Sunday Seven - Episode 157

Tag: Sunday SevenPatrick @ 1:13 pm

Last weekend, if you missed it, there were two editions of the Sunday Seven. Both were part of the Arch-a-thon, a special weekend event I held for a good friend of mine here in Charleston who is very soon to be a good friend way out in California. If you missed the details on that, click here for the details.

This week, we’re back to one set of questions. And this week, the topic is movie gadgets that we wish we could actually own and use. Here’s one list of 10 great gadgets that it’d be cool to possess. Use that one as a starting point if you need it, and then go from there.

Here is this week’s “Sunday Seven” question. Either answer in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your blog in which you answer the questions. A general link to your blog cannot count. Enjoy!

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Name seven cool movie gadgets you’d like to own.

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.) You may include this link in the URL space when leaving your comment, or in the comment itself. As long as it’s there in one spot or the other.

My Answers:
1. The Magic Remote Control (from Click) - How awesome would it be to freeze everything when you need to or fast forward to see what happens next
2. Cloaking Device (from Predator) - Yeah, there are plenty of times when I wish I could be invisible. (Or more invisible than I already am!)
3. Phaser (from Star Trek movies) - Okay, I’ll admit that I’d keep mine on Stun…but that would still be cool!
4. Neuralizer (from Men in Black) - One corny joke too many? I’ll make you forget I ever said it!
5. Holodeck (from Star Trek movies) - So I could program any location, complete with people of my own choosing to spend time with whenever I wanted? I may never walk out of there!
6. Memory Recorder/Player (from Brainstorm) - I’ve always thought this was one of the coolest devices ever invented, but it almost requires an invasion of privacy to really experience something new.
7. Transporter (from Star Trek movies) - So I hit a few buttons and in a matter of seconds I could “beam over” to any location from any location? I’m so there!

    1. I’m definitely with you on the transporter.
    2. Sometimes I think it would be cool to have a palanthir from LOTR to be able to see other places. But all the magic is potentially dangerous/dark, so maybe not.
    3. Time machine - H.G. Wells or some other version from numerous movies. How about the Delorean from Back to the Future?
    4. Light Saber from Star Wars - they’re just too cool, every self-respecting universe should have them.
    5. The fallout shelter from Gleaming the Cube - just the coolest bedroom ever - or the one from Blast from the Past - totally isolated self-sustaining existence - oddly appealing - but having those stock certificates and baseball cards when you get out would be the icing on the cake. :)
    6. Wall-E - who wouldn’t want that robot as a friend?
    7. Not a gadget, per se, but to be able to shape shift like the Lakota in Thunderheart is also appealing - again, if you can avoid being a witch to be able to do it.

    I know I’m nearly a week behind, but you might appreciate the answers! Go to http://traislinge.blogspot.com/2008/08/last-sundays-meme-sunday-seven-episode.html. Let me know if I need to change #2 as that is not a movie gadget and #7 as it is not from the movies but the books.
