Great choices! Scotland is amazing. You should definitely make the trip. I would definitely have the lightsaber from Star Wars and probably Han Solo’s blaster gun.

LOL you fell asleep through Lincoln? That’s a good movie. I think Judi Dench would make an excellent dinner guest. Great choice.

When I watched Lincoln, I wasn’t feeling too well which probably explained me falling asleep. If I was to watch it again, I’m certain I’d find it amazing.

Congrats on your award! Totally would have loved more Sarah Conor Chronicles, …every now and again I think about that cliffhanger and what could have been.

That show was unfairly cancelled. Definitely underrated. They were 10x better than the last three Terminator films that have come out. It might be unlikely but I hope it comes back one day, even if its a TV movie to resolve it, I think it deserves that based on that cliffhanger. The show was heading in a very interesting direction.
