Only Time I'll use this icon...

[shadowkat]

I didn't make it, earth_vexer did. This baby just makes me giggle. And you have to admit it is a fitting icon for this meme that's being passed about at the moment.

Ten Television and/or Movie Actors I'd Boink (in my dreams of course)

In no particular order:

1. James Marsters
2. Hugh Jackman
3. Christian Bale
4. Pierce Bronsen
5. Hugh Laurie

Okay am drawing a huge blank. So make that five at this moment in time. That's why I don't do memes very often, I make it halfway through, mind becomes a blank. I give up.

How about Actors I'd Clearly Watch in Anything, much to my own amusement? (again no particular order just whenever they pop into my brain...)

1. Christian Bale
2. Hugh Jackman
3. Anthony Stewart Head
4. Alexis Denisof
5. Pierce Bronsan
6. Dame Judith Dench
7. Michael Caine
8. John Cusack
9. Meryl Streep
10. Cate Blanchett
11. Edward Norton
12. Philip Seymore Hoffman
13. Catherine Keener
14. Laura Linney
15. Johnny Depp
16. Carey Grant
17. Gregory Peck
18. Paul Newman
19. Gene Hackman
20. Annett Being
21. Rachel Weiz
22. Ralph Fiennes
23. Julianne Moore (getting better about this one)
24. Robert Deniro (ditto)
25. Jack Nicholson (ditto)

And Ian McKellan (how could I forget Ian...)

Yes, we've paid for this more than once.


And writers/directors, I'll clearly go to whatever movies they do:


1. Woody Allen
2. Christopher Nolan
3. Stephen Spielberg (sigh)
4. Martin Scorsese (sigh)
5. Jane Campion (sigh)
6. Julie Taymor (the gal who directed the Broadway version of Lion King and Titus Andronicus)
7. Cuavurn (the guy who did the Third Harry Potter film and the remake of The Little Princess)
8. The Indian Woman who directed Bend it Like Benkman and Bride and Prejudice
9. Ang Lee
10. John Woo
11. Miyasuki (the animator behind Spirited Away)
12. tim Burton (yes, I know, I'm crazy)
13. Terry Gilliam (ditto)
14. Joss Whedon (ditto)
15. Steven Sorderberg (the guy who did Sex Lies and Video Tape along with Out of Sight, and yes, nuts, we know this.)
16. Nora Ephron (I never learn...)
17. Ridley Scott (beginning to be careful here)
18. David Lynch (ditto)

And I've drawn a blank. Thank god. Getting off the net now!

I forgot Hugh Laurie. Definitely.

Excellent lists!

Ditto. And how could I forget Pierce Brosnan? I spent most of the 90s watching Remington Steele.

Hey I just remembered Antonio Banderas...ghod, how could I forget him? You know the mind, it just blanks whenever I tell it do a meme.

Also to be fair, neither actor has done much lately. In Bronsan's last film, he played an aging hit man, with a pot belly. And I missed Banderas...sigh. Nah, not worth going back to add him.

So see, totally understandable how you'd forget him.

The films I've watched just to see Bronsan...sigh.

You know the mind, it just blanks whenever I tell it do a meme.

Which is why I hardly ever do any "list your top..." memes. My mind just goes completely blank.

[shadowkat67.livejournal.com]

Yes it's the weirdest thing, I can think up all these people off-hand when I'm not asked directly to list them. But when I am? I'm lucky to grab five. But if I create my own meme - no problemo.

Then later, I look back at the list and think, wait, wait, how I could I have forgotten so and so...and why in the heck did I list that person?

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

*Exactly* what happens to me as well.

[frenchani.livejournal.com]

The icon is indeed very funny!

[shadowkat67.livejournal.com]

Yes, it makes me giggle whenever I look at it. Or think of it...

Hee Hee.

[embers-log.livejournal.com]

I LOVE your icon, so funny...
and I'm afraid my list of writers/directors would be a lot shorter than yours... I have ended up with a wait and see attitude toward Woody Allen, Stephen Spielberg, Scorsese, Ang Lee, Tim Burton, Gilliam, Ephron, Scott, Lynch, and Robert Altman.
The only ones I'll go see no matter what are Joss & Miyasuki.

I'll go do the rest of the meme at my lj....

[shadowkat67.livejournal.com]

Hee. I need to learn to be more picky...a while ago talking to a friend, I was saying how I wasn't a fan of Woody Allen, Spielberg, etc...then stopped myself in mid-thought and started rattling off in my head all the films they'd done that I've seen, and realized much to my chagrin, I'd ahem, seen most of them. I've even read almost all of Allen's plays. So clearly I like Allen more than I'm willing to admit, might as well copt to it. Some more than others.

The directors I listed are the ones that I've more or less seen most of the films of, due to the fact that I tend to like them - unfortunately they often do stinkers at times. It's impossible not too.

Other's I forgot to list, because drew a huge blank, but remember now are: John Ford, Howard Hawks, Billy Wilder, Mike Nichols, Sergio Leone, Sam Peckinpah, Elia Kazan (most of, not all), David Attenbourough, David Lean (the guy who did Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawerence of Arabia, Passage to India)...and yes, I've seen one too many movies in my lifetime, this I know. ;-)Currently watching Sweet Smell of Success as I'm watching this.

[embers-log.livejournal.com]

Yeah I thought I should put David Lynch down as one I'm wary of, but the fact is I have only liked a couple of his movies (I did love 'Twin Peaks') so I guess I shouldn't list him at all....
I had been a huge Lawrence Kasden film, but after 'Wild Wild West' I learned to be wary!
And M. Night Shyamalan, I thought I was a fan at one time but I've gotten kind of more on the 'wait' than even the 'wait and see'....
When we get into the older films there are a lot of greats, and Billy Wilder really did some great work.

[shadowkat67.livejournal.com]

Ah, forgot M. Night Shyalaman, who I appear to have managed to see all the films of.
Lynch...I'm wary of, I liked Twin Peaks (the first two years, not the film that followed) and Blue Velvet. But most of his films haven't been able to watch.

Truth is - they all make stinkers occassionally. Impossible not to. So, I give them the benefit of the doubt. More or less a numbers game.

Well you may have only listed 5 but they are "cherce" to quote Pat and Mike. And I'd agree with a big chunk of your second list except Catherine Keener who had I to look up and realized I've never seen her in anything and De Niro who often does things that are "odd" to me, Rocky and Bullwinkle anyone...

[shadowkat67.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've learned the hard way to be picky when it comes to Deniro.
Michael Caine, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman and Robert Deniro have picked some of the worste movies ...one must be careful when following actors about.

Catherine Keener is an indie actress or art house, smarter than Parker Posey. She's been nominated twice I think. Her best roles were in Being John Malkovich and Capote. Always plays bright women.
And I occassionally confuse her with the gal who was the femme fatale in The Last Seduction and played the female lead in Men in Black.
