    danik, Nicole Kidman, what a cutie! although I think she just recently, or maybe not too recently, had some breast augmentation? not a big fan of that I think.

    and oh I love pineapple juice.

    Hmmm... could do with no snow and no alcohol and no typewriter... neither. Maybe a seashore inn with room service and excellent wi-fi.

    Had to google Frances Mc Dormand... prolly the most accomplished actress I've barely run across (Madagascar 3). I know Mia Farrow mostly from her scandals with Woody Allen, and possibly from Peter Pan. Based on a quick wikipedia research I'd choose Frances Mc Dormand for her singing.

    Marshmallows

    Movie: Ghost Busters or Ghost ?

    It depends on the quality of the writing but I tend to prefer plot driven fiction.
    Same question?

    Character driven, but some form of plot. Themes is the most important thing- and this has changed through time.

    Legacy or presence of mind?

    Frances Mc Dormand is a great favorite with me, I had to include her. But some of the movies where she played a leading roll, like "Fargo" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" were very violent.

    Interesting answer, Tony, but I didn't understand your question: what association do you make between "legacy " and "presence of mind "?

    Does one value their legacy (achievements, agency, future generations, accomplishments) or place a higher value on their present feeling of content, discontent?

    (To be certain, legacy is very important to many people... but outside of the business world.. it's not admitted as much)

    Godfather 1 or Godfather 2 as a preference (even if you don't like the movie etc)
