Poll
Question:
Are you a Phantom of the Opera fan?
Option 1: Yes
Option 2: No
Ok, I've been thinking about making a everything poll for ages. And here it is! Basically, I will ask a random question, and you lot vote, I will change the subject every time I can be bothered. First up, we have SHERLOCK! ;D
I obviously shall vote yes, and the Sherlock things I like are, the Robert Downy Junior films, and the tv series. :)
Are you a fan of Sherlock?
Yes-8
No-4
Can you Dance?
Yes -4
No -6
Sort of -3
Well, I've seen all of BBC's Sherlock, I'm watching Elementary with my sister (we haven't watched it in awhile, but that's mainly because we haven't had the time), and I've seen both RDJ movies, although I didn't really like the first one. The second was fine, but I like the TV shows more than the movies.
I've watched a bit of it, its alright. Seen the trailers and stuff, though I definitely wouldn't call myself a fan.
I voted no, but that is only because I've never seen any of the show, and the book I read terrified me. ::) So...no offense. :)
I'm a Sherlock Holms fan! But I'v only read the books and seen the Sherlock Holms with Jeremy Brett.

i'm the same way, I don't really like Sherlock.
I love Sherlock Holmes because he is AWESOME!!!!
;D *laughs evilly*
double post yes, but its my topic! :P
Ok, new question, can you dance. I can!!!! 8)
Um, define "dance." Do you mean "Can you dance?" as in being able to dance well, or something like swing dancing or learning moves for a musical?
The only dancing I've ever done was Civil war dancing. That was FUN!
How 'bout this, Rach? You put an "ish" vote up there on the poll. Or a "sort of" option. 'Cause I can sorta dance, but not really.

That would be great!
I have granted your wish.
I voted "yes", just cuz. ;D I don't dance gracefully, I prefer liquid and robot Dupstep. And I can Break a bit.
Oooooooooooooooo, Shade, I never had you down as a dancer. ;)
I am currently taking a simple jazz and lyrical dance class (Simple meaning beginner) and I am quite good at Skate dancing. Like ice skating except with Roller skates. I can do full revolution jumps and everything so I would definitely count that as dancing.
Cool, I can roller skate a bit, but I haven't had any skates in ages. :-\
I fish with my hands, I never really liked fishing polls. So I used my hands, I got lots of fish that way.
Having not gone fish much I can't really vote. I would probably enjoy it though.
I hate fishing, my dad, and little brothers love it. ::)
I think fishing is cool, but I personally don't enjoy it. I can't bring myself to kill them, even though I know that once they're out of the water it's less painful to end their life than to make them suffer. (The one fish I've caught I wanted to release, but my brother couldn't get the hook out before it'd lost too much blood. Let's just say that it kinda scarred me. And that was only last summer!)
I've fished catch and release a few times. Not recently- Only as a young kid, when I wasn't really concious of the pain I was inflicting. No offense towards fishers, I hope.
Do I like fishing? YES!
It's ok, so I said yes

Urg, that's horrible, my dad's an expert fisher, and gets the hooks out almost immediately.
I've caught and killed too many things to care any more about that stuff.
Your mean, but then again, if I was allowed to hint, I probably would. If I was brave enough, (And if was still legal) I would have liked to go fox hunting.
Mean? I am simply stating a fact.
I guess I'm mean as well. :P
Touche

Oi!
Oi, what?
And I'm changing the poll, fishing wins with 8 votes to 7
...I am a fox.
Well, you're doomed. ;D
The poll hasn't ended?

Soon to be a sad, small, scrap of a tail, hanging from the roof of the hunter's dwelling...
;D
No, it'll be hanging over the fire place! ;D
Okay, so, I've not technically seen A Knight's Tale, or at least not the whole thing. I've seen bits and pieces of it (mainly the jousting scene), but have never caught the beginning or the end. (At least, I don't THINK I've seen the end. For all I know, I could've. My mom likes that movie and will usually watch it when it's on, but I'm never around when she starts it. ::))
What I'm trying to say here is, could you make an "I've seen a little of it." option? 'Cause I don't technically fit into either answer. :P
I made you a little voting option. ::)
Thankee kindly, ma'am. ;D
Your welcome dearest! 8)
Yeah, I've seen both jousting scenes, and part of the feast scene. Tha's 'bout it.
Never zeen it. (Unlezz ah juzt cannae remember it, in vhich caze ah moight 'ave!)
Only one person has seen it.

And I'm that only person. Come on people, I love that film!!!

Nope!

You are trying to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen! ;D ;D ;D
TO THE PAIN!
Have fun storming the castle!
Is this a kissing story?
That movie has some of the best quotes.
"You've heard of Aristotle, Socrates, Plato?"
"Yes."
"Morons."
"Never cross lines with a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha-" *flop.
"Let me explain...no there is no time, let me sum up." That film is
Legendary! And the duelling scenes are brilliant!!!!
INCONCEIVABLE!
"I'm on the brute squad"
"You are the brute squad!"
"Thank you so much for reminding me of such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice in it, why don't ya? We're closed!"
Zae...Vot iz ziz vone aboot again?
The movie: Princess Bride.
Ah mean, vot iz ze movie aboot?
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT?!
Well, to avoid spoilers, a country girl falls in love but they are too poor, so he goes off and is apparently killed, she is brought off to marry a prince she doesn't want to marry. Then, stuff happens and more stuff. It's based on a book, and is probably one of the best movies I've seen.
Wow, don't get too detailed with us! JK :D

I know, but I don't want to spoil it.
"I think you're bluffing."
"That's possible. . . pig."
"...I might be bluffing, I don't even have the strength to stand. But then again, I might have the strength." (dramatic music)
"Drop, your, sword!"
I seem to be the only one who has not seen it.
You poor human being!!! You must watch it!!!!!

Apples! Fuji apples, Granny smith apples, etc.
I've seen some 6 inches in diameter!
I like apples.
I really only like Granny Smith apples and applesauce, but I guess you could call that a yes. ;)
I will only eat green apples, like Granny Smiths. 8)
Yeah, I haven't got anything against apples so I voted yes. (Pears are an entirely different matter...)

What is a Granny Smith apple? Is it like an old apple?
Wow. No, it's a type of apple, green and average in size. Not sure why it's called a Granny Smith :P

Red pears. . . MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Oh, dandy, we've got a crowd of apple-lovers.
You're the one who voted 'no', aren't you?

Cause they were first grown by Granny Smith

Ach...
Well, I like it! I've seen the 2012 movie (or is it 2013? Meh, whatever.) and own the 25th Anniversary soundtrack (the one with Nick Jonas as Marius and Rosalind James as Eponine.). Out of the three versions I've heard (10th, 25th, and the movie), I think I like the 25th the most. Although, I like Empty Chairs at Empty Tables from the movie more than from the 25th.
Ach, again...

My sister owns the film. I've seen the stage show. My sister owns one of the anniversary sound tracks. The one with Nick Jonas, and Sam Barks. So yeah, I like it. ;D
(though I hate Nick Jonas as Marius. He's terrible. He looks like he's got trapped wind all the time he's singing ::))
(http://media.screened.com/uploads/2/27327/661161-09_nick_jonas.png)
I mean, look at him. He either looks like he's got trapped wind, or he's confused. Eddie Redmayne did way better in the film, singing empty chairs at empty tables.

I haven't seen the live production, I just own the soundtrack, but he sounds pretty good if you try not to picture facial expressions and such. ;) Actually, my favourite Javert and Valjean are also in the version I own. Unfortunately, I can't ever seem to FIND my version on YouTube, so I can't SHOW you it, but they sing very well. Bring Him Home sounds very nice. ^-^
My favourite Fantine is either the woman in the 10th Anniversary or Anne Hathaway.
Never seen it

Okee-dokey, that's it! I'm gonna go rummage through YouTube and find the version I own if it kills me! You MUST hear that version! *Wipes tear from eye* It's so beautiful.
Not seen it. Nothing against it- Just don't know that I care for it, either.
Ok, with all the Les Misrelabes talk, I wanna brag. Alfie Boe is my cousin!

Seriously?
@Rach: Ah! I was wrong. I was thinking of Gareth Gates, not Nick Jonas. This is the guy I was talking about (with Rosalind James, my favourite Eponine!):
This is Rosalind James' version of On My Own:
Also, if you wanna listen to the soundtrack I own, I FINALLY FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE!!
Les Misérables Live! (The 2010 Cast Album) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ian-lMuj8Q&list=PLNXSK9RU25sixWgA2WFWeP8z1F4YUom16)
I was looking for the 25th Anniversary, not the 2010 Cast Album. ::) But, yeah, it's pretty much my favourite version of Les Mis ever. I don't really like the Fantine in this one, but Marius, Eponine, Cosette, Valjean, Javert, Enjolras... Gah! They're awesome!
Poll change, please!
Aye, pleaze!
No more misery. . .

I'm not watching that.

Fine, I'll change the poll.
Are you a Les Miserable Fan?
Yes -3 (27.3%)
No -8 (72.7%)
@Rainshadow. Seriously!
The Phaaaaannnnntom of the Opera is here.... Inside my mind.
A tie, so far.
...And I'm deciding the balance.
I don't really like Opera.
I've never seen it or heard the songs, but I'm the third clarinet for Selections From the Phantom of the Opera in band. Pretty, from what I know.
I liked the movie. It was kinda cool. I suppose. I put "yes".
I like the movie so I put yes.
Phantom of the Opera is one of my fave musicals! :D I missed out on voting the Les Miserables poll.
