Pop CultureThe books, movies, television shows and music of our generation. - Whatever that generation may be. Movie, music, book, and television trivia and commentary and much more.
I know a good idea when I see one, so I'm going to steal Redlass's word association games in books and adapt them to film/TV. First one: name the first ten names that come to mind when thinking of heroes and heroines. I'll post mine below to avoid influencing anyone else.
1. Indiana Jones
2. Luke Skywalker
3. Han Solo
4. James Bond
5. Forrest Gump
6. Dustin Hoffman's character in "Rain Man"
7. Shakespeare (in "SHakespeare in Love")
8. Frodo
9. Samwise Gamgee
10. Aragorn
Heroines:
1. Maria (in Sound of Music)
2. Queen Amidala (sigh)
3. Princess Leia
4. Eliza (in "My Fair Lady")
5. The star in "Moulin Rouge"
6. Princess Buttercup
7. Clarice (in "Silence of the Lambs")
8. Mulan
9. Beatrice (as portrayed by Emma Thompson in "Much Ado About Nothing")
10. Queen Eleanor (in "Lion in Winter")

I had a tough time getting to ten. I should have been thinking superheroes/superheroines. Then the list gets very different! (As it is, it's pretty obvious I'm a science fiction/space opera geek when it comes to movies.)
