Just for fun: TPAM - TPBM

TPAM:

All for them! Provided they are automatic. People getting behind the steering wheel and driving them is just asking for disaster.

TPBM:

Is the glass half empty or half full? (Sorry, best I got tonight!)
 
TPAM:

Depends on whether I'm filling it or drinking it.

TPBM:

Do you care for the NHL and if yes, what is your favorite team?
 
TPAM:

I'm Canadian. So FUCK YAH! Montreal Canadians obviously haha. Though I do believe they are over payed cry babies. (all players not just the habs)

TPBM:

What was your single most romantic moment (or special if you wish) in your life thus far? (or one you may have seen or read about)
 
My fake wedding, which was actually... just about a year ago today.

The fake wedding was before the real wedding(s) and was just a camping trip, a bottle of wine, a guitar... the stars. Me and wifey exchanged our rings (which we weren't supposed to wear yet) and some promise stuff before we got too drunk to even make up ridiculous constellations any more. "Do you see the house?" "What house?" "It's right next to robo-whale" "Oh I see it!!"
 
TPAM: Some mountain in Whistler (Canada)

TPBM: What was the first album you heard that really got you into music?
 
TPAM:

What really got me into music is picking the guitar. Before that I was the typical mainstream punk/pop fan.

Learning that instrument got me into old rock, good metal, progressive bands, classical music... and lately fusion/jazz.

But I guess the album that opened my mind the most was Divine Wings of Tragedy, as was recommended by a friend back in 2005 (approximately 2 years after starting the guitar).

TPBM:

What is your worst habit?
 
TPAM: Sniper Elite... I can't get enough from that video game! And yes, it's old, but glorious!!!

TPBM: Worst album you've heard so far? (Don't mention St. Anger please, that would be sooo easy :D)
 
TPAM:

This was actually harder than I thought. I think I have to go with Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage. As childish as this sounds, I stopped playing guitar altogether in high school because of them...

TPBM:

What's the best "unknown" movie you have ever seen? For example, something like Tarkovsky's Solaris and Stalker etc.
 
TPAM: ~Older~ Bay Of Angels(1963) directed by Jacques Demy
French film about two lovers who become addicted at gambling which creates a whirlwind. to say the least.

~Newer~ Ripley's Game(2002) directed by Lilliana Cavani
John Malkovich stars as sociopath Tom Ripley and creates the best representation of that character to date. Beautifully shot with amazing writing and performances. My favorite of the past decade.


TPBM: What's your favorite movie about time travel?
 
TPAM: Emmm... Remember "Goosebumps"? Well, one of those. I think it was about a cursed camera or something like that.

TPBM: Do you play any instruments?
 
TPAM:

I mainly play the guitar, both electric and acoustic (mainly Andy Mckee style stuff on the acoustic though). I'm also quite at ease on a bass guitar, although I don't own one.

TPBM:

Have you ever listened to Pinnella's solo album and/or Russell's?
 
TPAM:

Unfortunately, I haven't heard either. Maybe at some point in the future I'll get around to buying them.

TPBM:

(Probably only applicable to modern fantasy fans...)

China Miéville or Jeff Vandermeer?
 
Lived? There was some brutal summers when I was growing up in CA, but it never bothered so much as it was a dry heat. I remember moving across country from CA to DE and stopping in TX for a few hours in the middle of July and honestly thinking I was going to die...heat index must've been 110-115.

TPBM- Bagel Bites or Pizza Rolls? There is a right answer and wrong answer.
