese and Japanese food; patty melts with onion rings; cereal; Wheat Thins (*winks*); almost all kinds of cookiesFav Sport: (spectator) basketball; (participant) tennisFav Athlete: Martina Navratilova and David Robinson, now and forever.Drink of Choice: Diet Coke with Lime, Diet Cherry Coke, Diet Coke, iced coffee, hot coffee -- caffeinated heaven, essentially.Drug of Choice (if that's your thing): caffeine (ha), Lo-Ovral (for regulation purposes)Smoker? : Not in forever and a day, practically.Occupation : Payroll clerk and "frugal because I have to be" student.Do you work out? : Not in like ten years. I need to start up again.On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your looks? : 3 on a good day and -5 on a bad day.On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your personality? : 9 on a good day and 1 on a bad day.Add anything you want people to know: You know how I have that almost unhealthy obsession thing going on? Well, it's permeated my being so much that I can bring up the band on almost any discussion. For example -- talking about the Middle East? "Hey, did you guys know that Simon once worked in a kibbutz in Israel? And you know about their song 'Tel Aviv', right? Hey, wait a second, where are you guys going? I'll stop it, I swear! Just 'hey mister, say something, say the word!' Ok, that's it! I'll be good from here on out! I promise you!"

Ha ha ha... well, since I'm actually catching "Keen Eddie" eps on Bravo, I'm well aware of this. I'm referring to the fact that it's no longer going as a series. I'd have loved to have seen several seasons of this.
Wow, the Diaries in Spanish?! Found in MEXICO?! The mind boggles. But yes, I will keep you updated. So far, it's fantastic for someone such as myself, but then again I really care about little sad bits of info such as how much someone paid for something.
(FYI, I was once on Celexa, and then I took myself off it. Whee.)

What I meant was, I've heard "lolita" used to describe young girls in many contexts, none of them true to the book's intention. The book's intention, as I read it, was that she was a young girl who aspired to dirtiness but had no idea what it meant. This certainly makes no less a monster of Humbert, who is IMO one of the greatest villians of literature, but it makes Lolita no more "innocent." So you have the dirty little girl and the exploitative old man. To cast Lol as a complete innocent is not.. right. Not getting it. Not getting the give and take that makes the book so interesting. Of course Humbert is an awful man, but throwing the word "lolita" around as if it has an unsubtle definition hurts the work of art that Lolita is. It doesn't get it.
Anyway.
Sam, has anyone already expressed the degree to which we're all happy you're back? I don't want to bandwagon or anything, but it's really nice to see you.

albeit as a naiive and playing-with-fire type
Makes all the difference, don't it? If you didn't read that book and think that Humbert was an awful man, however charming, there's something wrong with you, and I'm sure Nabokov would agree.

This is great, and truer for me than I was willing to admit before. Thanks, bulbs, for breaking the barrier.

Bowie, PWEI, Sister Machine Gun, Eminem, Alizee, the Eels, the Faint, Radio Iodine, Belle & Sebastian, Van Morrison, Neil Young. I like Christina better than Britney, the Beatles better than the Rolling Stones, and Elvis better than either.
The best movies I've seen this year were Annie Hall, Zoolander, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Bad News Bears, the Empire Strikes Back, and You Got Served.
Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, and Dead Like Me just ended their seasons, so the only show really grabbing me right now is Lost. I've been downloading episodes of Fastlane since it looks like the DVD set for that will probably not come out until just after He's The Mayor does.
The best books I've read this year were Bridge of Birds, It Must've Been Something I Ate, The Whole Beast, The Box Man, Ball Four, Things Fall Apart, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, and the conclusion of the Dark Tower series.
I don't think I have any favorite actors or actresses.

(you can call me Dee, though)Age: 24 -- to turn 25 late next month (where has the time flown?)Height: 5'8" (short for this forum, it seems)Fav Band: C'mon, do I have to answer this? ;) Really, though, Duran Duran, first and foremost. Other loves -- Japan, Roxy Music, Human League, Spandau Ballet, Nirvana, The Breeders, Gang of Four, Comsat Angels, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Tears for Fears, and Heaven 17.Fav Movie: Forever and always -- Pump Up The Volume. I think very highly of most documentaries, too, save for the highly political ones which could possibly end up being sneakily propagandistic.Fav TV Show: "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"!! I also love VH1C's "The Alternative", the Food Network's "Unwrapped" and anything with Alton Brown in it, and I will always love "Northern Exposure". Am currently getting into -- "Desperate Housewives" and "Buffy" (hey, I missed that boat the first time around!).Fav Book: Currently, Lorrie Moore's Birds of America and anything to do with Lenore/Roman Dirge.Fav Actor: You're not going to believe this, but I think I could say Susan Sarandon in this category. Uh... Russell Crowe? Even though he's rumored to be an asshole off-camera? Um, yeah, that's it.Fav Food: Wheat Thins, seven-layer dip, Chinese and Japanese food (lovelovelove rice noodles, stir-fry, sushi, and Japanese rice crackers), chicken, cookies, broccoli, cheesecake, carrots, most cold cereals, and Italian food (from chicken cacciatore to fetuccine alfredo).Fav Sport: Spectator-wise -- basketball.

Maybe a 2 -- and that's pushing it.On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your personality?: If I'm passionately angry -- a zero. If I'm thinking rationally -- an eight, maybe.Add anything you want people to know: I am a huge fan of riding rollercoasters. I haven't had a tumor-like flareup on my back in almost three years, which is cool. I'm alive, which is also cool. I used to be a huge '80s fanatic, when I was a stupid little teenybopper. I'm still insanely jealous of anyone who was a teenager in the early - mid '80s. And I live in a city filled with the most narrow-minded and macho "guys" ever to exist.

Sundar -- I suppose one has to look at that show in perspective, i.e. compare it to all the other programs that were out there during that time period. Perhaps at that point and time, it was the most provocative program around, and perhaps with the passing of time and the creation of numerous other programs, it has lost that allure. Which means that if you still love that program, hey, it's still quite all right.
(At least it's not as embarrassing as having once enjoyed DeBarge's "Rhythm of the Night" is. Um, not that I ever did that, no, no way.)
