I am neuro-praxis. Welcome to NeurolandTM. This is a place where you can truly be yourself. It is the road to self-discovery. It is a can of Heineken. It is a mouthful of roast chicken. It is the best track on the cd ruined by a scratch. It is a ticket to a film you've already seen. It is an inevitable disappointment. JUST LIKE YOUR LIFE.
So...HAVE YOU BEEN WASHED IN THE SAVING BLOOD? This is what we call NeurohumourTM. I once found a large yellowing slug in my dishwasher but rest assured: there is more to me than anecdotes about slugs. Not a lot more, now.
Alright, we'll start slow, easing back into this blogging lark like a vegetarian finally coming to their senses and recommencing meat-eating. This blog entry is an egg fried in a little bacon fat - not quite meat but meat-tainted all the same.
We'll start with an exhortation from Zoomspouse.
1. One movie that made you laugh
Bruce Almighty. Ok, it's a crap film. But it's got that scene where the Godsome Carrey makes Carrell speak while reading the news and it's just priceless. I actually cried laughing. Maybe my period was due.
2. One movie that made you cry
The Passion of the Christ, although it was less crying and more sobbing hysterically.
3. One movie you loved when you were a child
Finian's Rainbow. I went through a strange period of watching this low-budget no-plot piece of crap once a day for almost an entire academic year. Don't ask me why: I'm not sure I even enjoyed it. It was about a Leprechaun and some twee Irish family living in a cardboard meadow in the US.
4. One movie you’ve seen more than once
Edward Scissorhands. And I'd watch it again, damnit!
5. One movie you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it
Ah now, there are a few of these. Dirty Dancing, for one. It's right up the genre of movies I hate, and probably fulfills all the stereotypes too. That doesn't stop me repeating "Nobody puts neuro in the corner" ad nauseum, however. Another one is Awakenings. Cheesetastic. I love it.
6. One movie you hated
Lost in Translation. Yes, you heard me. I despise that piece of indulgent nonsense.
7. One movie that scared you
The Exorcist. I wish to this day that I'd never seen it. Don't watch it.
8. One movie that bored you
The Simpsons movie. Sorry.
9. One movie that made you happy
Little Miss Sunshine
10. One movie that made you miserable
Dancer in the Dark. The misery lives on.
11. One movie you weren’t brave enough to see
What was the name of that prominent movie with the eleven minute anal rape scene? Not a chance in hell, my friend.
12. One movie character you’ve fallen in love with
That sexy teenage Kevin Bacon in Footloose!
13. The last movie you saw
The Incredible Hulk (with the delicious Edward Norton).
14. The next movie you hope to see
Prince Caspian
Well, that'll do me kids. Give me a few months to think of something else to astonish you with.
