You're on a desert island...

[Karin]

Okay, folks.

You're on a desert island. For some reason, you have a television, DVD player, and stereo. (Let's say you also have monkey butlers to assure that you always have some chewy, chewy cocoa beans to subsist on). You can bring your favorite ONE of each:

1 movie
1 Album (music - not scrapbook!)
1 book


Which movie, album, and book do you bring?

Karin

P.S. You also have Scrapbook MAX. Let's not be cruel...

[Corey]

I'd burn the TV. For an album I'd probably take The Clash "Sandanista" or a Bob Marley "best of". For a book I'd take a gigantic textbook on music or art, the largest one I could find.

What about your picks Karin?

[Karin]

All right - fair is fair.

Movie - Lawrence of Arabia

AWE-SOME movie, thank you David Lean. Not just a bio-pic. About identity, and what is the self?.... And, since it's four hours long by the time you finish it, you can watch it again and it won't feel like you've just seen it. More of a commitment than a movie, in a way.( I really want to smuggle Napoleon Dynamite along, but that would be cheating.)

Book - Lord of the Rings (all three books - that's fair - one story!)

Love it, and by the time you finish it, you can go back and read it again and it won't feel like you just read it.

Album - tough tough tough. I'll have to say Joni Mitchell's "Court and SparK". it's a story in an album, at least I've devised a story out of her songs. I think it might be our Joni at her peak.

Okay folks - your turn!

Karin

[Corey]

I love Joni. Her music, her painting, her writing, her ideas. One of the truly brilliant artists of our time.

[Kazr]

ok here goes, was a hard decision to make
MOVIE -Pirates of the Carribean- ( a huge Johnny Depp fan here & the movie is a lot of fun.
BOOK - Lord of the Rings, still the best book I have read & agree,its an epic in itself.
ALBUM-Josh Groban, either his Closer CD or his Live At The Greek, I could listen to both all day & he has a voice of an angel, find him very soothing.

[Desmond]

MOVIE - Probably 'Lord of the Rings' (any of them) -- so I can keep in mind that no matter how screwed I am, at least I'm not a hobbit.

ALBUM - Any mix CD from my car -- I've yet to find a whole album I like, and if stranded, I want EVERY song to count!

BOOK - The world's largest book -- that way, at night, I can curl up and be warm while it's burning!

[srussell]

MOVIE - Well, first off, I'd smuggle about 10 other DVD discs in my NYPD Blue box set... And let's not forget the included posters so I can have some cute lady cops to look at

MUSIC - Then I'd burn a music DVD that holds about 1600 hours of MP3's.. That'll keep me going for a little while. Sometimes it pays to be a geek!

BOOK - I'd bring the Internal Revenue Service 2006 Tax Code manual, it's nice and thick and will make great kindling (just like Desmond suggested) since I'm not going to read it anyway

[Karin]

Very good picks, people.
And some VERY clever interpretations of the definition of 1 album, 1 movie, etc.


Okay - who's next?

Karin

[Adam]

Movie: Is the player a DivX player? If so I'd bring a disc with Southpark Simpsons and Family guy.

Standard DVD: By Karins logic of a series counting as one choice, I'd bring Star Wars I, II, III, IV, V, VI. Thats over 12 hours of Jedi fun.

Music: Metallica "Justice for All".. If I'm stranded then at least I can rock out

Book: Probably something that I have not read yet because I am a slow reader.. maybe Davinchi or Lord of the Rings since you actually get three books

AJK

[Corey]

You guys and your limit transcensions...

[srussell]

Just thinkin' outside the box and bendin' the rules a little...

[Corey]

Well in that case I get to take a trailer full of skateboards and an indestructible mini-ramp. So there. Ha! [skate, skate, skate] Top *that* Tolkien.

And also I'm changing mine to a dessert island. [droool]

[Karin]

Like those old Dairy Queen commercials with the chocolate mountains and rivers of caramel and banana split boats...I volunteer to be stranded!

mmmmmm...

Sure Corey, since you' ve smashed your tv, you can have the skateboards...


Karin

[Corey]

Yay!!!

[Marnie]

OK, I'm a little late, but did someone say chocolate mountains?? All I read before that has just become a blur!
