Some films by Alfred Hitchcock, such as North by Northwest and To Catch a Thief. Even so, though, nothing can beat those classics, IMHO.

Black & White, or grainy color, makes no difference to me.

Same question.

It looks phony, somehow.

Do you have the Holden Caulfield belief that all adults are phony?

I'd need to read Catcher again. I don't remember the sentiment, but it sounds reasonably accurate. Picasso said, "All children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up". So true. We lose our authenticity as we age.

Do you like scrambled eggs?

I like my eggs in any way, whether scrambled, or sunny-side up.

Same question.

Which fictional world would you like to live in?

I would like to live at Thrushcross Grange, as the true Isabella Linton did.

Same question

I've read and watched too many things that it's hard to answer. Maybe in a Joanne Harris novel like Chocolat.

Have you ever written fiction?

I've written a lot of poetry and a lot of personal narratives. I wrote some fiction in school, but nothing significant. I'm a good writer but I lack the confidence to design an entire novel. (I wish someone would tell me what to write, and I could write it and publish pseudonymously).

Same question.

Not really.


Ever watched films that tend to have ambiguous endings?

One of my favourite novels Villette has an ambiguous ending. I'd have to think about movies. I don't watch a lot of movies, but I'm sure there have been some which ended as such.

Same question.

I've seen a couple of films with unexplained endings


Do you enjoy books that are over 1000 pages long?

As long as the book is really interesting, then yes.

Same question.

I don't judge a book by its length, but yes I've read several that are 1000+ pages.

My favourites are Thackeray's Vanity Fair (1847) and Eliot's Middlemarch (1871).

Same q

I've read books as short as 300pages to over 5000 pages.


Do you like to learn about different things,places,people?

I sincerely wish Volume 1 of Wuthering Heights was longer :(

I like to learn about my ancestry / genealogy, or social history. I don't care about politics one iota except for its impact on people and places.

Same q

I enjoy reading about ancient peoples,places, and technologies





Do you find life is a tad-bit more difficult these days?
