THIS or THAT: the game
-
Cher. I don't care for her music but I respect the fact that she's had a good career as a singer, AND a good career as a comedy actress, AND a good career as a serious actress. Let's face it some of the divas who would want to replace aren't capable of getting a joke much less telling one.
Barbra or Bette
-
At first my mind went to Bette Davis, and I thought it to be a strange comparison. :faint:
In any event, I'll take Bette Midler over Babs any day. To be fair, I have only seen Bette in person (Hello, Dolly! on Broadway last year). Both ladies absolutely rule the stage with their presence, but I prefer the warmer, bawdier style of the Divine Miss M.
(Not that Bette doesn't have diva moments. There was no ice allowed in our drinks at the theatre, so as not to distract from her concentration, lol.)
THIS or THAT: New Wave-era bands ABC, or Depeche Mode?
-
That is a difficult one. I like them both. I've been trying to find the 'How to be a Millionaire' video from ABC for ages. But I think Depeche Mode has more breadth to their music. So, DP for 'Masters and Servants'.
Queerer New-Age bands: Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Bronski Beat.
(Pity virtually no one knows about Tom Robinson or Pete Shelley anymore.) -
Bronski Beat by a nose (today was the Kentucky Derby, which I'll be using in your other thread shortly).
For all the bombast of FGTH, I am reminded of the quiet power of certain BB songs like It Ain't Necessarily So:
_It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily soDavid was small but oh my
David was small but oh my
He shot Goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Little David was small but oh myJonah he lived in a whale
Jonah he lived in a whale
He made his home in that fishes abdomen
Jonah he lived in a whaleMoses was found on a stream
Moses was found on a stream
Floated on water old Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that streamIt ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all your children
The devil he's a villain
It ain't necessarily so_THIS or THAT: You must make one of your favorite dinner recipes with a substitution of Velveeta (highly processed cheese), or Spam (highly processed meat).
-
Spam fries for dinner :cheers:
go to the beach or mountain hiking
-
hiking.
By the way,'It Ain't Neccessarily So' is a cover of a Gershwin song from Porgy and Bess. Here's Ella Fitzgerald's duet with Louis Armstrong version from 1951.
Youtube VideoBig Band or Broadway
-
Broadway
Black hair or blond hair?
-
Make it natural black.
But long or short natural black hair?
-
Short
Green or blue eyes?
-
Green
Sleep or party all night? -
Sleep, unless I'm on a vacation somewhere great.
THIS or THAT: At the petting zoo – goat or llama?
-
Llama, goats smell bad.
Baby bunnies or kittens
-
Kittens, though I prefer puppies
Deadpool or Captain America
-
**Captain America rulez!
America or Europe?!
** -
Darn that's a toughie..
Europe (let's focus on quality of life than increased profit)
Melody or Lyrics
-
Melody, lyrics come later.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice found there?
-
Through the Looking-Glass.
Chronicles of Narnia or The LIghtening Thief series
-
Neither, but since I have to… Chronicles of Narnia.
Resident Evil: Novels or audio dramas?
-
Cuervos, I would gladly choose both your THIS and your THAT over the last RE cinema feature film. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter was yet another franchise that went one film too far for the sake of $$$. As much as I love the first two RE films, Final Chapter was dreary to look at and very predictable. Imho, of course.
THIS or THAT: Lunch (and maybe more) with Ben Affleck or Matt Damon?
-
AND.
Just one? Ben AffleckBook store or hardware store.
