Take Your Pick

[David]

I enjoyed Ryan's old This Or That thread, but that was only about bands. How about a This Or That for any topic of your choice? I've included a few below. If you have others, please add!

1. Christmas fruitcake:
Unfairly maligned culinary treat or festive holiday crud?

2. Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings":
Visionary tripartite masterpiece or corny multiplex bombast?

3. Karl Rove:
Patriot or poopyhead?

4. Fleetwood Mac:
Corrosive blues-rock burners or melodic folk-rock popmeisters?

5. Beethoven:
Cosmic disruptive force or lightweight musical bumbler?

6. Display ad for Bertolucci's "Luna":
Sublime imitation of Bergman's "Persona" or sleazy pointless ripoff? (See below)

I love fruitcake. I do. If it's well made, they are exquisite and rich and are kind of expensive to put together. I like to eat them (the good quality ones, that is) and I also like to bake them. It's actually a very old culinary tradition. So, I'll take "this" for fruitcake.

the this or that thread hasn't been about bands since about page 25 of 250+

and fruitcake is vile
