I never go to see a film and hope it is going to be the same as what the creator of any book, graphic novel, film, or television series intended. There are a lot of cinema goers who don't read the graphic novels or other literature that films have been based on. People may not have grew up with a television series or seen the original movie. Therefore I believe that Hollywood and other film industries needs to attract those cinema goers with lots of explosions and special effects, for those who are todays mainstream teenagers, and 20+ who go most often to the cinema. The Plot cannot be too complicated, as a lot of people wouldn't understand. especially if they have not read the books or graphic novels. The director being the auteur adds his own creativity, so therefore the finished product is his not the original's to which was the director's inspiration. Best off just go and enjoy a film as though you had never read the book or graphic novel or even seen the original television series or film. Sometimes a book can be better than a film and sometimes the film better than a book, special effects bring films with dull plots to life.

What is your favorite musical instrument?
Submitted by Chicago Shadow.

My favorite musical instrument is the violin, I have always wanted to learn how to play one, I am inspired by the likes of Vanessa Mae and Nigel Kennedy. The sound makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. When I have finished University, and I have a good career, I want to buy a violin and learn to play it. I love classical music, so being able to play some music from classical artists would be a dream come true.

What is the birth order in your family? Do you think it has an affect on your personality?
Submitted by aynge.

I believe my personality is a combination of nature versus nurture. I have many interests that have not developed through the way I was brought up. I enjoy to Poetry, literature and Classical, New age, rock and folk music. I am   interested in Spirituality, Philosophy and Metaphysics.   I am interested in angels and crystal healing. I found out I was adopted when I was 7 years old. who I believed were my siblings were not adopted, my adoptive parents were their birth parents. It wedged a gap finding out I wasn't their sister. This had an impact on my growing up. I became shy and reserved, afraid my adoptive parents wouldn't want me if I got into trouble. Other things have moulded me into who I am. Relationships that have gone wrong.  When my adoptive mother died, the wedge between us siblings became like a Canyon. I moved to another neighbourhood. Met my daughter's father, he had a drink problem and became violent and I ended up having to move to a new town when pregnant to get away from this violent boyfriend who wanted to harm me and my unborn baby.  I  am strong willed and spirited and believe that with hard work I can keep to the path of destiny. I raise my daughter on my own she is almost 11 years old. four  years ago I went back to college to get the qualifications to get me into University. Now almost finished first year of University. I want to create a better future for my daughter. Since her birth I contacted my adoptive siblings and we get on, no falling out in 11 years. In the 11 years of raising my daughter I have became spiritual, not religious. I enjoy meditation and yoga. I am part of a Pagan group who gather for moots once a month although I follow angels as the energies not the gods or goddesses. I  am interested in being in tune with my energy; being connected to the universe via the Chakras. I love to read all kinds of novels and literature, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Dan Brown. Lord of the rings style fantasy books, etc I love films with both a good plot and mind blowing special effects.
