1. The last movie you saw in a theater, and current-release movie you still want to see: <\/b><\/p>\n
Current release I want to see? I’m dying to see Half Nelson<\/i>, Black Dahlia<\/i>, Little Miss Sunshine<\/i> and I totally have to see Shortbus<\/i> when it opens on Oct. 4 just cause I’m so curious.<\/p>\n
And – I guess I haven’t been to a movie in the movie theatre in a long time. I just can’t remember what the last one was. Poseidon<\/i>? What a piece of crap THAT was.<\/p>\n
2. The last movie you rented\/purchased for home viewing: <\/b><\/p>\n
Carnal Knowledge<\/i> – just bought that this past weekend<\/p>\n
3. A movie that made you laugh out loud <\/b> just one??<\/p>\n
What’s Up Doc?<\/i>
\nWaiting for Guffman<\/i>
\nBringing up Baby<\/i><\/p>\n
4. A movie that made you cry: <\/b><\/p>\n
Running on Empty<\/i><\/p>\n
5. A movie that was a darling of the critics, but you didn’t think lived up to the hype:<\/b><\/p>\n
Forrest Gump<\/p>\n
It wasn’t just the darling of the critics – it was the darling of, uhm, everyone – and I wasn’t just bored by the film, I was also actively annoyed<\/i> by it. I thought it was indicative of everything that is WRONG in today’s society (and I’m not a “oh woe is me, society is going downhill” type girl – but yay, Forrest Gump<\/i> MADE me into one of those people). I’ve posted my thoughts about it before and people write me pained emails trying to tell me why I need to see it again. It HURTS people that I don’t like the movie. So freakin’ weird. So no. I will not see it again. Life is too short for me to watch that piece of shit twice. Now let the emails fly!!<\/p>\n
6. A movie that you thought was better than the critics: <\/b><\/p>\n
Living Out Loud<\/i> – I think that was one of the best movies of the last 10 years – and I guess it got good reviews – but certainly not like I thought it should have gotten. Fantastic film. I think everyone in it (Holly Hunter, Danny Devito, Queen Latifah) did their best work ever.<\/p>\n
I felt implicated by that movie. I felt named<\/i> by it. I took it personally<\/i>. On some level, I am<\/i> that Holly Hunter character and … I felt intensely disturbed by it, but also so<\/i> impressed. Wow … how did they KNOW all that?<\/p>\n
But besides my own personal response to it- it’s just a good movie, that’s all.<\/p>\n
7. Favorite animated movie: <\/b><\/p>\n
Lady and the Tramp<\/i> probably. I adore that movie. Although I have such a soft sport for Bug’s Life<\/i> – because of how often I watched that movie with the Cash-man.<\/p>\n
8. Favorite Disney Villain: <\/b><\/p>\n
The Queen in Snow White<\/i>. I still find her rather terrifying.<\/p>\n
9. Favorite movie musical: <\/b><\/p>\n
Probably Meet me in St. Louis<\/i>. Although – you know what? No. I’m gonna have to go with Grease<\/i>. Sorry.<\/p>\n
10. Favorite movies of all-time (up to five):<\/b> Ack – I hate these, but here we go – off the top of my head, just in terms of how many times I have seen these, and how often I can see them and never ever get tired of them:<\/p>\n
Empire Strikes Back<\/i>
\nRunning on empty<\/i>
\nOnly Angels Have Wings<\/i>
\nWitness<\/i>
\nWhat’s Up Doc?<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
