Saw it... Had to do it...

The Movie Meme!
I love movies.
I'm a movie buff... so sue me.


1. What movie have you seen the most time in the theater? How many times?
"Iron Man"
Three times. If I had more cash flow it would have been more

2. What was the last movie you walked out of in the theater?
"You don't mess with the Zohan"
I've been told I'm too critical of a fart film. I blame myself for falling for the fact that I wanted to watch a moron play an Israeli Mossad agent,\.

3. What is the first movie you remember seeing in a theater?
"The Little Mermaid" 1989 I had just turned five.
There is a family legend that when Ursula came out of her cave I was so scared I levitated into my mother's lap. Odd that nowadays she's one of my favorite villains.

4. What is your favorite movie soundtrack?
"Pulp Fiction"

5. Have you ever dressed up as a movie character for Halloween Purim? If so, who?
I dressed up as TV characters more than Movies. Power Rangers, Plenteers, Spike from BtVS... there have been more.

6. What was the first R-rated movie you ever saw? Were you allowed or did you sneak?
I never knew there was such a thing until I was 13... I'm fairly sure I'd seen sex and violence before I was at that "tender" age.

7. Star Wars (orig. trilogy) or Lord of the Rings?
Different eras.
Can't compare.
Though the poster of Aragorn on my wall is fairly incriminating evidence of which one I really liked.

8. Pacino or DeNiro?
Both of them in "Heat".

9. Titanic...did it suck or was it great?
It was great.
C'mon it was a great work of craft. Calling it art is not true. And it deserved every Oscar, since those are for excellent works of Craft and not Art. You want works of Art go to Canne, Tribeka, Berlin, Sundance and the rest of those festivals.

10. What's your take on Cassavetes?
A bit weird. Not really my taste, but he's certainly excellent.

11. Favorite John Hughes character?
Lisa from "Weird Science"

12. What movie gives you a boner (or makes you tingle)?
"Gia"

13. What movie always makes you cry like the big puss you are?
Ummmmmmmm... this is a trick question because I cried at the end of "Dragonheart"... and that's a really crap movie.

14. What's the furthest you've ever gotten in a movie theater? (i.e, second base...)
I don't do that sort of thing in movie theaters.
Dude, could you be sleazier.
Eww.

15. Speaking of sports metaphors, what's your favorite sports movie?
"Bull Durham"
Probably the only sports movie I can stand and that's only because of Ms. Sarandon *gah*

16. (a) Favorite... teen movie?
"Clueless"
Shut Up.

(b)...Quentin Tarantino movie?
"Reservoir Dogs"
Oh, Mr. Pink.

(c)...Bill Murray movie?
"Ghost Busters" and "Ground Hod Day"

(d)...romantic comedy?
"When Harry Met Sally"
If only for the "orgasm"

(e)...gangster movie?
"Lock, Strok and Two Smoking Barrels"

(f)...horror movie?
"Psycho"
*cringes*

(g)...made for TV movie?
o_O
*blank*
I dunno.

(h)...director?
Tim Burton

(i)...drug movie?
"Wonder Boys".

17. What movie have you seen already but will never, ever, ever watch again?
So many! Let me see. All three Star Wars prequels.
Yes, they sucked that hard.

18. What movie are you embarrassed to really like?
"Aeon Flux"

19. What movie should be remade asap?
"Starship Troopers"
Because they really, really didn't get it.

20. What the fuck happened to (insert answer)? He used to be so damn funny!
Billie Crystal.

21. For the love of everything that's sacred, please someone stop (insert answer) from making another movie!
Brett Ratner.
So many bad things.

22. What movie do all your friends love but you think is whatevs?
I dunno. I have eclectic taste and so do many of my friends. Lots of times we disagree of movies. It's finding a movie we all like that's difficult.

23. What movie do you love but all your friends think is whatevs?
Same as above.

24. If you could hump/date/marry any movie character, who would it be?
See that doesn't really happen with me. The only time I remember wanting to actually be with a character is when I read books! In movies all the information is siphoned directly into my brain and whatever crush i have on a character pretty much dissipates.
But I always wondered what it would be like to be a... Pirate, savvy?

25. Best...movie....ever?
"Die Hard"

26. Book you wish would be made into a movie, and who would direct it?
"American Gods", though it would probably wok better as an epic mini-series, directed by either Tim Burton or Guillermo Del Toro.
But a story I'd love to see unfold in front of my eyes is Sarazine by Balzak and directed by Neil Jordan (if it were to be in English) and Francois Ozon (if it were to be in French).

Blimey, forgot all about Weird Science and how much that show rocked! *sigh* they just don't make TV like this anymore...

And dude, I love both "American Gods" and Tim Burton to bits, but do you think that's a combination that would work? I can see Burton doing Coraline, and *maybe* The Sandman (but only if he promises not to cast Helena Bonham Carter as Death), but somehow American Gods... It's like Burton's movies are about bringing the ordinary to the fantastic, while American Gods brings the fantastic to the ordinary, you know?

Now, if Burton, Gaiman, and as an added bonus - Joss, decided to sit together and create a new movie from scratch...

We've had this conversation before... and I agree whole heartedly!

I now have an added requirement - Neil Patrick Harris has to play in it!

Robert's Al's bitch.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

In what way?

[aesiron.livejournal.com]

I just think he's a better actor and has more presence.

Plus, he's about fifteen times hotter.

My 24 is Jareth, the Goblin king. Though I wouldn't marry him. He's mean, but sexy.

Ooooooh, yes.
I totally get the attraction.
