Here I go….

Anticipating Movie of 2014 –

——————Interstellar (duh. of course!!!!) and the final Hobbit movie

Book Adaptation I’d Love To See –

——————One that hasn’t been done? The Long Walk by Richard Bachman or any Vince Flynn (RIP) novel.

——————Or one that hasn’t been done right? Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy. Loved the book, hated what Babs did to it.

Celebrity I’d Most Like To Meet –

——————None, wouldn’t want to burst the bubble on what I think of any of them. On the other hand, if we were talking about movie characters, there are numerous I’d love to meet!

Dream Director-Actor Pairing –

——————Christopher Nolan and Kevin Kline (The most versatile actor around)

Essential Classic Film –

——————The Best Years of our Lives (1946)

Favorite Film Franchise –

——————Star Wars (Both trilogies) and Lord of the Rings are tied

Genre I Watch The Most –

——————Thrillers

Hidden Gem –

——————Beautiful Girls (1996) and Nobody’s Fool (1994)

Important Moment in My Film Life –

——————Holding a real Oscar Statue (see the story here). It was only for a documentary, but an Oscar is an Oscar!

Just Right for A Rainy Day –

——————Anything. I’m not really too particular as you all already know.

Kiddie Movie I Still Shamelessly Enjoy –

——————Anything PIXAR

Location I’d Most Like To Visit –

——————I’d love to visit a galaxy far, far away

Marathons I Watched –

——————Star Wars Marathon numerous times, Back to The Future trilogy, Indiana Jones Trilogy, LOTR Extended edition Marathon, Oscar Best Picture marathons prior to the Oscars (Which starts here at 3:30am)

Netflix Movie I Actually Watched –

——————Don’t get Netflix here in Israel, so I can’t answer this one.

One Movie I Saw In Theaters More Than Once –

——————I saw Return of the Jedi (1983) 17 times in the theater.  I used to be able to count off which whom I saw each one and when. Ah, The glory days of youth!!!!

Preferred Place To Watch A Movie – (Cinema or at home)

——————Home. No longer have the luxury of seeing as many movies as I use to in the theater, so I’m perfectly fine watching at home.

Quote that Inspires Me –

Remakes (Friend or Foe?)

——————Foe.  Just because something worked (or didn’t work) once, doesn’t mean you can create success from used material. Hollywood is in DIRE need of original thinkers.

Snack I Enjoy Most –

Thrilling Movie That Blows My Mind –

——————Speed (1994) – It’s one of the best thrillers ever made and literally keeps you on the edge of your seat for the whole 2 hours.

Unapologetic Fanperson –

——————For 80’s flicks

Very Excited For Award Show Season?

——————Always!! As I said earlier, I always watch the Oscars live and it starts by us at 3:30am.  In the 22 years that I live here, I have only missed it once live when my cable went out in 2003.  I had a friend in the states call me every commercial break to update me.

Wish I Never Watched…

——————I can’t think of a single movie that I wished I hadn’t seen.  Even the bad ones are part of my movie loving experience!

XXX Movie I First Watched At A Young Age – (R or NC-17!)

——————Risky Business (1983) and Porky’s (1982)

Your latest movie-related obsession –

——————This blog (obviously).  I find myself watching more movies because I want to write posts about them and share them with all you nice folks!

ZZZ-Catchers – (name a movie that has put you to sleep)

——————I fell asleep watching Citizen Kane (1941) when I saw it in 2007, (think I need to re-watch it because it can’t really be THAT bad)
