Name one movie you\u2019d never watch again even if someone paid you. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anything <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>STAR WARS<\/strong><\/span>. I know I&#8217;ll get a hail storm of hate mail on this topic but I cannot stand the Star Wars series. The original movies, the new ones&#8230;yuck. It breaks Michael&#8217;s heart because I&#8217;ll never watch them.

Name 5 fictional characters you want to have dinner with. And TELL ME WHY.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">King Arthur. <\/span>I love everything Arthurian legend. I really believe I was born in the wrong time period! The costumes, the chivalry, the Knights&#8230;I love it all.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Indiana Jones.<\/span> I love the movies (not the most recent of course) and I loved the adventure of it. Meeting archeologist\/adventurist would be cool!<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Ironman<\/span>. I&#8217;m noticing a theme in my list&#8230;I like Hero Men apparently. \ud83d\ude42 I love the Ironman movies. And Robert Downey Jr isn&#8217;t too bad to look at.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Dr. House.<\/span> Funny, ironic, cruel and he makes me laugh. I love how smart and sharp-tongued he is.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Dexter Morgan.<\/span> I am so fascinated by the character. I&#8217;m a very black and white person when it comes to morals&#8230;but for some reason Dexter seems heroic. Maybe because he&#8217;s killing the scum of society that our justice systems misses?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/dextermorgan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10609\" title=\"dextermorgan\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/dextermorgan-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/dextermorgan-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/dextermorgan.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

I loved the book. The book was gripping, tragic and heartbreaking but the movie really fell short of the book. It was a big disappointment for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Vacation: beach or mountains?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a hard one. My first choice would probably be the mountains. I love hiking and nature. One of my favorite road trips was from Portland to Montana.
