Kelt 09-23-2012 05:56 PM

Assuming electricity, given movie and music options;

I would bring my Kindle loaded with it's max of 900 or so books.

:cheesy:

Not sure what I'd do the second month.

:thinking:

always2late 09-23-2012 06:12 PM

Hey no fair! If Kelt can bring a Kindle, I wanna bring mine too! ;)

Kelt 09-23-2012 06:28 PM

Uh oh, just re-read the OP. Okay, one more time following the guide:

Books;
Complete works of Walt Whitman
Tao De Ching
Field guide for desert islands

Movies:
North by Northwest
BBC series - Life (the Attenborough version)
The Last Emperor

Music:
Dave Brubeck - Jazz Impressions of New York
General meditative;
Japanese flutes
Celtic guitar

I'm thinking the "Sounds of Ocean Waves" will be pretty much handled.

:theisland:

I guess we only get one, (I never read instructions well), make it the books. :)

Nomad 09-24-2012 08:39 PM

let's redefine
 
ok ok let's make it easy. choose 3 of everything - books, music, film or games.

also, an new development happens on your island. you're getting company! but you have to choose ONE PERSON from among the characters on Gilligan's Island. who will it be:

1st Mate Willy Gilligan
Skipper Jonas Grumby
Thurston Howell III
Eunice "Lovey" Wentworth Howell
Professor Roy Hinkley
Ginger Grant
Mary Anne Summers

choose your fate!

Martina 09-24-2012 08:53 PM

Lovey. I think she's kinky.

G Snap! 09-24-2012 09:08 PM

This may be an attempt to derail...

So here is my category - personal care product.
Lip balm, lip balm, lip balm, sunscreen, lip balm, lip balm, moisturizer, lip balm, a bar of soap, and a pack of wet ones or baby wipes.

Or not an attempt to derail.

I like the Lord of the Ring trilogy, the North and South trilogy, and all of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. (I gotta get Wind through the keyhole.)
Ok, that's more than 10. Ditch the north & south.
I could go without music as long as I had someone to talk to.
And I don't watch much tv, so I would rather have more books. So I add Harry Potter and Clive Barker's books of blood. Also my Cemetery Dance halloween short story book, as it's getting near that time...

Gráinne 09-24-2012 09:18 PM

Music CD's:

Marvin Gaye-Sexual Healing
Led Zepplin-Physical Graffiti
Pink Floyd-most anything, but especially Wish You Were Here

Books:

Complete Works of Langston Hughes
Ditto-e.e.cummings
Dostoyevsky-Crime and Punishment

Movies:

Vertigo
The Crying Game
Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind

And Ginger ;)

Kelt 09-24-2012 10:05 PM

Well, my first reaction would be to pick Ginger.. 'natch. ;)

However, I would probably have a lot of fun and invent useful things hanging out with the professor.

:theisland:

lusciouskiwi 09-24-2012 10:17 PM

Not sure about who I would pick from Gilligan's Island - have to go and revisit that. But books:

Brewer's Phase and Fable
Another Mother Tongue, Judy Grahn
An Angel at my table - complete autobiography, Janet Frame

will come back with movie and music choices :D

Jesse 09-24-2012 11:32 PM

1. Kindle with solar charger, complete with loads of survivor information including books, articles on edible plants, building emergency and long standing shelters, desalination... which would all be important in an island situation. Not to mention all of the other books that I have loaded on there.

2. Either the Professor for his inventive abilities, or Gilligan for his integrity and entertainment value. (As for choosing between Ginger and Mary Anne, my choice would be Maryann. Ginger was much too shallow acting for my tastes.) Come to think of it, I would likely choose Mary Anne over all of the others, I would not want to face the possibility of spending the rest of my days without female companionship.

3. My knife

No movies or games for me, but my dog has to be there.

Yup, I broke the rules, which is probably why I was sent to the island in the first place. :theisland:

Femmadian 09-06-2014 10:34 PM

Great choice of thread bump :-)
 
Hmmmm, interesting to think about and I loved reading everyone else's answers!

If we're going for desert island-specific choices and not favourites, then:


General Music (who buys actual CDs anymore?):
Dead Can Dance - for beautiful, haunting, and sometimes oddly calming music
Tchaikovsky - for an emotive, decadent Russian Romantic with wide range
Simon and Garfunkel - musical valium :)

Movies:
Equilibrium - for this scene and this scene (<--- spoilers - if you haven't seen it yet, do!). Think 1984 meets The Matrix.
The Hours - for the literary aspect and also it feels very much like a "woman's story" (in all the best ways). I love how delicately and kindly it treats its characters. Plus, that soundtrack is beautiful.
Away We Go - for a fun, fairly light pick-me-up


Books:
Wittgenstein's Mistress - David Markson
The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy
plus...
The Book of Longing - Leonard Cohen
OR
Blood, Marriage, Wine, and Glitter - S. Bear Bergman
OR
The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck
- can't decide between the last three :deepthoughts:

Character:
I've never actually seen Gilligan's Island, so... hmmm, based on the character descriptions via Wikipedia, I'm going to go with The Professor. He has a background in botany and was a science teacher, so he'd be a useful companion (plus, I could scratch off a botany/survivalist book from my list). I bet he's also a really interesting 2-am conversationalist. :-)
