A new Question.

Galveston's Daughter asked....

Jasper's favourite films? and... Ideal way to spend a Sunday?


I'll start with films. Jasper has issues with films, but for once, not in the way you might think. He mentions in the Christmas Outtake that he always falls asleep when he sits on the couch with Alice, and you will have all noticed that he falls asleep a lot anyway.

BUT, falling asleep during films isn't a new thing for him. He's always done it. It means that he hasn't seem many movies in their entirety. It's a running joke between him and Alice, and something the Cullen's have forgotten about, (for now, anyway).

That being said, there are some films he likes. Shawshank Redemption is one, and Road to Perdition is another. He's not as squeamish about blood and guts as you may imagine, but he doesn't like most war films because they tend to be horribly inaccurate. For example, Jasper fought in Somalia. Although Black Hawk Down was before his time, he has/had friends who were there. That sort of film is too close to home.

But, he does like historical war films like Bridge of the River Kwai and The Great Escape.

He hates action films. He thinks it's all bullshit. He knows what it's really like to jump off buildings and out of airplanes, he doesn't need to watch someone fake it.

He's not keen on horror. Not because it frightens him, (as if), he's spent too many years watching Emmett crap himself over bullshit horrors to take it seriously. Jasper is aware that he is a little cynical!

You are all aware that Jasper is a martial arts and hand to hand combat expert. He quite enjoys some of the older martial arts films, but he doesn't like the more modern efforts where the stunts aren't real.

If Jasper had to pick a favourite genre of films, he would probably pick gangster films. He is a typical man in that respect. He's read all the accompanying books for films like the Godfather trilogy, so it doesn't matter when he dozes off!

Jasper and Alice don't share the same taste in films. She likes chick flicks to relax to while she has a glass of wine and a doodle in her sketch pad. This has only encouraged Jasper's habit of falling asleep. There is nothing he finds more boring than a rom-com.

She did promise to watch The Lord of The Rings with him, though.  He knows the books really well as he read them a lot as a child and he asked her to prod him if he started to drop off. They haven't gotten around to it yet, though. The opportunity has never arisen!

I will answer the second question over the weekend. It has given me an idea for an outtake I would like to write concerning the first Sunday Jasper spent with Alice after he moved into the house.

So, bear with me!

Keep these questions coming!

Until next time...
