In response to "Murder in the Sun"

I loved Nathan Fillion as the detective novelist and crime fighter wannabe in castle. I watched the drama you'd like to be in and it can be entertaining. Why not? Crime fighting and beach time is a win-win.

I must be out of the loop - I don't recognize any of the references you made. Tells you I don't watch regular TV much.

In response to "Murder in the Sun"

I love Nathan Fillion! Have you been watching The Rookie? He is absolutely wonderful but I wonder if he would be so much of little boy in man's clothing that he would be an ass?

I notice that you didn't choose to be one of the victims... If you did you could change locations every week.

In response to "Behold! Beards!"

Those facial hair trends have 'cool' names, too. You mentioned Hipster, but there's The Lumberjack also. Some men are known as metrosexual. The fashion comes with a moniker. Yes, who decides what is and isn't cool? Often the fads seem ridiculous.

In response to "Behold! Beards!"

I look better with a short beard but for the last year and two months it hasn't mattered. I've gone between full bush and clean shaven. When my skin acts up I shave it off. It's been 19 months without a haircut. I could chop it off and have a friend trim it but... it doesn't matter.

It's interesting how at certain stages of life everything matters. I'm not in that stage at the moment.

In response to "Bath Books"

I have never had a Bath as opposed to a bath. I only remember a couple of times I lit candles. These days I don't have baths, just showers. But they feel pretty good, too. I like the idea of your Baths and bath books.

In response to "Bath Books"

I'm with you, reading induces relaxation and in turn calms me down. Fairy-cake novels are too sweet for me, but I like your moniker for romances.

In response to "Bath Books"

I was the one who mentioned it and although it received some positive feedback the suggestion was not put in place. It's one of the reasons I didn't join this month's challenge and may not bother in the future. I'm tired of prompts that trigger my traumas, although I did okay in March.

I took a hot soak and turned the lights off. Very relaxing, although a scented candle would've been better.

I have to use the bathtub downstairs which has no place to place anything. I don't dare take anything other than a used paperback ...

But yes, a long deep soak with a book.

In response to "Bring Back Latin...?!"

Latin is okay but limited (helps with Romance and Celtic languages, less with Germanic and Slavic, used in certain fields). Chinese characters are much more useful and translate well into English in ways that Latin doesn't.

The US is so fortunate to have imigrants from every corner of the world. Many mono-lingual Americans would disagree but English while useful is not an easy language.

In Taiwan many people know and speak Mandarin but I prefer to say thank-you in Hokkien (do sia) or Hakka (si mu ni).

I think and dream in Spanish. It took a long time for that to happen.

Sci-Fi, Disney, & Fantasy

Challenge: What are your favorite movie genres? Share some recommendations with your readers!

As a child, some of my absolute favourite movies were Labyrinth (with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly), Fern Gully: the Last Rainforest (with Robin Williams), and The Emerald Forest (with Charlie Booth). I guess the big crossover between these three point to my interests - Labyrinth and Fern Gully are both fantasy/adventure, and Fern Gully (for all it has Robin Williams as a rapping lab-escapee bat) and The Emerald Forest are both commentaries on human nature and carry very important messages about nature and the environment.

I guess in terms of genre, my tastes are still broadly similar now as they were when I was a child (Avon from Blakes 7 was and still is my weird celebrity crush). I still love the comedy and athletic skill of Jackie Chan (albeit more his Hong Kong action days and less his Hollywood slapstick). James Bond still makes me roll my eyes - but that won't stop me from seeing each new release in the cinema.
It was more Disney than Pixar/Dreamworks growing up (I'm a Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, & Jungle Book era kid), but I'll never turn down a film night with Shrek or the Ice Age crew, and Moana spends more time on my music playlist than a 30-something should ever admit to.
