My (noncomprehensive) Bucket List

I don’t usually write memes, much less memes about my own death, but I’ll make an exception at my blogging buddy Sarah’s request. This time.

I’m supposed to come up with a list of activities I’d like to do before I “kick the bucket” aka die a grisly death. I assume that’s what it means because I never actually saw The Bucket List. I’m planning to watch The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby first to get in the mood.

Me being me, I decided to change the rules. Instead of just writing about any old thing to do before croaking, I’m going to compose my list entirely of activities ripped out of movies. This is a movie-based blog after all and I should also note that I’m ignoring the laws of physics, good taste, and proper etiquette.

On to my (noncomprehensive) Bucket List:

Sweet Ride

- Ride a hover board (Back to the Future Part 2)
Michael J. Fox stole a pink board from a little girl in the future and ever since I saw that I too have wanted to steal a pink hover board from a little girl in the future.

- Eat colorful gruel (Hook)
Food that colorful has to taste good. But does it give a growing boy all the minerals and vitamins he needs? Will it prevent any scurvy relapses?

"Nice to meet you Elsa, but I have a man-date with Matt"

- Visit Venice with Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)
I’m not proposing to take Dr. Elda Schneider’s place but I wouldn’t mind going on a pleasant man-date with Indy. I also wouldn’t be opposed to a gondola ride afterwards.

- Drape myself in velvet for one day (Seinfield)
I don’t particularly care for velvet but there must be a good reason why George Costanza wanted to wear it all day every day.

- Knock up Katherine Heigl and force her to marry me (Knocked Up)
Getting Katherine Hiegle to marry me does seem a bit far-fetched but it’s all part of my plan. If Katherine doesn’t work out then I would also accept Salma Hayek (Fools Rush In).

Consider yourself tagged if you want to write a movie-based Bucket List. But keep your mitts of Katherine and Salma – they’re both mine.

Yey!
Although I am not a man I can understand wanting a man-date with Indy. He rocks.

I wore crushed velvet in the early 90s. It is absolute heaven, highly recommend wrapping oneself in any kind of velvet.

While stealing a hoverboard from a young girl might be a little out of reach, stealing a segway from some guy in Florida is certainly doable.

I too have wanted to ride a hoverboard for the last 20 years. With all that science comes up with, they can't do that (or the speeder from Star Wars)? WTF?!? Ah, the simple joys in life. And by that I mean Salma Hayek.

I love your site. I think it has great content and information. I also think its original and cool. I was emailing you to let you know how much I like your site. I have a site of my own. Its dedicated to highly anticipated upcoming movies. Right now I am focused on The Dark Knight. I was wandering if it was possible to do a link exchange. I know my viewers would love a link to your site for all of your great content and I think your fans would love the additional information on The Dark Knight. I think it would benefit us both. I would really appreciate it. Thanks Daniel

Before I make my grisly exit, I'm going to need to:

1. Cut up a reasonably nice formal dress to create an angular pink nightmare (that clashes with my flaming red hair), wear it to the prom, and choose the shallow pretty rich boy over my sweet and wonderful best friend, Ducky.

2. Do a completely unrehearsed, spontaneous, and yet precisely choreographed dance routine (to a soundtrack written two decades in the future) with some dancers and waitstaff I just met at a resort in the Poconos.

3. Allow a pretentious professor whom I encounter on the street to completely make me over and teach me to lose my Cockney accent; then try to pass myself off as a duchess in English society.

Hoverboard all the way!

I'll steer clear from trapping Katherine or Salma into marriage, all yours. I just hope you don't mind if they whisk me away for the occasional extra-marital affair!

I'm going to have to bogart this idea for my site. Great post!
