Author	Topic: Which Famous Celebrities WOULD YOU LIKE to Meet?

Ken S Oscar® Winner	The other thread - and especially Marian's recent post in it - gave me this idea. If you had a time machine which would bring your favorite Celebrity (or Celebrities) to you - WHICH ONE(S) WOULD YOU PICK ? I could finally have a dream meeting with John Williams, Jennifer Connelly, Bram Stoker, and Jeron Moore... and possibly even Jack the Ripper. KEN

Ken S Oscar® Winner	Jeron, you meticulous b****rd you... I should probably be more precise, and tell that the machine which can bring the Celebrities to you, can ALSO be used for time travel IF NEEDED... Got it, Jeron ? But, Jeron, I wouldn't mind seeing you as a five years old toddler - it would certainly give a more thorough view on you, my funny friend. KEN

James Oscar® Winner	I'd like to meet Charles Dodgson just to straighten out for good all this controversy surrounding his life. Then I'd like to visit Stuart Collingwood and slap him around a bit for deliberately deceiving so many people. I have no doubts that I will meet Mr. Moore at some point, so I won't include him. Kirk

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Moses, King David, and the Apostle Paul. I'd take 'em all to the best Jewish deli in town, and we'd talk for hours over hot pastrami sandwiches and egg creams!

Hasta Oscar® Winner	Yes, I'd like to meet Jennifer Connelly as well... But not in public, no... 1on1, late at night, in a huge house where there isn't a soul for miles... And maybe some wine? Heaven.

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	"I would like to met Sonrisal Colesterol." So would I, Andre! I looked up his only son, Jorge, who currently resides at the Senior Center in Altoona, PA, and we had a wonderful lunch together. Jorge talked about his dad the entire time, and he even showed me Sonrisal's original bamboo theremin! He has it in his room! At age 91, Jorge tries to play that thing every day, but still hasn't found out how to work it. What a mystery...

Steve Hughes Oscar® Winner	Next tuesday I'll be meeting John Landis, David Naughton and Griffin Dunne to film a news story for work about the 21st Anniversary of American Werewolf In London. We're taking them around the locations used in the movie. I can't wait -- it's one of my all-time favourite films. I can't believe I'll be directing John Landis! "Daddy cool"

Kevin Oscar® Winner	Dan, Are you saying by that photo of Mr. Moore that he's been spending too much time in the sun on the beaches instead of in the classrooms? Kevin

MWRuger Oscar® Winner	I don't know if I would want to meet any of them in real life. You couldn’t really know them unless you spent a fair amount of time with them. Like maybe a couple of months. I think it would be too illusion shattering. I once met Harlan Ellison and he cured me of wanting to meet my favorite authors or composers in real life. I still respect his work, but he was such a jerk that I really didn't like him as a person. I have heard the same thing about Jimmy Buffet, but since that was a 60 minutes or 20/20 piece it could be wrong. I guess I would prefer to preserve the illusion that they are all really nice guys and gals. You couldn’t really know them unless you spent a fair amount of time with them. Like maybe a couple of months. There are some historical figures it would be interesting to talk to, but I suspect that it would raise far more questions than it would answer. After all, we would have almost zero cultural references with somebody like Julius Cesear, Augustus, Ghengis Khan and also, they would only know what they know at the moment you meet them. If you met Augustus in his first year as princeps you wouldn’t be meeting the man who reluctantly accepted Tiberius as heir after all his other choices died off. I also suspect that a historian might know more about them they know themselves. After all, people don’t study their own lives, they are too busy living. It reminds me of the story about James Doohan who was quizzed about incidents in certain classic Trek episodes and he had no idea what he had done or the lines he had said. If you asked Lincoln about his famous quote about General Grant, he might not even remember making it. Washington certainly won’t remember every tempestuous cabinet meeting with Hamilton and Jefferson. But historians do. We have had the chance to examine the correspondence of all these gentlemen, something Washington has never had. We would probably end up telling him more about some of the events of his administration then he knows.

Kevin Oscar® Winner	I like that scene in one of the ST:TNG episodes where Data is playing poker with Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking (and Newton accuses Hawking of cheating ). I'd have to say I'd love to discuss relativity with Einstein, planetary geology with Carl Sagan, flight dynamics with Orville and Wilbur Wright. I mean, I had a nice talk years ago with the first American in Space, John Glenn, so why not some other greats? Face it, most of the people I'd like to meet are science-types. Guess I'm not so hot to meet Hollywood types. Oh yeah, for MW: A friend of mine is friends with Ellison, and she agrees with you. The man is very "intense."

Timmer Oscar® Winner	A good point you make there MWRuger, reminds me of what John Barry said while talking with bass player John Taylor of Duran Duran, Taylor was a massive Bond fan, "He (Taylor) was talking about stuff I'd done and I couldn't remember any of it" said Barry!

Ken S Oscar® Winner	"I don't know if I would want to meet any of them in real life. You couldn’t really know them unless you spent a fair amount of time with them. Like maybe a couple of months. I think it would be too illusion shattering." Dear MWRuger, I've heard many people saying the exact same thing - and the irony is that I have LIVED IT, experienced it with some crazy adventures - and YET I'm always curious to get to know the people I admire more closely. Take a peek: http://pub25.ezboard.com/fewanspottingfrm5.showMessage?topicID=1096.topic I have been always interested to know why somebody is something - what makes him/her the way he/she is... I know this kind of procedure has its risks; sometimes the illusions really do brake - but in some cases the result can be totally the opposite; one's "blind" admiration will be pointed in a better, more realistic direction when knowing the "idol" more deeply - in more simple words, leading to a real friendship (...I admit, it's incredibly rare, but has happened even to me). - - And Jennie my dear, if you pay the ticket for me to fly from Finland to L.A. - I'd leave IMMEDIATELY KEN
