The Cultural Questionnaire.

What’s your favorite line from a movie?

‘Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!’

Which movie do you love but would be embarrassed to talk about in a serious, intellectual conversation?

There are plenty of dumb movies I love (see above), but it’s not something I tend to be embarrassed about.

The tune of the moment?

O.V. Wright’s Let’s Straighten It Out. Or Don’t Ask Why, by My Bloody Valentine.

Name a museum where you’d be happy to be locked in for the night?

The Museum Of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo.

The three books you’d take with you for a very, very, very long 100% environmentally friendly trip overseas?

• Carl Sagan’s Cosmos.
• David Cavanagh’s My Magpie Eyes Are Hungry For The Prize.
• A nice fat James Ellroy book.

You can give two “cultural items” (be it a book, a painting, a movie, a record or anything else), one to the person you like the most, one to the person that bores you the most. What would these two items be?

The Complete Miles Davis On Columbia, for both.

What painting would you steal if you could magically become invisible for a few hours?

In The Hold, by David Bomberg. Though it might be quite difficult to hide. Or carry, for that matter.

Which artist, alive or not, in any given field, would you love to party with for a wild, wild night?

The young Julian Cope. Or perhaps the young Kimberley Deal.
