Not 72, not 74.

Vogue Magazine produces a semi-regular video feature called 73 Questions. Name cat breeds with Taylor Swift. Hula Hoop with Lupita N'Yongo. Play ping pong with Daniel Radcliffe. Trampoline with Reese Witherspoon. Stretch with Amy Adams.

"It was so good that even Jay-Z raved about it" is an amazing statement about a birthday cake.

I was enjoying being impressed by Daniel Radcliffe until he said he preferred puppies to kittens and I was almost like you're dead to me Radcliffe, but then he said his spirit animal was a wolf with a crossbow and we were cool again.

I liked Taylor Swift's bored- and rehearsed-sounding "I'm a very spontaneous person." It was like a meta meta critique of the process.

There were quite a few April Ludgate moments in the Taylor Swift interview, actually.

I watched part of one and found it strangely but deeply uncomfortable. So rapid fire that I barely had time to process the question before the answer came. Vogue, we didn't actually need someone to disrupt conversation as a concept.

I always found Sarah Jessica Parker's 73 Questions pretty charming.

Taylor did very well on the cat breed question and I believe that should do even better.

Why, yes, I clicked on that one because it was cat related. Why do you ask?

Not only did he prefer puppies, but he asked 'who says kittens?!' in such a judgy tone of voice. He gets extra points for that.

Oh my god Radcliffe's ping pong experience made me so anxious

Actually this whole concept is tremendously stressful for some reason

This reminds me of Radiolab, in that it's so overproduced and kind of pretends it's not.

Man. Taylor Swift's house, for someone who seems so deliberate about her clothes and appearance and style generally, is fugly.

It would be great if they could get someone to ask the questions in a less obviously artificial way.

Rehearsed though they may be, I do like these a lot. It seems like there are always a couple of questions that the subjects weren't rehearsed on, though.

Lil' Spoon. That's kind of adorable.

My absolute favourite one is the Nicole Kidman video. She just happens to float around her alpaca farm in Australia wearing a dress that costs more than I'll ever earn in a lifetime. It is so absurd and wonderful - especially because at one point I actually begin to feel sorry for her despite the alpacas and the white dress.
