Answers, in my own order, my own subset
Date: 2005-09-18 04:57 pm (UTC)4. No, wait, that's another easy one. Serenity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_%28movie%29).
13. Rocky Horror Picture Show (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Horror_Picture_Show), of course.
16. Julia Roberts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Roberts).
14. Ditto. She just bugs me.
3. X2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X2_%28film%29).
2. Spider-Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_%28movie%29) for the triple crime of destroying spider-man scientifically (organic web-shooters), morally (the criminal "fell" off the roof) and mentally (deciding he can't risk MJ in a relationship).
6. Simply Irresistable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simply_Irresistible). Whatever, don't laugh!
5. Speaking of laughter, You must count to three and see this movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python_%26_the_Holy_Grail).
8. Wait, is it allowed to use the same movie twice? Because I'm in love with the opening sequence of Princess Bride (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Bride).
7. Best closing sequence? That's hard. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Ted%27s_Excellent_Adventure) was nice, but I could probably think of better ones given enough time. Did you know there's a comic book series made about them?
9. Well, I'm just plain going to cheat here. Kitty Pryde had a cameo in X-Men (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_%28film%29), and she is, without doubt, my favourite character. Or rather, biggest crush. A cute jewish girl who has super-powers. If she was real, I'd propose...
And with the lying and cheating, I will just leave the rest unanswered.

8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Hmm...I'm gonna say The Incredibles, just because none of my other movies qualify.

This will earn me the wrath of possibly ALL THE WORLD, but I am so sick of the original Star Wars trilogy that I still practically explode when I see the box for it lying around.

14. You get to kill one actor/actress and get away with it. Which one do you get rid of? JENNIFER GARNER. I have no idea why I dislike her so thoroughly(although Alias might be a big part of it), but I just can't stand her.

Date: 2005-09-18 06:19 pm (UTC)2) Heaven's Prisoners. It brings me pain every time I think of this, to know that Dave Robicheaux will probably never be done justice.
3) True Romance, for everything that isn't Christian Slater. But especially Dennis Hopper vs. Christopher Walken, and Rosanna Arquette vs. James Gandolfini.
4) X-Men 3, or possibly the next James Bond. It's all about the geek superiority.
5) I can't really answer. Possibly Battlefield Earth.
6) Grr.
7) One of two possibilities. First, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It took both a series and a genre, turned them upside down, shook them around, and gave them the single most human scene they've ever had. None of this modern two-hundred-bullets-and-a-quip-to-finish-up. One shot, one human life, one tragedy.
Second, Bullitt. For similar reasons, and Steve McQueen's most powerful performance ever.
8) Once Upon a Time in the West.
9) Difficult question. Depends what I've watched most recently.
10) Harmonica in Once Upon a Time in the West.
11) Cheyenne in Once Upon a Time in the West.
12) I really didn't like The Royal Tenenbaums. Or any of the Star Wars prequels, but that's normal.
13) Just One of the Guys.
14) Jennifer Lopez. Duh.
15) Keira Knightley. For obvious reasons.
16) Jude Law.

Date: 2005-09-18 06:57 pm (UTC)2. You get to completely destroy and remove one movie from existence. Which one do you pick? Oliver Stone's Alexander. Can I delete him, too?
3. Which movie that doesn't get nearly enough play would you recommend to everybody? Kurosawa's Madadayo. A funny, reflective, touching film- he never stopped growing and changing as an artist.
4. Which as-yet-unreleased movie this year would you kill someone to see early? Tideland. (Especially if that someone were Oliver Stone, but I'm not bitter, mind you.)(And although this quiz doesn't ask, I'm volunteering- Gilliam is unquestionably the living director whose work means the most to me. Aside from his functioning as a virtual paradigm of an artist who retained his integrity, even after starting to work within the Hollywood system, and the way his images resonate within my memory (forgotten the ending of Brazil lately?), he changes and develops as he goes along- Brazil, Fisher King, and Twelve Monkeys are all masterworks, but for entirely different reasons.)
5. Which movie is the funniest movie you've ever seen? That's a hard one; I remember barely being able to breathe during "Puttin' on the Ritz!" in Young Frankenstein, but Monty Python and the Holy Grail had me laughing more consistently (except for that whole "make sure he doesn't leave" shtick with Michael Palin and Eric Idle as the stupid guard, which d-r-a-g-s until it gets on my nerves. Did Oliver Stone direct it?)
6. Which movie has made you cry the hardest? Remember the "...is it okay to miss her now?" scene in Fisher King...? Yeah, that.
7. What's the best ending sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Sam coming home, at the end of Return of the King. Whatever issues I may have with the individual films, that's still the great sustained experience of my moviegoing life.
8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Touch of Evil- and if you haven't seen Walter Murch's re-edit, do; it's utterly fascinating.
9. Who's your favorite movie character, and why? GAAH THERE GOES THE REST OF MY DAY AS I KEEP TYPING. I'm going to fudge the definition of "character" a bit, and say that Bogie's mixture of to-the-bone toughness with a hint of sadism, yet a true nobility and loyalty to his friends underneath, really does punch my fucking heart out.
10. Which movie character do you think has had the best entrance ever in a movie? Welles again, in The Third Man- his ironic smile as Cotten spots him in the alley? Priceless. (And WHAT a buildup to his entrance!)
11. Which movie character do you think has had the best exit ever in a movie? Mifune, in Seven Samurai- going from buffoon, to grieving over an orphaned child, to avenging... whoops, spoiler filter just kicked in.
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe? Not to kick a guy when he's down, but if Oliver Stone's entire oeuvre... well, you did say "good" films (granted that Platoon has its moments- heck, it even has Johnny Depp!) Okay; other than a couple of the early comedies, Stardust Memories and Crimes and Misdemeanors, Woody Allen could star in Werner Herzog's next movie about grizzly bears for all of me. One big yawn.
13. Which supposedly crappy movie do you love? "Flash.... ahhhahhh... savior of the universe!"
no subject
Date: 2005-09-18 06:57 pm (UTC)15. Which supposedly bad actor do you actually like? Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest... heaven. (Not at all a bad actor per se, but a critically reviled film and performance.)
16. Which supposedly good actor do you wish would just go away? J LO THE STUPID IT BURNS

6. Which movie has made you cry the hardest? Oh I'm a sap... but probably Steel Magnolias.
7. What's the best ending sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Oceans 11 (2000) where they're all by the fountain...
8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? The Italian Job
9. Who's your favorite movie character, and why? Pass - too evil

6. Which movie has made you cry the hardest? - Ladder 49. I freakin' bawled.

8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? - American Beauty when the camera is flying above the street: "My name is Lester Burnham. This is my neighborhood; this is my street; this is my life. I am 42 years old; in less than a year I will be dead. Of course I don't know that yet, and in a way, I am dead already."
9. Who's your favorite movie character, and why? - Capt Mal Reynolds from Serenity (not that I've seen it yet, but he's my favorite TV character and I'm sure that won't change).
10. Which movie character do you think has had the best entrance ever in a movie? - Alright, I found a list of great movie entrances and picked my favorites: Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams (as a baseball fan, it's so amazing to see him appear for the first time), Darth Vader in Star Wars (creepy and dressed as usual all in black), and Satine in Moulin Rouge (Nicole Kidman is gorgeous in the entire movie, but her entrance is breathtaking).
11. Which movie character do you think has had the best exit ever in a movie? - I'm going with someone else's answer on this - Verbal Kint in The Usual Suspects
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe? - Citizen Kane. Rosebud, okay, whatever, I still don't get what's so damn great about it.

Either R2D2 or Indiana Jones, it's hard to say. R2 saved the day and snarked the entire time (you KNOW he was snarking, come on) to the point where if he hadn't been there, the good guys would have lost at least a dozen times over. Indiana Jones is INDIANA FREAKING JONES.
10. Which movie character do you think has had the best entrance ever in a movie?
The Ra's al-Ghul BIG REVEAL at the end of Batman Begins was pretty badass, but I'm a very big geek.
11. Which movie character do you think has had the best exit ever in a movie?
Catwoman, Batman Returns.
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe?
Braveheart.
13. Which supposedly crappy movie do you love?
The Fifth Element.
14. You get to kill one actor/actress and get away with it. Which one do you get rid of?
Tom Cruise.
15. Which supposedly bad actor do you actually like?
For completely shallow reasons? Gina Gershon.
16. Which supposedly good actor do you wish would just go away?
Orlando Bloom. *eyeshift*

Date: 2005-09-18 10:49 pm (UTC)2. You get to completely destroy and remove one movie from existence. Which one do you pick? Ooooh. It's probably gotta be A Beautiful Mind cause uuurghk.
3. Which movie that doesn't get nearly enough play would you recommend to everybody? I, Robot, dammit. I am basically the sole proprietor of a fandom over here and SONNY! Is the greatest movie hero ever.
4. Which as-yet-unreleased movie this year would you kill someone to see early? Serenity now! But it's only two more weeks left.
5. Which movie is the funniest movie you've ever seen? In terms of laugh out loudy, make the bad man stop? Ace Ventura. But that's so old, so the last comedy I ballsout loved was Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.
6. Which movie has made you cry the hardest? It's a tossup, either the ends of FOTR or ROTK.
7. What's the best ending sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Vertigo, hands down. Probably because of its famous abruptness.
8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Minority Report. Damn is that atmospheric, sexy and cool. Too bad you know, Spielberg doesn't truck with that stuff for long.
9. Who's your favorite movie character, and why? Dean Keaton from The Usual Suspects. Wants to do right, but doesn't quite want to do it the right way. A pragmatist with a Romantic Achille's heel, I just love everything that's wrong and right about him.
10. Which movie character do you think has had the best entrance ever in a movie? Probably Satan in End of Days, not to be confused necessarily with Gabriel Byrne. But as everyone who has seen the movie will attest, it's the Best Thirty Seconds Ever.
11. Which movie character do you think has had the best exit ever in a movie? Sean Connery in the Untouchables. "Whatareyou prepared! to do!" Boromir is pretty awesome too, as is Keyser Soze in the Usual Suspects.
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe? Obviously, A Beautiful Mind.
13. Which supposedly crappy movie do you love? Oh, so many. Virtuosity, a mid-nineties movie with Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington is definitely up there. Also, Snake Eyes by Brian DiPalma, with Nick Cage and Gary Sinise. Yay.
14. You get to kill one actor/actress and get away with it. Which one do you get rid of? Reese Witherspoon. After she's done with Walk the Line.
15. Which supposedly bad actor do you actually like? The Affleck. Because The Affleck is *not* a bad actor, he just likes being a movie star better. And I realize some people think Colin Farrell is a bad actor. Feh.
16. Which supposedly good actor do you wish would just go away? Well, Russell Crowe seems to be handling that himself nicely. Also the Toms Cruise and Hanks? Begonewitye.

Date: 2005-09-18 11:52 pm (UTC)2. You get to completely destroy and remove one movie from existence. Which one do you pick? Radio Flyer.
3. Which movie that doesn't get nearly enough play would you recommend to everybody? The Designated Mourner.
4. Which as-yet-unreleased movie this year would you kill someone to see early? I was going to say A History of Violence, but it's opening wide in two weeks anyway. There's a lot of promising stuff coming out; I'm very keen to see Jarhead and Brokeback Mountain.
5. Which movie is the funniest movie you've ever seen? There's Something About Mary, but you have to understand I saw it at a sneak preview before everyone gave all the jokes away. The early scene where Warren freaks out on Ben Stiller for touching his ear made me laugh myself into a headache.
6. Which movie has made you cry the hardest? I generally don't cry at movies, though the end of E.T. gets the waterworks going every time.
7. What's the best ending sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Tragic ending: Vertigo. Happy ending: Shaun of the Dead. I mean, the way the movie figures out what to do about Ed is brilliant, and the choice of song is perfection.
8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Quiz Show. I was just floored by how deftly the movie sums up all of its themes in a scene with Rob Morrow shopping for a car.
9. Who's your favorite movie character, and why? Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley. In the Alien movies she endures pretty much every female nightmare up to and beyond death.
10. Which movie character do you think has had the best entrance ever in a movie? Classicists would demand that I say Harry Lime in The Third Man, which is quite awesome. But my nostalgic '80s heart has to give it to Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, quite possibly the baddest-ass entrance ever.
11. Which movie character do you think has had the best exit ever in a movie? Joe Pesci in GoodFellas. He deserved the Oscar just for the way he registers in a split-second that he's fucked.
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe? A Christmas Story. Everyone loves it but me. I detest it with the intensity of a laser beam.
13. Which supposedly crappy movie do you love? I have yet to find anyone who holds Alex Cox's Walker in the same high regard that I do.
14. You get to kill one actor/actress and get away with it. Which one do you get rid of? Kirk Cameron. I mean, click the link.
15. Which supposedly bad actor do you actually like? Brittany Murphy. Yeah, she's got that blowsy one note she always plays, but she plays it appealingly, I think.
16. Which supposedly good actor do you wish would just go away? Hard to answer, because even most overrated actors have had fine moments. Having said that, I think Robert De Niro needs to go away for about five years, stop making crappy movies, and get serious about his craft again. He was funny in Analyze This, but then being funny got so good to him that comedies are about all he does now.

5. Which movie is the funniest movie you've ever seen? Liar, Liar
6. Which movie has made you cry the hardest? I'm going to break a rule and say Cowboy Bebop, the series. Anyone who doesn't cry a little during the "Call me, Call me" song has no heart.
7. What's the best ending sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? The Boondock Saints "In nomine patris, et filiis, et spiritus sancti...."
8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen? Fight Club. "I wondered how clean that gun barrel was."
9. Who's your favorite movie character, and why? Dirk Pitt/Al Giordino/Admiral Sandecker/Rudi Gunn in Sahara. Not because I liked the movie, but they protrayed the characters from the Clive Cussler books so damn well. And I love me some Dirk Pitt.
10. Which movie character do you think has had the best entrance ever in a movie?Alanis Morrisette, Dogma. God rocks.
11. Which movie character do you think has had the best exit ever in a movie?Gregory Peck, Roman Holiday. Walking out the empty palace was just perfect.
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe? Garden State The hipster cliche, it BURNS.
13. Which supposedly crappy movie do you love? Van Helsing Scene: traveling on a calm sea. Music: DUN-DA DUH-DUHN!
14. You get to kill one actor/actress and get away with it. Which one do you get rid of? Going back in time: Lindsey Lohan (because then this whole tween skeleton idol phenonmenon may have never started!)
15. Which supposedly bad actor do you actually like? Brendan Fraser. I watch Blast from the Past and just go "Awww, he'ssocute."
16. Which supposedly good actor do you wish would just go away? New Bill Murray. Groundhog day? Fabulous. The new stuff? Painful. GO BACK TO POORLY ANIMATED FURRY ANIMALS, BILL.

Date: 2005-09-19 01:11 am (UTC)While You Were Sleeping
2. You get to completely destroy and remove one movie from existence. Which one do you pick?
Oh, spoiled for choice... The Matrix, I think. The cinematography was the only clever thing about it, and *that* was spoiled by imitators within a month. There wasn't a thing about that plot that hadn't been written 50 years ago by better authors.
3. Which movie that doesn't get nearly enough play would you recommend to everybody?
Big Fish. They advertised it as some bizarre fantasy thing; it's really about communication and hope and being yourself and viewpoints.
4. Which as-yet-unreleased movie this year would you kill someone to see early?
Wallace and Grommit and the Curse of the WereRabbit
8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen?
Titanic, actually, the segueway from modern to turn of the century was brillant. Although that's technically not an opening.
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe?
Matrix
13. Which supposedly crappy movie do you love?
While You Were Sleeping.

Date: 2005-09-19 01:13 am (UTC)2. Catwoman! No, no, xXx! No, wait... I need more time.
3. Bubba Ho-Tep.
4. Having seen Serenity (twice!), I'd say it's a three way tie: The Corpse Bride, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Snakes On A Plane. Awwwwwww, yeah.
5. Again, there's a tie: The Aristocrats and The Full Monty.
6. Millions.
7. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. You know it's all going to go downhill from there. But the fact that Sam is with Frodo is comforting, and it's hard not to get excited when Aragorn announces they're rescuing Merry and Pippin and Gimli shouts "YES!".
8. I'm gonna be Captain Indecisive tonight and go for a tie again: the blood club from Blade and the Reaper attack from Blade II.
9. Oh... hell. Alright, I'll try to keep this brief, and the why can be interpreted as "They're awesome": Yoda, Captain Jack Sparrow, 80-something Elvis, Ash, Syndrome,, Hellboy, Gollum, Gimli, Theoden, Dory, Jack Skellington, Marv, Nightcrawler, and Doc Ock.
10. Two words: Darth. Vader.
11. Captain Jack Sparrow, mate.
12. A Beautiful Mind. Deserved to win Best Picture over Fellowship MY ASS.
13. The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions.
14. Halle Berry.
15. Keanu Reeves.
16. Russel Crowe.

2. You get to completely destroy and remove one movie from existence. Which one do you pick?
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, because it's total crap.
3. Which movie that doesn't get nearly enough play would you recommend to everybody?
Eee, tough question. Probably Sleepy Hollow.
4. Which as-yet-unreleased movie this year would you kill someone to see early?
Corpse Bride. Because, like Johnny, I am Tim Burton's bitch.
5. Which movie is the funniest movie you've ever seen?
The Emperor's New Groove.
6. Which movie has made you cry the hardest?
Big Fish punched me in the chest like twenty times.
7. What's the best ending sequence to a movie that you've ever seen?
Again, Emperor's New Groove. Squeak squeaken squeak squeak.
8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen?
Emperor's New Groove, because I want my very own theme song performed by a tiny, animated lounge singer.
9. Who's your favorite movie character, and why?
Belle, from Beauty and the Beast.
10. Which movie character do you think has had the best entrance ever in a movie?
I think that's a tie between Cuzco and Edward Scissorhands.
11. Which movie character do you think has had the best exit ever in a movie?
Most memorable is without a doubt Ewan's character in The Pillow Book.
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe?
I don't know if it's supposed to be good, but a lot of people liked Miss Congeniality.
13. Which supposedly crappy movie do you love?
Cruel Intentions. As long as you watch Dangerous Liaisons first, you can enjoy it.
14. You get to kill one actor/actress and get away with it. Which one do you get rid of?
Julia Roberts is the most annoying actor that I can think of, and she keeps getting parts. Off with her head.
15. Which supposedly bad actor do you actually like?
Orlando Bloom. He isn't gifted in the acting department, but *God* he's pretty.
16. Which supposedly good actor do you wish would just go away?
Tom Cruise, please collect your number.

2. You get to completely destroy and remove one movie from existence. Which one do you pick?
Alexander. I didn't think a movie could be that bad.
3. Which movie that doesn't get nearly enough play would you recommend to everybody?
The Count of Monte Cristo, with Jim Cavizel (that's spelled totally wrong but you know... Jesus). It's the only movie I've been to where the audience gasped as one, and more than once. Or a classic, "The Vikings" with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis. Or "French Kiss" with Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan because you kinda hate both characters at first, then you love them.
4. Which as-yet-unreleased movie this year would you kill someone to see early?
Pride and Prejudice
5. Which movie is the funniest movie you've ever seen?
The Full Monty
6. Which movie has made you cry the hardest?
I don't know what it is, but I spontaneously cry at A League of Their Own at really dumb moments, like when the girl can't read.
7. What's the best ending sequence to a movie that you've ever seen?
Fellowship of the Ring, when Boromir bites it.
8. What's the best opening sequence to a movie that you've ever seen?
The Great Muppet Caper. Best opening credit sequence ever.
9. Who's your favorite movie character, and why?
Can I just say Jayne now?
10. Which movie character do you think has had the best entrance ever in a movie?
Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, working off every pirate movie cliche.
11. Which movie character do you think has had the best exit ever in a movie?
Rhett Butler, baby.
12. Which supposedly good movie do you loathe?
Titanic (overrated), and Gangs of New York (that thing was a mess). Oh, and the Aviator (booooring). I think I see a trend...
13. Which supposedly crappy movie do you love?
Count of Monte Cristo (people had issues since it varies from the book -- but it's BETTER). And that one where Sylvester Stallone gets frozen adn then unfrozen in the future and Taco Bell is the only restaurant left and everything is illegal and he has to kill Wesley Snipes. I forget what it's called, but it's actually damn hilarious.
14. You get to kill one actor/actress and get away with it. Which one do you get rid of?
Paris Hilton.
16. Which supposedly good actor do you wish would just go away?
Leonardo di Caprio. The only movie I like him in was Catch Me If You Can. And Tom Cruise, because seriiously? Or does he not count as a "good" actor anymore? And Kirstin Dunst. My god, Kirstin Dunst!
