FridayQ: Endings

It’s a Sunday and it’s over a week late. Sue me. 😛

From the past, what’s something that’s ended which you wish hadn’t? Hmmm….that’s a tough one. Probably my time in college. I don’t know why I clicked with the experience like I did but it was fantastic.

From today, what’s something that’s gone on too long and you wish it would end now? The “war” in Iraq. They’ve created a massive quagmire that will take decades to sort out.

For tomorrow, what’s something you wish would never end at all? The goodness of the human spirit. That sounds like bullshit and it could very well be but with the amount of people out there who are making a difference daily, the world ain’t doomed in my eyes.

FQ FINALE: Visit the FridayQ Archives, and revisit an old favorite with new answers, or pick a favorite you missed to answer new. Since I’m into films I chose the Cinema FridayQ. 🙂

If you could own any item from any movie, what would you take and why?
That would have to be the Delorian from Back to the Future. Screw any of the cars on Pimp My Ride, this is the original and best movie vehicle. What other car travels through time when it hits 88 miles an hour?! Now….where did I put that plutonium?

If you could become any character from any movie, who would it be and why?
I’d be John Keating (the teacher) from Dead Poets Society. Being able to instill a sense of right and wrong into young people is as an admirable thing as I can imagine. The character embodied what I would one day like to be as a teacher.

If you could visit any location from any movie, where would it be and why? I’d visit New Zealand where the Lord of the Rings was filmed. It’s an obvious answer but the place seems so picturesque and gorgeous. My backup answer is Astoria where the Goonies was filmed. Love that movie. 😀

FQ MOVIE MASH-UP: Combine some items, characters, and locations from different movies to create an entirely new film! What would you call it and what would it be about Ok, well I’d take Vince Vaughan from Swingers, Chunk from the Goonies, Gene Wilder from the Producers, Billy Crystal from When Harry Met Sally, Tom Hanks from any of his films plus Michael J Fox. In terms of props, I’d take the Delorian as previously mentioned, and a healthy supply of Jaffa Cakes. The story would involve time travelling to different historical wars and setting up camp. The guys would feed the troops Jaffa Cakes and regail them with tales from the future. I’ve absolutely no idea why I came up with that as it seems fairly pyschotic. 😆 It doesn’t have a title.

Alas, this is the last FridayQ as Dave has decided to retire the series. Even if I wasn’t always punctual, I always loved doing it so farewell FridayQ and may you have a great retirement. 🙂
