If you had the chance to spend an hour with one or two people ( dead or alive) who would they be? Would you be able to talk to them, or freeze up? Personally I would love to meet John Lennon and Maynard keenan. Lennon died...

starrm The first person I would spend an hour with is my Grandfather who passed away when my Mother was only 8 years old. My Mother is one of 7 so I've heard so many stories about who he was and the type of person he was that I would really like to meet him. The...

Would you rather go to a movie house than watch a dvd?

p3halliwel2005 @p3halliwel2005 (3156) • Philippines 22 Jul 12

I like watching movies be it both in the movie theater or in a dvd. Although in movie theaters the cost of a ticket is way up high and you don't get to watch parts of it when you suddenly feel like you need to go to the comfort...

starrm It depends on the kind of movie. I personally prefer seeing action, sci-fi, suspense or horror movies in a movie theatre. The screen is obviously larger. The sound system - for all of those loud, jump out of your seat moments - is much better. For comedies and...

starrm I've never serenaded anyone in acapella fashion outside of when I waited tables at an Italian restaurant in College. We had to sing "Happy Birthday" a lot. I do, however, play acoustic guitar and may or may not have attempted to impress a girl or two. ;). It...

How do you receive your television programming?

cotruelove @cotruelove (1016) • Denver, Colorado 21 Jul 12

I am a DirecTV user and the recent financial bullying by Viacom over the channels they provide to satellite companies was quite disturbing. I knew when Viacom took over the control of some of the channels they would use their...

starrm I have Verizon Fios and I love it. My ex-girlfriend had and still has Direct Tv and I'd only switch to it for the Sunday Ticket/NFL package and even that is now available on streaming devices like the Playstation 3.

Would you watch horror movies/serials etc alone at home?

devijay78 @devijay78 (1573) • India 19 Jul 12

First of all, I am too scared to watch horror flicks at all. Secondly, even if I do watch, I need somebody to be there with me because I would cover my face with my hands and peep through my fingers from time to time and I need...

struggling musician...

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9544) • Philippines 13 Jul 12

Now in his late 50's this musician (folk singer, acoustic artist) still struggles to get some food on the table. He calls himself "overstaying" but he can't do anything. He chose to pursue his passion and that's what he did. As a...

starrm There's a saying that goes, "Those who cannot do, teach". If the career is over and the record deal hasn't happened, maybe it's time to think of creative ways to earn an income from the talent. I'm also a musician (just a hobbyist though) - in fact, an...

Marty @marty3888 (2355) • Acme, Michigan 20 Jul 12

After the shooting of the Batman premier, will you go to the theaters. I mean not only is it safer, it costs less, sometimes they're even free. Or do you know that this was a man that was sick and it's not going to start happening...

The Dark Knight Rises - an awesome ending to the trilogy

arunr175 @arunr175 (1677) • India 20 Jul 12

I saw the The Dark Knight Rises, it is an awesome ending to the trilogy. No spoilers here, this movie is well made, another beauty from the director Christopher Nolan. I didn't find any flaw, I am just out of words to describe how...

Reward programs

tinagolden @tinagolden (69) • United States 20 Jul 12

starrm I only do Swagbucks which I love. Essentially I earn enough for a $5 gift card and cash in every time. Those $5 gift cards build up over time. I'm going to try a few of the ones you've mentioned.

starrm You might like almost anything by George Romero (who directed the movies you mentioned). And the two suggestions above are great ones. I'm a huge fan of the Walking Dead show and 28 Days Later. While it's more comedy than horror, The Shaun of the Dead is a...

Dexter Season 7

meleopard @meleopard (12) 13 Mar 12

What can we expect with the next season of Dexter? Now that Deb saw him, will he confess his "dark passenger"? Or will he add another lie to keep Deb away from the monster that he is?

Do you wear pants even in hot weather?

SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32188) • United States 2 Jul 12

Growing up, I would wear jeans even if it was hot outside. I didn't like to wear shorts or anything like that. Mostly it was because I didn't want to shave, or this was before I was "allowed to shave." I will wear a skirt or...
