Jamie over at THROUGH TWO BLUE EYES tagged with the Sunflower Tag and since I have already done the tag a long time ago so I am going to skip the random and just answer Jamie's questions and tag people.
Rules:
1. Share 11 facts about yourself.
2. Answer the questions set by your Nomination Blogger
3. Nominate 11 bloggers.
4. Set questions for the nominated bloggers.
1. If you could only keep two of your five senses, which would they be? Sight and hearing.
2. What is your opinion of the Harry Potter series; if you like it, who are your favorite characters and what house do you belong? If you don’t, do you hold your standards for Harry Potter against other series with magic like Lord of the Rings, Merlin or The Chronicles of Narnia? Why or why not?
Harry Potter is an overall strong franchise that started out as a couple of decent kids' movies and ended up being a fantasy epic. While not even close to The Lord of the Rings in terms of quality, Harry Potter is my fourth favorite fantasy franchise after The Lord of the Rings (obviously), Fullmetal Alchemist, and Kara no Kyoukai.
3. What three movies are you looking forward to most this year?
4. What sport do you dislike the most and why? (not understanding it is not really a reasonable answer. Sorry.)
Of the main sports, it would be NASCAR, although I don't really count it as a sport. Sorry NASCAR fans, it is just some guys going around in a circle so that rednecks can watch it and get drunk.
5. Do you use Pandora Radio? If you do, what are your favorite stations to listen to?
No, I only listened to it once and that was from someone else's computer.
6. What Internet browser do you use?
Until about 6 months ago I used Explorer, but now that Explorer does not work with Blogger, I use a combination of Google Chrome and Firefox depending on what I am trying to do.
7. Opinion on popcorn.
When done right, I love it!
8. Recall something kind or thoughtful someone outside your family did or said to you that made a lasting impression with you; say a quick thank you and then privately think about how you could do something similar to someone else.
Honestly, I cannot think of anything specific.
Now for my questions:
What is your favorite movie/TV/anime/video game soundtrack (and no, musicals do not count)?
What are your opinions on the supposed "classic" films such as The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. If you have not seen any of them, do you ever plan to watch them?
What is your opinion of anime?
What is your favorite anime? (if you have not seen anime, what is your favorite animated series)
I tag who ever wants to answer the questions.
If you want to contact us or have any questions please send an e-mail to johnstarslayer@gmail.com.

"Johnny B. Goode" by John Berry. Also I really like the version used in Back to the Future.

Harrison Ford!
