Mixed Milk and Seven Up.
Same Question!
Talisker Single Malt Scotch whiskey, the only whiskey produced on the Isle of Skye just off the western Highlands. Then, after letting it tantalize my tastebuds and warm my belly, I had Shredded Wheat for lunch!
And to answer the question before this one, my favorite tree is an old, gnarled Cottonwood tree with several low branches as big as tree trunks of most normal Cottonwood trees and an overall size of maybe 130 feet diameter by 80 feet tall. This old grizzly thing must be several hundred years old if it is a day. To make it completely my favorite tree though, it stands all alone so that it forms a solitary image on the skyline. I have photographed it in different kinds of light and from different angles, trying to capture its essence. I always get the feeling from it that it possesses a soul of its own and that it is cognizant of my presence and my awe.
To the person below me: Have you ever felt the presence of "something" or "someone" when no one was around?
Definately. Weirds me out every time even though I always say it's not going to next time.

Yes, I often feel God's presence as I'm praying or having a deeply hard time. He is so faithful and comforting!
Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster?
No I don't, I'm sure there are a lot of monsters in Scotland, but Nessy is not one of them, besides, I think most of them can be found in pubs nowadays, enjoying a good scotch wisky.
Have you ever been stuck in time?
We all are at the moment, Aimus. We're stuck between Yesterday and Tomorrow! :rolleyes:
Truthfully speaking, have you ever taken drugs?
I have not, and I do not plan to.

probably the "finish-sweedish" book "Populær musik for Vitula" in english Popular music for Vitula, the four guys playing the main characters were so fabulous! and the fact that they were completely unknown was beautiful, the fact that i saw it in a fairly alternative cinema, with one show room only, and where there's about 30 seats (the two back rows of which were donated from an airoplane (:thumbs_up )) made it even better!
The one i've disliked the most.... i'm sure there's something...hmm, i guess it doesn't count, but there's a great sweedish author, Jan Guillou, who wrote a great series in which the main character (This is in sweeden in the 1200's) get's sent to war for 20 years as a christian punishment. there he joins the templars, and the court politics, meets saladin, whom he unknowingly saves, and whom later spares him, (on the last day of his punishment!) and so forth...i know it sounds mushy, but i absolutely guarantee, (my word as a bookseller) this is a highly recomendable series! AAANYway, when the movie "kingdom of heaven" came out, with the .......... bloom in the main character, i was practically offended. horrible, horrible and implausible filmatisation! And i presume my reaction has something to do with the fact that these books treated the same material in a deep thoughfull manner, making them convincing exciting and they're even well written.
what can i say... the movie should be banned, people should read the books!
phew, long rant...
Same question...:blush:
I liked all the LOTR movies even though Jackson left lots of good stuff out of it and made some changes that I didn't agree with (like that scene where Frodo goes over the cliff with Gollom and hangs on the side and Sam pulls him up and says "Don't let go" --- it reminded me of that whole Titanic thing with Jack and Rose --- but I guess he had to make certain changes to the story for the big screen).
The worst movie from a book was Queen of the Damned. That was my favorite Vampire Chronicles book but the movie was just bad.

Worst: The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, Romeo And Juliet (1996 version; I loved the 1968 version), The Picture Of Dorian Gray, and many, many others.
To the person below me: even in a subject you know much about, do you enjoy seeming more a teacher or student?
