[FRIENDS, you know who you are]

I've been thinking, for reasons, about that idea that you can tell a lot about a person by what their favorite song or book or whatever is. Usually songs and books. Those are things that have a tendency to be really personal to a person. And it can sometimes be surprising to see what comes up.

So, because I'm bored and can't sleep, what's yours? And because fair is fair, here are mine:

Book: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielwelski
Song: Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

Bonus round...

Movie: Hellraiser: Bloodline

Super bonus round...

Color: Purple (more amethyst and lilac than royal purple, but y'get the picture)

OH, ballet! I like the fairytale ones. Especially the Andersen-fairytale ones. My parents took me to see the Nutcracker every year for Christmas. And then Swan Lake and the Sleeping Beauty ballet are both right up there at the top of my favorites. I've seen Giselle, but I've never seen Firebird or Dance of the Blessed Spirits before. They did a ballet version of Hunchback of Notre Dame too, but I haven't even be able to find a video of that.

We could totally catch you up on movies sometime, though. If you wanna? There are a lot of really good dance movies to start with, unless you have a favorite non-dance-movie genre. Perks of working in movie theaters since I was fourteen, I know a LOT of films.

	There are some beautiful ones out the Tchaikovsky is always a well-respected fall back, so I can't fault you for those faves. Yeah, I'd like that. I'm not a big romcom fan, but dance movies and action movies would be good areas to start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There's some logic to that... Because fight choreography and dance choreography use a lot of the same skills. They say dancers make really good action actors. They pick up the moves faster than other actors and don't have to rely on their stunt doubles as much! And also they send football players to learn ballet so they're more coordinated on the field, so it works the other way around too.

I'll make you a list! There have been a lot of pretty stellar martial arts films that have come out recently too if you don't mind subtitles.

	Speaking from personal experience, that honestly isn't surprising at all. Subtitles are fine, they just make sure you're paying attention to the movie, you konw? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
