I blame
Rol and
Chev, although the original is
here.
1) Conan The Barbarian Soundtrack:
I love
Conan the Barbarian. Yes, it's not true to the original stories, but it's still an enjoyable film full of great imagery, an underrated performance from Ahnuld, and, yes, a wonderful bombastic soundtrack.
2) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep:
It's okay, but it's not one of PKD's best, and I prefer the film. That said, I'm not a huge fan of the film, so I probably lose any points I gain from owning the book.
3) The Twilight Zone Collection:
Oh dear. I don't think I've seen a single episode of
The Twilight Zone all the way through, although I think I saw the film and I've seen plenty of
The Outer Limits. It's one of those things that everyone knows -- doo de doo de doo, "There's something on the wing!" and so on -- but it's never been on a TV channel I watch, so my only contact with it is second hand, like the
Johnny Bravo episode with the corn field.
4) The Original Star Wars Trilogy – WITHOUT ANY ADDED CRAP:
Return of the Jedi was once my favourite of the series, and I quite liked the 1997 editions, but the only film I own now is
Star Wars itself, even if it's the slightly crippled original Lucas hid away on the second disc of the re-releases a few years ago. So that's a third of a point, I think.
5) A Profound Hatred for Star Trek Enterprise:
Nope. It had some very wobbly moments -- like the final episode -- but also some very good ones -- like the penultimate episode -- and wasn't anywhere near as bad as its reputation suggests. The other series were often as bad, and
Voyager was often worse.
6) The Lord of The Rings Extended Edition, The Soundtracks and all of the books;
I have the books, of course. I have the first soundtrack and a couple of tracks from the other two. Of the films, I only have the first, and in its non-extended version, as I realised I didn't really like the longer versions of the other two and have never got around to buying the first one. So that's five-ninths of a point?
7) A Profound Sadness for the Way Battlestar Galactica Ended:
I don't know if "profound sadness" is the right way to describe my reaction to that insipid ballcocks. The first couple of series were so good and they threw it all away through a lack of discipline.
8 ) A Passionately Favorite Version of the REAL Doctor Who:
He's not called "Doctor Who". Tsk. Anyway, the best Doctor is always the current one and your favourite is always the one whom you grew up watching. That's probably too obtuse an answer to get a point.
9) A Fear That Will Smith Will Someday Star in The Movie Adaptation of Your Favorite Book:
Nope, Tom Cruise already did it.
10) Toys from Your Childhood That You Refuse To Part With:
I've already parted with them, although not from choice in most cases.
11) The Belief that the Word Midichlorian Was Just from a Nightmare and NOT a real Star Wars Movie:
Don't be silly. I know it wasn't a nightmare. That would be delusional. There was only one
Matrix film however.
12) The Original Tron Movie:
Tron was always rubbish. It had very clever special effects -- the achievement of which was undermined by the pointless sequel -- but that's it. Sorry.
13) An affection for the TV show Firefly:
Oh... it's not as good as its odd grip over science fiction fandom suggests, but it was okay and might have been brilliant a series or two down the line. "Affection" is probably strong enough, so yeah.
14) A Hatred for Chris O’Donnell:
Nope. He didn't kill the Batman movies, Joel Schumacher did. I'd still watch
Batman and Robin over
Batman Begins though.
15) You Know Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics:
Like
The Twilight Zone, I know these through other sources than the originals. I don't think I've read any Asimov aside from a couple of short stories at university as part of my degree.
16) You think Cheetara is HOT!
Er. No.
17) You Believe Aliens are our REAL Gods:
No. Except for Cthulhu, obviously.
18) You Have a Favorite Animated Cult Sci-Fi Movie:
Does
Transformers: The Movie count? If not,
Wizards must.
19) You Blame Hot Rod for Optimus Prime’s Death:
I'd like to be sensible and grown up and say it was Hasbro's fault, but yes, I do blame Hot Rod.
20) You DESPISE Michael Bay for Masturbating on your Childhood.
I don't despise Michael Bay. I blame Shia LaBeouf more, but I do wish Bay would leave the things I like alone.
So going back over that lot, I make my score six and eight ninths, or maybe seven and eight ninths depending on whether I can count the
Doctor Who answer. I am apparently not as nerdy as I thought.
