wee_mangoUltimate Movie Survey!!
1.How Many Movies do you own?
Eek...um about 30ish I think on video & 62 on DVD but that'll expand ;)
2.How many movies have you seen at the cinema this year?
Would you believe it, NONE!!
3.How many movies do you reckon you've seen in your entire life?
Loads, no idea on the exact number - probably several hundred I reckon.
4.Would you say you watch too many movies?
Oh yes - particularly when I'm meant to be doing stuff for collage! That's probably one of my biggest flaws...
5.Ever walk out of a movie theatre during a film?
No but was so close to doing so when I was forced to see Cats & Dogs and Men in Black II several years ago; they were awful!
6.Have you ever bought a movie that you hadn't seen before?
Yep; some I can think of are Dealers, The Three Musketeers (1993 version - so much fun!!), The Hanging Gale, The Rainbow, Little Women, Doctor Who: the Movie, Jude, Withnail & I etc...
7.Which ones?
Oopsies, see above.
8.Did you like them?
From the above list yeah, except The Rainbow - I think if they'd gotten a different actress for the part of Ursula it might have been better; no offense to Sammi Davis, but she came across as a whiny bitch LMAO! Paul McGann made up for it though, he was brilliant! ;)
9.Do you rent movies out from the library/ local video rental shop?
Yep but only from video shops, and that's only occasionally...have never rented anything out from a local library.
10.Do you download any films from the net?
Never have done.
11.Do you prefer subtitles to voice dubbing?
Definately subtitles. Voice dubbing I think just ruins the movie's original quality IMHO.
12.Do you prefer low-budget to high price?
If the film keeps you entertained, that's all that matters...sure look at Withnail & I - it was low budget (wasn't it?) & it made me laugh so much! :D
13.Are you a 'Focus Feature' Fan?
What's that?
14.What about 'Sony Pictures Classics'?
Dunno :)
Favourites
Favourite Comedy Movie:
Withnail & I - always laugh on seeing Richard E. Grant blasting that shotgun into the river with his trousers rolled up to the knees, and seeing him & Paul McGann huddled in bed together scared out of their wits, thinking that the 'psycho' poacher is breaking into the cottage downstairs!! :D
Romance:
Ooooh...I probably go for Titanic.
Horror:
The Grudge (Sarah Michelle Gellar version) - okay so people say it ain't scary but I was scared sh!tless watching it! My cousin, a friend and myself were all watching it behind cushions!!

Eeeh...can't think of any at present!
Action:
Oooh I love action movies!! :D Erm...I adore Braveheart, The Mask of Zorro, both The Terminator & Terminator 2: Jugement Day but not the third enstallment - it was atrocious!
Drama:

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk? " :D

Floyd: "That's 'Cristo' you dumb shit."
Heywood: "...by Alexandree...Dumbass...Dumbass??"
Red starts to laugh.
Andy: "Dumbass??"
Heywood shows him the name, as if to prove his point.
Andy: "'Dumas'. You know what it's about? You'll like it; it's about a prison break."
Red: "We oughta file that under Educational too, oughtn't we?"
