King Kong vs. Godzilla. Kong looked like a gingerbread cookie.
For reals, Least Favorite mystery novel.
The Egyptian Cross Mystery, by Ellery Queen. Straightforward mysteries, I could usually get; but this one was just so weird, it was impossible. And no fun to read.
Least favorite character in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World?
Least favorite book that I actually read cover to cover is probably 1984. Had to read it in high school, in 1984, and the teacher pretended that this was somehow significant.
There are other books I have liked less, but I didn’t finish them. Sometimes I didn’t get past page one. Mostly don’t remember the names.
Least favorite decade of the 20th century, fashion-wise. (Thinking mostly US and W. Europe; you don’t need to say “1900-1910 because China still had bound feet.”)
1970’s…Just awful. I’m not big into fashion, but even I hate 70’s style anything (except Charlton Heston sci-fi flicks!)
Least favorite Charlton Heston film
The Four Musketeer’s: Milady’s Revenge. A much later sequel to The Three Musketeers with Michael York, Oliver Reed and Raquel Welch, in which Charlton played Cardinal Richelieu. This one has nearly the whole cast back, but it’s really slow, poorly written, and everyone is too old to do the athletic comedy necessary.
Least favorite river?
Styx - I have no coins for the boatman. Also the band sucks in a way that I like them enough to listen to their songs, but then they get stuck in my head and I don’t want to be signing Blue Collar Man all day.
Least Favorite Peninsula
San Joaquin, which has been so heavily dammed and diverted, Im not sure it even exists anymore in its original watercourse.
Least favorite mutton recipe.
Wow. I would’ve said Florida.
Mutton in coconut milk. Pretty much anything cooked in coconut milk is nasty, even though I actually like raw coconut milk by itself. I like plain coconut meat by itself too, but I hate it as an ingredient in a confection. Come to think of it, I’ve never had it as an ingredient in something savory. I’ve had savory things with coconut milk as an ingredient (I kinda like Mulligatawny soup if I’m in the right mood, but anything else, Nope); nothing with coconut meat except cake and candy, and then it’s always shredded, which I hate.
There’s probably a salad recipe out there with almonds, coconut, Romaine, cheese, and a Vinaigrette that I would like. Maybe carrots and a few other veggies.
Least favorite ingredient, or flavor, in confections.
Peppermint - I like it in gum, but nowhere else.
least favorite Muppet
Rizzo the Rat. But I didn’t like Ratatouille either.
Least favorite nursery rhyme.
Fun fact: I helped install/upgrade the render farm for that movie at Pixar.
The old lady who lived in a shoe. I never understood, was she tiny? Or was the shoe huge? Either way, why live in it?
Least favorite Pixar movie
Toy Story 3
Least favorite incarnation of Wonder Woman, and you can choose from the film version; any of the TV live-action or cartoon versions; or any of the comic book versions, the original Golden Age, or any reboot, and there have been at least four by my count. Also, any other version I haven’t thought of.
least favorite kid genius
Doogie Howser MD. Give it time; my choice might become Young Sheldon.
Least favorite character in Apocalypse Now?
Colonel Kurtz (played by Marlon Brando). I don’t know who to blame for that fiasco, Brando? Coppola? Whoever, but the whole batshit crazy thing didn’t work for me.
Least favorite western philosophical concept
The idea that perpetual peace could be secured through universal democracy and international cooperation, because human nature makes this impossible, and Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable.
least favorite hurricane
The one they make down at Joe’s Crab Shack
Least favorite cocktail
Anything with gin, but particularly the classic Martini. Gimlets are pretty awful too. I make an exception for Long Island iced tea, but there’s so little of each liquor in it, none really stands out-- FWIW, when I make them at home from scratch, though, I leave out the gin.
Least favorite board game.
Any of the hundreds of -opoly knock-offs out there (dog-opoly, cat-opoly, college-opoly, casino-opoly ad nauseum). If I’m in the mood to monopolize something, let it be original Atlantic City. Accept no substitutes.
Least favorite televangelist
Peter Popoff
