The Giver, The Amber Spyglass (From the The Golden Compass trilogy), and Ender's Game.

28/M/CA/"It's complicated"

2. If money wasn't a problem, what would you do with the next 5 years of your life? Where would you be at age 45 in this same scenario? (paint a picture for me) (6 sentences max)

Psych and anthro grad school OR studying chimps somewhere OR at some Buddhist temple sitting and living a very simple life. At age 45, if money wasn't a problem, I can see myself teaching, writing books, being a dad, playing games with my wife. It's actually the same life I imagine without mounds of money.

3. What 3 books and/or movies had the most impact on your life? (one line)

Desmond Morris: The Naked Ape and Alan Watts: The Wisdom of Insecurity together they changed my outlook on life.

4. Do you believe in God? Why/why not? (2 sentences max)

Not in the personal God. I don't see any convincing evidence for it and think the idea generally robs the universe of magic and awe.

5. Pretend you had to film a documentary. What would it be on? Doesn't have to be an area of your current expertise. (2 sentences, include title)

The Evolution of Flirting - a comparison of mating strategies between animals and people with side-by-side video of courtship, mating, and post-coital interaction, narrated by Desmond Morris.

I would hole up in the 'Dam and spend my days reading, writing, feeding ducks, and having "coffee"; I would also visit my favorite cousins in Ireland of whom I haven't seen for 8 years. At the age of 45, I'd like to have a nice apartment in a nice city with a nice circle of eccentric, intellectual colleagues.
3. What 3 books and/or movies had the most impact on your life? (one line)
The White Mountains trilogy, Ender's Game series, The Giver, Harry Potter series, Rebecca.

2. If money wasn't a problem, what would you do with the next 5 years of your life? Where would you be at age 45 in this same scenario? (paint a picture for me)

I just want to dick around on my computer, go bowling, maybe find a chick I can game and bowl with. I'm not interested in doing much.

3. What 3 books and/or movies had the most impact on your life?

Book: The Bible, an atheist's greatest weapon against christianity.

4. Do you believe in God? Why/why not?

No. Because a magical sky fairy is a stupid and totally unsubstantiated thing to believe in.

5. Pretend you had to film a documentary. What would it be on? Doesn't have to be an area of your current expertise.

Bleh. I'll do this one later.

[Mort Belfry]

1. Age/Sex/Location/Status

24, male, New Zealand, single

2. If money wasn't a problem, what would you do with the next 5 years of your life? Where would you be at age 45 in this same scenario?

Travel the world, then buy a mansion, lure a twenty-something there and never leave.

I will be dead before 45.

3. What 3 books and/or movies had the most impact on your life?

Impact is a strong word, and I'm much too self centred. Also my life seems to be nothing more than going to work, watching TV and writing. I don't know what books or movies to blame that on.

But my three favourite literary works are probably, Hamlet, Richard III and Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.

Possible TV shows that have had an impact, Black Books, Curb your Enthusiasm, South Park. I know that's not in the question and I don't care.

4. Do you believe in God? Why/why not?

Nah. Hard to explain in two sentences. But I find it impossible to believe that an infinite perfect god could make any physical repurcussions like inventing a bunch of planets and putting people on at least one. What imperfection in himself made create him anything at all? Boredom?

5. Pretend you had to film a documentary. What would it be on? Doesn't have to be an area of your current expertise.

Pirates the Eighth Click.
After Jocks, Nerds, Emos and Drama Students another click has appeared in our public schools, that of the Pirates. They harrass other students for their doubloons, kidnap wenches for extortion, and say "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" in inappropriate situations.

1. Age/Sex/Location/Status (single, married) (one line)
Unmarried college age male in what is still the best country ever.

2. If money wasn't a problem, what would you do with the next 5 years of your life? Where would you be at age 45 in this same scenario? (paint a picture for me) (6 sentences max)
I would travel around the world, seeing everything worth seeing, doing everything worth doing, supporting dissidents in totalitarian countries, then if I get bored with Earth I'd charter an expedition to another solar system and stay in cryofreeze until something interesting happens.

At 45 I would be dead, climbing in Nepal, getting cybernetic implants, or in cryofreeze.

Unfortunately, money is a problem.

3. What 3 books and/or movies had the most impact on your life? (one line)
Strategy by H. Liddel Hart, the Bourne movies, and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex even though it's not a movie.

4. Do you believe in God? Why/why not?(2 sentences max)
No.

5. Pretend you had to film a documentary. What would it be on? Doesn't have to be an area of your current expertise. (2 sentences, include title)
I guess maybe a documentary about the Great Game, or advanced robotics, or Scythians, or the composition of nearby planets. Either way I'd call it Romancing the Tiger Within: A Guide to Intermediate Sensuality.
