Movie meme


What movie have you seen the most times in the theater? How many times?

Honestly? Probably the Rocky Horror Picture Show, because I saw it nearly every weekend in the summer, back in high school.

What was the last movie you walked out of in the theater?

I can't remember walking out of a movie, but I'm sure I have; I've just repressed it.

What is the first movie you remember seeing in a theater?

Oh, God. Which came out first, Close Encounters or Star Wars? those are the first two movies I remember going to see in the theatre. I remember reading the opening scroll off A New Hope to my mother under my breath, hoping I wasn't bothering anyone. She never would wear her damn glasses.

What is your favorite movie soundtrack?

Stand By Me. It was my first real exposure to fifties pop tunes, which it turns out? I love.

Have you ever dressed up as a movie character for Halloween? If so, who?

Heh. Who haven't I dressed up as for Halloween? Princess Leia, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty... I had a princess fetish back in the seventies/eighties before Disney realised that was a marketing Goldmine. Mamau made me the most wonderful princess gowns.

What was the first R-rated movie you ever saw? Were you allowed or did you sneak?

I spent the night at a friend, Kim's, house; her parents were shall we say, less than involved? They let us watch "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" on cable, when it first came out. Oi. My mother would've had a heart attack.
Then in middle school my friend Stacie and I snuck into a Wil Wheaton horror movie. I don't remember the name, just that it was god-awful bad. Not scary, just horrible. I think it was a lovecraft story that was butchered beyond recognition, if I recall rightly.


Star Wars (orig. trilogy) or Lord of the Rings?

SW is part of who I am, a major component of my childhood memories. But, er.. LOTR is a masterpiece, from beginning to end.

Pacino or De Niro?

ugly gangsters, I'll pass on 'em both, thanks. Can I have Ray Liotta instead?

Titanic…did it suck or was it great?

Storyline sucked. But for a Titanic nut like me? It was amazing. I couldn't care less what was going on in the scenes, I was there to gawk at the dishes and the furniture.

What’s your take on Cassavetes?

Who's that? I recognise that name, I think from Rosemary's Baby.

Favorite John Hughes character?

Duckie Dale.

Which movie gives you a boner (or makes you tingle)?

What a question! But I still get tingles watching the dance with Mr. Darcy in the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice.
Elizabeth: "We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room."
Darcy: "This is no very striking resemblance of your own character, I'm sure. "
Nmissi- Swoon.

Which movie always makes you cry like the big puss you are?

I still cry at "Gone With The Wind" even though I've seen it a bluemillion times. Not the end, mind you, but when Melanie dies just before that. Oh, and the old Olivier "Wuthering Heights" makes me soppy, too.

What’s the furthest you’ve ever gotten in a movie theater? (i.e, second base…)

There is nothing remotely romantic or erotic about grubby chairs, sticky floors, and the overwhelming scent of stale popcorn.

Speaking of sports metaphors, what’s your favorite sports movie?

Don't laugh, but I love Happy Gilmore.

Favorite
(a)… teen movie?

Heathers. Still brilliant after all these years.

(b)…Quentin Tarantino movie?

Reservoir Dogs

(c)…Bill Murray movie?

Ghostbusters, probably.

(d)…romantic comedy?

The Princess Bride

(e)…gangster movie?

Either The Crays or Goodfellas. Or does Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking barrels count as a gangster movie? Cause I love that one, too.

(f)…horror movie?

Poltergeist.

(g)…made for TV movie?

Dunno, the only one I remember really liking was the Ricky Ricardo movie with Maurice Bernard in it. I think it's the last time I saw good ole Maurice actually try to act.

(h)…director?

I don't keep up with directors, so I have no idea.

(i)…drug movie?

Gia.

Which movie have you seen already but will never, ever, ever watch again?

can't think of one.

Which movie are you embarrassed to really like?

I'm a little embarrassed by how much I like "Legally Blonde."

Which movie should be remade asap?

I can't think of any movie I like that I want to see remade. But I'd kill for a decent version of Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" to make me forget the horror of the last one.

What the F happened to (insert answer)? He used to be so damn funny!

Robin Williams

For the love of everything that’s sacred, please someone stop (insert answer) from making another movie!

Tom Cruise. Because at this point, I can't look at him anymore without thinking about how odd he is; he's permanently poisoned for me.

Which movie do all your friends love but you think is whatevs?

can't think of any movies, but I never could get into the new BSG. And I tried.

Which movie do you love but all your friends think is whatevs?

"Dead Again." Most of my friends haven't seen it, and aren't particularly impressed by it when I force it on them. But that movie made me love Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh.

If you could hump/date/marry any movie character, who would it be?

I have no idea. Firth's Darcy, or maybe Rhett Butler? I can't think of anyone else.

Best movie ever?
I can't pick just one.

Book you wish would be made into a movie, and who would direct it?
Honestly, movieness is usually a fate I wouldn't wish on a beloved book.
