Steal this post
This dump's been dead for a while, so here is a little something to dust off the cobwebs. A Gay-ass film survey!
1. Name your favorite animation film.
Just one? Please. Its kind of a toss-up between AKIRA, GHOST IN THE SHELL, and the latest APPLESEED.
2. Name the Sexiest Scene.
PORKY'S or I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE
3. Favorite action scene?
The L.A. shootout in HEAT is pretty amazing.
4. What movie do you consider a guilty pleasure?
STEALTH. I just love it! I watch RED DAWN a lot more than I should, too.
5. Favorite Foreign film?
Good grief. Impossible to answer. Today I'll go with CHOPPER from Australia, or England's BLOODY SUNDAY. But I watch a ton of Italian, Japanese, and Brit films, so its difficult to lump all that stuff together. Its also uncomfortably Nationalist!!!
6. What movie could you watch continuously and never get tired of?
BLADE RUNNER or FULL METAL JACKET.
7. What movie could you not finish even if you were paid to watch it?
Anything by Godard. Yuck.
8. Favorite Muppet/Puppet film?
STRINGS. Its Dutch. Fucking amazing! Close second is MEET THE FEEBLES.
9. What is your honest opinion of Citizen Kane?
Great cinematography, but I wish it was more like the first and last couple minutes where you get to see all his crazy stuff being catalogued. I always felt that could be a great setup for a TV series, where each week you see the story behind some arcane object found at "Xanadu." But honestly the movie doesn't really do it for me, even though I recognize its innovations ... I find it rather dull.
10. Favorite Madonna movie?
That one where she gets beaten to death with a hammer. Oh wait, that's a fantasy of mine, sorry. A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, then.
11. Favorite Film score?
STARSHIP TROOPERS!!!
12. Best period piece?
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.
13. Stephen Dorf or Christian Slater?
I like Dorff b/c he was Deacon Frost in BLADE. But Slater has HEATHERS under his belt, so its a tough one. And Dorff didn't make HARD RAIN, did he?
14. Jennifer Love Hewitt or Rachel Leigh Cook?
Are you asking who I'd rather have sex with? I guess Jennifer. She has very round assets. I don't know who the other one is, so it's kinda like asking me "Do you want the TV, or what's behind door number three?" And they open the door and its like a coupon for Pizza Hut.
15. Corey Haim or Corey Feldman?
I dunno, they were both in THE LOST BOYS, so it must be a tie.
16. Best argument to keep having rock stars in movies?
THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH.
17. Best remake of a film?
DAWN OF THE DEAD was better than it had any right to be.
18. Best remake of a foreign film?
SOLARIS. Because its in English and less than fours hours long.
19. Favorite Apocolyptic movie?
That would be ApocAlyptic, my darling. And I'll go with THE DAY AFTER, even though THREADS is better.
20. Best documentary?
GRIZZLY MAN.
21. Best movie with a color in the title?
BLACULA.
22. Best historical event turned movie?
BLOODY SUNDAY is incredible. And I am rather fond of JFK.
23. Terry Gilliam or the Coen Bros?
The Coen Brothers, but they have a lot to answer for after THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE and THE LADYKILLERS. Gilliam hasn't done anything for me since BRAZIL, and I tried REAL HARD to like FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS.
24. Richard Linklater or Mike Judge?
They are both really nice to me whenever I see them *NAME DROP* but Rick has a lot more out there to choose from. Then again, I *do* rather like Beavis and Butthead cartoons, so its a tough call.
25. Woody Allen or Mel Brooks?
Mel Brooks, *except* SPACEBALLS, which frankly, sucks. But BLAZING SADDLES and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN are undeniably hilarious. And Woody's never had a thing to say to me.
26. Most artsy-fartsy film you hate but everyone seems to love?
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Its lousy, and predictable. "Kids have lots of fun with drugs, kids form plan to parlay drug money into a career, then kids ruin lives with drugs when plan doesn't work out. The End." LAME LAME LAME
27. Most underrated Spielberg movie? ( Even if you hate Spielberg.)
A.I., without a doubt. People don't see its brilliance. Sure, it has some rough spots (like the horrible Dr Know sequence), but Gigolo Joe is totally awesome, as is Teddy!
28. Favorite cameo in a movie?
David Bowie in YELLOWBEARD. Although Quentin being shot in the face in DESPERADO is pretty cool.
29. Most Underrated Director?
No idea. I guess I'll have to say Robert Zemeckis, because I like a lot of his movies, but people always seem to scoff at him. Its probably just because he's successful. But hey, I happen to *like* FORREST GUMP and CAST AWAY!
30. Most Overrated Actor/Actress?
Will Ferrell. But people seem to accept this now. For about 5 minutes he was really funny. Now I am just tired of him.
31. Best comic book adapation film?
BATMAN BEGINS.
32. Quentin Tarantino or Takashi Miike?
Miike, easily. Quentin needs to get off the pot and make some good movies. That are ORIGINAL this time.
33. Disney or Warner Bros.?
I don't see Disney making the first MATRIX or THE EXORCIST.
34. Favorite Film Noir?
THE BIG SLEEP or RED ROCK WEST.
35. Favorite Sports related film?
THE LONGEST YARD w/ Burt Reynolds. And ROLLERBALL.
36. Favorite Book Adaptation?
BLADE RUNNER. Because it pisses off Philip K. Dick fans. And technically, ORCA THE KILLER WHALE is an adaptation of FRANKENSTEIN, so its again, a tough call.
37. Gus Van Sant or Jim Jarmusch?
Van Sant made LAST DAYS but Jarmusch made STRANGER THAN PARADISE. I'm gonna go w/ Van Sant because he seems to be doing things I like LATELY, and Jarmusch has not.
38. What scene made you cry the hardest?
When Bright Eyes dies at the end of WATERSHIP DOWN, or when Jin-Tae dies to save his brother in TAE GUK GI.
39. Favorite religious themed film?
OMEN III: THE FINAL CONFLICT
40. Favorite Sidekick?
Short Round from TEMPLE OF DOOM.
41. What is your favorite movie line?
"Ignore him. He's just a scribbler with too much drink in him." (THE THIRD MAN)
42. What film artist (director, actor, screenwriter, whatever) has the least deserved good reputation? And who would you replace him/her with on that pedestal?
Alfred Hitchcock. Yaaawwwwwnnn. Replace him with anyone. Replace him with fucking Uwe Boll, I don't care. I'd rather watch HOUSE OF THE DEAD than VERTIGO any old day.
43. The scene you most wish you could have witnessed being filmed?
Lobby shootout in THE MATRIX. I bet it was loud as shit.
44. Name a movie that inspired you to walk out before it was finished.
I walked out of THE WILD BUNCH, but only because I'd seen it plenty of times, and the print sucked. STAR WARS EPISODE ONE "inspired" me to walk out, but I didn't.
45. What is your favorite movie poster/one-sheet, or the one you'd like most to own?
I really want an original DANGER DIABOLIK. But I already have an original THE KILLER and GODZILLA VS THE SMOG MONSTER. Top that.
46. Jeff Bridges or Jeff Goldblum?
You don't see Jeff Goldblum in LEBOWSKI, do you?
47. Grace Kelly or Ava Gardner?
Neither. They're both dead. Are we still talking about sex?
48. Most imaginative screenplay?
ADAPTATION is pretty good, and I liked PRIMER and THE FINAL CUT an awful lot.
49. Best buddy film?
BAD BOYS II.
50. And finally, what film do you feel affected/affects you the most?
Well, BLADE RUNNER is so provocative in so many ways, so I'll have to go with that. But seeing THE KILLER in a theatre in 1989 really changed my ideas of "what cinema was all about." It literally BLEW MY MIND that such a film could exist, and I feel confident saying "it changed my life!!!"
1. Name your favorite animation film.
