Saturday 9

(Link in meme-roll)
Live and Let Die

1) "Live and Let Die" was nominated for an Oscar as best song. Do you have a favorite movie song?
I'm partial to "Lara's Theme" from Dr. Zhivago. I also like The Proclaimers' "500 Miles" from Benny & Joon.
2) The latest Bond movie, Skyfall, is crazy successful. Have you seen it/do you want to see it?
I have never seen a Bond film start to finish. Why start now?
3) What do you think makes Bond movies so enduringly popular?
I can't explain it; they seem ridiculous and extremely sexist, although I hear the latest one isn't quite so much of the latter.
4) Do you have a favorite among the actors who have played "Bond, James Bond?"
Remington St ... er, that is, Pierce Brosnan. Drool. I always liked Roger Moore too; he seemed like a fun guy. Mind you, I've clearly never seen either of them doing their Bond impersonation.
5) Bond orders martinis -- "shaken, not stirred." What's your regular drink order?
Stoli, rocks. Or tonic if I'm feeling particularly weak.
6) Moving from the bar to breakfast -- do you have a favorite cereal?
Froot Loops. I like Grape Nuts ok too.
7) Let's daydream about warm weather. Would you rather swim in a lake, the ocean, or an outdoor pool?
I can't swim, so...yeah. I'll do my swimming in the bathtub, thanks.
8) Did you get 8 hours' sleep last night?
I fell asleep sometime after 4 this morning and was up at 7:30 for a haircut. Tried for a nap at noon, but that didn't work. I'm so fucking tired right now I am having to type everything twice. [Peeerce?, feeling week?, bahtub?)
9) What are you wearing on your feet right now?
Not . a . thing. Not even nail polish.

I have never gotten in to grape nuts. I try to like them. I'm more of a cereal without milk kinda eater.

Hope you catch up on some rest this weekend!

Hearts: Indeed he does.

Kimberly: I have a hard time forgiving the egregious anti-woman stance of most of the early ones.

BC: I do that too! It makes yogurt almost edible. ;-)

Kwiz: I don't put milk in my cereal either. Yuck. Except Grape Nuts, cuz...yeah, they need to soak in something!

Penguin: Yay us! "Penguinsauce"??? {{shudder}} lol

My Saturday 9 is here!

I could have answered some of these questions *exactly* the same way you did! I always shied away from the early Bond movies because they sounded irredeemably sexist, and while I only know Pierce Brosnan from Remington Steele, he was quite yummy there.
