PROMPT: Absolute Worst
Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in?

Neither the Orwellian nor the Atwoodian dystopia (1984 nor The Handmaid’s Tale) is for me. (To live in… I enjoyed reading both. Strange thing, that is.)
(Don’t judge me that I didn’t include Huxley’s Brave New World with all its drugs and promiscuous sex.)

PROMPT: Underrated Movie
What’s the most underrated movie you’ve ever watched?

I don’t think Galaxy Quest got a fair shake because its science-fiction / comedy / parody melange did not seem the makings of a good movie. But I think it got its cult following in later years.

I slouch more towards overestimation than underestimation.
Besides, it’s generally true that if one thinks one can’t, one is right — i.e. self-fulfilling prophecy has great sway.

PROMPT: Famous Person
If you could switch lives with a famous person for a week, who would it be and why?

Being famous seems like it would be a drag, like it would be the worst part of being skilled at, and / or beloved for, some people-facing art. I might like to engage in some of the artistic endeavors, but only if I could pass on the fame.
