fav ace attorney character?

Well, I mean, there's probably not a single one of these characters I couldn't live without

It's hard to narrow down to just one

Any movie recommendations? I need to find more stuff to watch haha

Thanks for the input. (Note that this list is incomplete – more movies I haven't watched yet are in the pending and currently unwatched sections of my "Watching" tag)

Favorite films

These are in order from favorite to least favorite. I would probably watch them again if given a chance, but there's a lot that I find unappealing even now. (The first one is only the second-favorite because it was my introduction to the Sixties, and a very interesting entry point.)

1. The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

2. The Day of the Dolphin (2003)

3. A Man Escaped (1956)

4. The Ninth Configuration (1980)

5. Rear Window (1954)

6. The Searchers (1956)

7. The Day of the Rope (1964)

8. The Birds (1963)

Favorite TV shows

1. Twin Peaks (David Lynch, 1990–91)

2. The Outer Limits (X-Files, 1994–2002)

3. The Invaders (David E. O'Neill, 1965–66)

4. Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me (David Lynch, 1992)

5. The X-Files (1994–2002)

6. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1994)

7. Twin Peaks – the Return (David Lynch, 2017)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit – film about (sort of) a wacky stunt double (1951)

Yojimbo – film about (sort of) a wacky stunt double, in a post-WWII era where there's a lot of weird, paranoid math professors

(Some of these might not be technically movies or TV but are still sort of movies or TV, e.g. "film." Or "sort of" movies or TV, e.g. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.)

I guess it makes sense that this list is dominated by TV, since I'm really into TV right now.

Are you more of a builder or redstoner when playing Minecraft?

Neither!

My actual favorite game mode is 1.15 Survival, which allows the world generation to build much bigger, more natural-looking biomes (and is also my least favorite in every way besides being the most boring to play)

Important question: Are you a sword, bow, or knife person?

Knife, I don't have the strength (or even the inclination) to be a sword user

Heyo Frank. Random question but do you like Coldplay? Any favorite songs or albums? Any least favorite? I really like 'em and I like to hear other people's opinions :O

I haven't listened to Coldplay in many years so I really have no opinions

Hi Frank! I was wondering, do you have a dream pet?

The thing that would actually happen if I had a pet in real life is that it would turn into a giant rat. It's a dream because I've read a lot of sci-fi/speculative fiction and that is the standard fantasy solution to creating life.

If you ever tried to make a conlang, what would it be?

I have wanted to make a conlang. I'd be interested in discussing this idea more with you directly?
