The top 10 of the my favorites

I’ve been thinking. In my life I make the statement a lot that something is “the best ever” or “my absolute favorite.” Generally it is in the context of movies or music. Everyone has opinion on them. I can confidently declare that I am an artsy person. I enjoy it all. Plays, ballet, opera, musicals, TV, film, rhythm and blues, Country, on and on and on. So here is a list of things that I would like to declare are in all actuality my favorites.

#1 Best - Horror --- Love it, the gorier, the more insane, the more violent and totally unbelievable the better.
The top of the top cream of the crop is any cheesy flick that that has been turned into a franchise and has been released between the late 70’s and early 2000’s, especially the ones with crappy sequels. Right now I am watching Phantasm, the first one, of which there are 4, the last of which came out 20 years after the original. Best all time horror series is the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” series. In this series there are 7 sequels, and a prequel currently being scripted. With that there are some classics…Friday the 13th (10 sequels), the Omen (3 sequels), and Halloween (7 sequels, and a prequel do out this year), A Texas Chainsaw Massacre (3 sequels, one remake, and one prequel), Living Dead (4 Ramero sequels and 4 Return of sequels and 1 spin off), Alien (5 sequals including 2 AVP) and The Howling (5 squeals). But then there are the less known franchises such as Phantasm, Critters (3 sequels), Ghoulies (3 sequels), its alive (2 sequels), Night of the Demons (2 sequels), Leprechaun (5 sequels), Hell raiser (8 sequels and a remake in production), House (2 sequels), Amityville (8 sequels and one remake) and many many more. When I talk about these Karen laughs at me and rolls her eyes. But I must admit I love the horror film.

#2 Best lyric “I’m gonna find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means, then we will fill in the missing colors in each others paint by number dreams” The best verbal representation of what true love should be that I have ever heard.
“Maybe if I jiggle it a little it'll open up on its own” is a very close second

#3 Best Pat Benatar Song --- We belong

#4 best book, - Microserfs by Douglas Coopland. Brings out the techno geek in me. Ties in my favorite toy legos, has a couple great love stories and, and a emotional twist at the end.

#5 Best Toy – LEGOS, you can build anything.

#6 best underwear. Tommy Hilfiger boxer briefs. They are incredibly comfortable and delicately soft.

#7 Best car manufacturer. Volkswagen, It is simply amazing what those German engineers can do. And their commercials rock too.

#8 best alcoholic beverage. Bourbon

#9 Favorite Past time. Cooking. A good cook is never without a friend.

#10 best mind game… the Kevin Bacon game. It sound crazy but thois ties in with my number 1. I like to watch horror movies, old and new. When I watch them I like to think of what els I have seen actors in, kinda like the keven backon game, then I tie thm to other actors that are in the same film or have done other things with other actors. Most recent example… Alexis Bledel (of Gilmore girls fame) is currently acting with Matt Czuchery who was in Jake 2.0 with Christopher Gorham who is currently on Ugly Betty With America Ferrera who was in the sisterhood of the traveling pants with Alexis Bledel. I also find it very interesting that most “TV” actors who try to break off to movie careers pick cheesy horror films as there starting point. Example… Almost every cast member from the TV show ”Buffy the Vampire slayer” has gone on to do at least one horror film… SMG has done the Grudge, and the Return recently but started her movie carear in I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Scream 2. Nicholas Brendon was in Childrenn of the corn 3 (another great franchise) and Demon island about a killer piñata. Alison Hannigan does not count because she had a movie career before buffy. James Marsters did the remake of the House on Haunted Hill. Emma Caulfield was in Darkness Falls. Michelle Trechtenberg was in the remake of Black Christmas. Charisma Carpenter was in Voddoo Moon. David Boreanaz was in Valentine and the Crow 4 (another franchise). Marc Blucas was in They. These are just things I know, and associate or think of when ever I see anything with someone in it.

Well that is all for now.
