At the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe.

Today has been brought to me by the following albums: Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, Lucinda Williams's World Without Tears, Shawn Colvin's Cover Girl, and Emmylou Harris & Linda Ronstadt's Western Wall. For those who might be unfamiliar with what this soundtrack would be like, picture dusty desert stretches of interstate in long boat-like cars and stopping at small town gas stations. I need a cowboy hat and to be wearing more denim. And smoking, of course. But no, I'm just wearing my brown pants and blue plaid shirt, looking like my typical sexy nerd fag self.

Thanks to folks who posted comments to my request for introductions, as I have been highly entertained and informed by your answers. I think "what's your least favorite movie" is my new favorite random getting-to-know-you question because in some ways it's just as telling and more interesting than knowing the most favorite. Also, I feel like there's often a story involved. I mean, why exactly did you end up sitting through such a horrifying spectacle of celluloid?

And of course, I will answer my own questions.

1. Raymond aka Ray aka Raybear aka Ray J aka DJ BoyWonder aka Honky Cat aka Whoadie aka Miss Mirriam Webster aka Have you met me?
2. I stumbled into my world through the help of literature and friends and hours of therapy.
3. My favorite sandwich might be grilled cheese with slices of tomato and avocado. Runners-up include the italian subs at Jimmy John's and Potbelly.
4. Currently my favorite shirt is blue. Bright toy blue. As featured in my userpic. Runners-up include all my grey shirts.
5. This is a complicated question for me, because sometimes I love bad movies because they're campy or because they're so bad. But if I base it on "time lost and never regained", I'll go with the boring factor.

Worst movies seen in the theater:
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (I think I fell asleep in every scene that didn't feature The Lady Chablis -- and I LOVE Savannah)
The Chase (I was on a date and he had horrible taste in movies and always did the choosing since he also did the paying.)

Worst movies I've rented:
Black & White
Hush
Glitter
(the last two were supposed to be so bad they were good, but they were just so bad they were bad)

There are lots of other movies that I've never finished because they were bad, but I thought I would only include ones I've seen in their entirety.

Have you ever eaten at Leo's Lunchroom? Your favorite sandwich is on the menu there.

I haven't -- never even heard of the place until mintwaster mentioned it. Perhaps we should meet there for a lunch adventure someday?

[magdalene1.livejournal.com]

I would really enjoy that, I think. Yes!

crankyasanoldma made me watch Glitter. God. Damn. Her.

Re: Glitter. I was really disappointed at how earnest the movie was. I wanted trashy! I wasnted Showgirls 2! And what was up with the lead actor having a mix of a New York accent and a British one?

Re: Leo's Lunchroom. I just looked up the address, and I think I HAVE eaten there once before with dommeyourass AND I think I even ordered my favorite sandwich there. So forgetful sometimes. But, I would still be game for meeting there for lunch or somewhere else even. I work in the Loop, but have been known to take the train out a few stops for an extra long "hour". Or we could do it on a weekend.

The next week or so is a little busy, but let me know what are generally good days for you.

It was a fun game. I had to think about the name of the movie (Half Past Dead) becuase it was so bad I blocked it from memory. I was on a date and we made an impromptu decision to see a movie and got that at the WAY wrong time. It was our only choice besides leaving or waiting 2 hours for the next showing of a better movie.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

I also was bored to death by that movie. Both times I've tried to watch it (I wanted to watch it both times because it seemed so damn interesting a concept) I've fallen asleep.

I recommend the hourlong A&E documentary special "Midnight in Savannah" which covers the story as well as the phenomenon of "The Book", as it's known in Savannah.
