Movie (Meme)
1. Popcorn or sweets?
Beer and Nachos, like at Brewvies.
2. Name a movie you have been meaning to see forever.
Our Man In Havana. Not out on DVD, or VHS, as far as I know.
3. You are given the power to recall one Oscar: Who loses theirs and to whom?
That popularity contest cum Advertising bonanza award is meaningless for defining quality. The best films rarely come close.
4. Steal one costume from a movie for your wardrobe. Which will it be?
Any Garbo costume.
5. Your favorite film franchise is?
Wallace and Gromit.
6. Invite five movie people over for dinner. Who are they? Why’d you invite them?
What do you feed them?
Michael Palin, Betty Thomas, Johanna Lumley, Tony Robinson, Jon Stewart to ask them questions. Because they are funny and intelligent, and very interesting people who have done more than be actors. I'd offer whatever I had in the fridge, don't want to worry about food when there is good conversation to be had.
7. What is the appropriate punishment for people who answer cell phones in the cinema?
Cellphones should ring once, then explode. Anytime, anywhere. Sat next to a guy who talked on his phone all the way through a movie, on a Saturday night. I felt too sorry for him to object. This is why I use Netflix.
8. Choose a female bodyguard:
Michelle Yeoh.
9. What’s the scariest thing you have ever seen in a movie?
The Last Wave freaks me out. And the scene from Kurosawa's Dreams with the ghost battalion coming out of the tunnel.
10. Your favorite genre (excluding comedy and drama) is?
Japanese Samurai by Kurosawa. I don't go by genres, more by director, and quality, and a sense of humor.
11. You are given the power to greenlight movies at a major studio for one year. How do you wield this power?
Pixar, for non child centered animation, Aardman as well. John Sayles as much as he wants. Terry Gilliam - to finish his Don Quixote, or anything else. And everyone who is making a movie who is not a Spielbergian Film Student Graduate type, with a movie at Slam Dance (or other really independent fest) can have a couple of million each. With the whole studio ad/distribution apparatus behind each. May not be good, but sure would be interesting.
12. Bonnie or Clyde?
Bonnie Hunt. Who is Clyde. (As for the movie, um...no.)
Beer and Nachos, like at Brewvies.

I completely agree with stealing the Garbo costumes
I found the post-nuclear war sequence in Dreams to be more disturbing. If rather over-done and... well, crazy.
And congratulations fellow Nano winner!
I've stopped going to the movies because of the cell phone jerks.
I adopted the meme, thank-you. Funny how we all hit on Garbo's wardrobe.
