Would you rather?

Would you rather...

• grab a hot dog w/ Margo Martindale in Iceland?
• soak in Iceland's geothermal Blue Lagoon w/ Michelle Yeoh?
• feed raccoons w/ Liev Schreiber?
• relax between reps w/ Lupita Nyong'o?
• referee an arm-wrestling match between Brie Larson & Jacob Tremblay?
• accompany Jessica Chastain to the fruit market?
• indulge Charles Melton in Matrix cosplay?
• visit Bulgaria with Maria Bakalova?
• take a swim in Capri, Italy with Eiza González?
• ...or think about Chester on Genera+ions with Justice Smith? (Seriously why aren't you watching that show? It's phenomenal. I'm going to be gutted if HBOMax cancels it)

Pictures are after the jump to help you decide. 

Welcome to Iceland. #hotdog

Bliss…. 💞

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Iceland was not intended to be a theme of this edition of "would you rather?" but it is a wonderful place to visit. Have been there thrice. Okay, carry on without Iceland...]

Whatchu talkin’ bout Willis?!

Americans visiting Iceland to eat hot dogs. The lack of class

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterCharo

Was in Iceland once before and yes, it's a really groovy place. Really want to go back.

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterRob

Michelle Yeoh. Always, Michelle Yeoh. She's magnificent. But, I would also hang with Margo Martindale, she's a hoot. FYI--Iceland is the most amazing place, but probably has the worst food on the planet, so you gotta do what you gotta do.

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterPam

Soooooo when we getting that Michelle yeoh Oscar nom that is so overdue? She was divine in crouching tiger

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterThankful4u

That pylsusinnep and remoulade on Margo’s hot dog looks a bit off putting to the less adventurous pallet who is accustomed to Heinz and French’s. Any foodies among our Iceland tourists who can report on the quality of the condiments?

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterJames

Who'd have thought so many of thefilmexperience readers would be loyal Iceland tourists.

When I went I ate fresh fish every night, wonderfully cooked and great value.

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterBJT

None of the above (for the first time).

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterWorking stiff

I've wanted to go to Iceland for years! One of my biggest travel bucket list items.

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterStephenM

Margo Martindale 100%

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterVolvagia

When in Iceland, eat the skyr cheesecake.

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterCash

That gif of Lupita really makes me want to see her in a fun comedy.

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterJoe G

I'll see what Chris Hemsworth is up to?

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterJaragon

Go out for some hot dogs with Margo Martindale, referee the Brie Larson/Jacob Tremblay arm-wrestling match, and spend some time swimming with Eiza Gonzalez.... oh yeah.

I would also like to hang out with Maria Bakalova as I would like to see the home of God's Favorite Champion in the current AEW TNT champion Miro... formerly known by his slave name in Meekmahan-land in Rusev who was never treated like a big deal no matter how much the people loved him and RUSEV DAY!!!!

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered Commenterthevoid99

I think I want to feed raccoons with Liev…

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered Commenterchoog

That GIF of Lupita... hypnotizing. Dayum.

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterTravis C

Not at all participating in that stupid ass Vanity Fair cosplay. They really got a tik tok “star” pretending to be Naomi Watts in Mulholland Drive.

August 5, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterRama

I want to be anywhere abroad... so Iceland it is!

And I wholeheartedly agree on Genera+ion! Everyone watch and HBO please renew it!

August 6, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterRyan T.

Iceland's Blue Lagoon with such an interesting actress and human being as Yeoh. Like, there's no contest. One of the places in my bucket list, and a person I admire.

August 6, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterJesus Alonso

on Bakalova... crossing fingers so she selects the right roles. Tremendously talented, but she's on this stage of "revelation" in which she will be drown in projects and most of them can potentially derrail her promising career...

I still think she should have won last year's LEAD Actress Oscar.

August 6, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterJesus Alonso

@Charo I imagine Margo Martindale is eating hot dogs from Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, a hot dog stand in Reykjavik that is actually quite famous. So not as classless as you might think.

The stand is famous enough to have its own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A6jarins_Beztu_Pylsur

August 6, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterAmory Blaine

They are all appealing - but what I would like to do right now is get a piano lesson from Chandler Massey.

August 6, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterBette Streep

Ugh, if Room existed and was made 15 years earlier we'd have Academy Award Nominee Julia Stiles.
