Ah. New game. It should have been discovered by Tuesday, but wasn’t, so here we go:
1. Poetry or prose?
Ach. Sorry, can’t chose. I read more prose, but I wouldn’t survive without poetry. Besides, a lot of prose is poetry.
2. Funky modern art or the older, “classic” variety?
Classic-ish. You know, Turner and all that.
3. Sculptures or paintings?
Paintings. Though I also love sculptures.
4. Theatre: exuberant musical or serious drama?
I’d have to say the latter. Les Mis has sort of ruined all other musicals for me, so I spend more time wishing I were watching Les Mis than I spend actually paying attention to what’s going on on stage.
5. Ballet or modern dance?
Not a big fan of either, but I’d go for modern as having more variety.
6. Movies: major studio or indie?
Indie.
7. Authors: Shakespeare or Dr. Seuss?
Shakespeare.
8. TV: PBS or A&E?
A&E (being partly responsible for P&P and Hornblower, they win hands down)
9. Music: Beethoven or Beatles?
Beatles
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You are a contributing member of your favorite art museum, and visit on a regular basis. They announce a new, temporary special exhibit by an artist surrounded by controversy…this person’s work and/or political views offend you. Do you stop supporting the museum, or just stay away during the time the exhibit is there?
Difficult scenario to picture, I am not easily offended by art. Of course, I suppose the controversy could be “is this art or nazi propaganda” for example, in which case I might find it hard to swallow. Unless the “offense” was repeated frequently, I guess I’d still support the museum. And I’d probably want to see the exhibit before deciding whether there were case for offense, so staying away is not an option.
