Stranded for an indefinite amount of time... say... on a Desert Island.... with no hope of new shipment of entertainment for a while. 3 movies, 3 books, 3 albums, and 3 television shows
Movies
- Sound of Music
- Pitch Perfect
- Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Books
- Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
- A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin
- Watchmen by Alan Moore
Albums
- Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
- 21 - Adele
- A compilation of Motown hits
Reasoning: Fleetwood Mac because of reasons. I mean 'Rumours' is just a great album, why not? Adele's '21' for something a bit less upbeat. I'll just listen to 'Someone Like You' and cry on my little island. The collection of Motown hits is for montage/singalong purposes. You can't help but sing and dance and be happy with Motown.
TV Shows
- 30 Rock
- Veronica Mars
- Arrested Development
Reasoning: All three of these shows would provide enough pop culture references for me to survive on a desert island away from humanity. I have rewatched all of these shows as well so I know they hold up on multiple viewings, even as the years go on (I'm looking at you Veronica Mars with your 2004 references to O-Town and Paris Hilton). Also my vernacular has been changed by these shows dramatically. I would walk around the island saying things like "What the what!?", "There's always money in the banana stand", and "Why do you insist on pissing me off?" to no one in particular.
Based on these picks, would you chance being stranded on an island with me? What would you pick?
