okay, he hasn’t made it easy, so i’m going to cut and paste and then answer the questions so his responses don’t taint mine.

1. Popcorn or candy?

both. ever since mark i-can’t-remember-his-last-name (castleman?), the boyfriend whom i met in the food court of union station when he was testing movie trailers and i agreed to sit through, among other things, the trailer for the air up there — ever since he introduced me to the wonders of a mouthful of popcorn-plus-m&ms on our first date (the nightmare before christmas), i can only say, both.

2. Name a movie you’ve been meaning to see forever.

hmm. foreverever? honestly i can’t think of one. in this age of dvds and movies on demand, i’ve pretty much seen everything i want to… oh, no, wait. yes, there is one: taxi zum klo.

3. You are given the power to recall one Oscar: Who loses theirs and to whom?

i don’t pay enough attention to the oscars, but i was annoyed that tom hanks kept winning them for playing damaged characters. if he got one for forrest gump — oh, and i see that he did — i’d take that away and give it to morgan freeman. because let’s face it. morgan freeman. in shawshank. that’s a no-brainer.

4. Steal one costume from a movie for your wardrobe. Which will it be?

almost anything eiko ishioka did for bram stoker’s dracula. it came out when i was taking costume design, and i fell in luuuuurve. or anything grace kelly wore in rear window. but wait. okay: it would have to be this outfit that j.lo wore in the cell.

5. Your favorite film franchise is…

the terminator. if you ignore the second and third movies. or at least the third one. the second was okay.

ooh. and alien. if you ignore the third and fourth movies.

6. Invite five movie people over for dinner. Who are they? Why’d you invite them? What do you feed them?

this requires too much thought. next question…

7. What is the appropriate punishment for people who answer cell phones in the movie theater?

bullet in the brain pan. squish.

8. Choose a female bodyguard: Ripley from Aliens. Mystique from X-Men. Sarah Connor from Terminator 2. The Bride from Kill Bill. Mace from Strange Days.

mace. i’ve got a thing for kick-ass black chicks. it would’ve been a more difficult decision if you’d added may day from a view to a kill.

9. What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever seen in a movie?

someone’s saggy ass, i’m sure.

10. Your favorite genre (excluding comedy and drama) is?

scifi/horror

11. You are given the power to greenlight movies at a major studio for one year. How do you wield this power?

by rejecting anything that is a remake, stars ben affleck, or that adam sandler thought would be a good idea.

and i’d greenlight anything pauly shore wanted to do. just because.

12. Bonnie or Clyde?

bonnie. warren beatty: ugh.

13. Who are you tagging to answer this survey? (Three or more)

gee, who do i know that has a thing for movies? there’s my coffee monkey (but he doesn’t have a website, so i’ll link to his chud profile) and e-mail him this; roomie james; and fellow brown film society geek jennie.
