Go to the head of the class!<br /><br />And as for <i>The Apartment</i>, I love that movie so much that as a writing exercise, way back in the day, I transcribed the last four scenes or so, from where Jack Lemmon tells Fred MacMurray where to get off, through to the end of the movie. Just to give my sub-conscious the experience of having written something so good.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-43481707545623457672011-05-31T22:01:16.331-04:002011-05-31T22:01:16.331-04:00oh I didn't see this. Now I have something to ...oh I didn't see this. Now I have something to do...<br /><br />1. The Apartment. love everything about this movie.<br /><br />2. Never: I guess the twilight saga, after watching the first one. I will never watch the ones that followed. Terrible.<br /><br />3. Bonnie and Clyde every time. <br /><br />4. buster keaton's movies <br /><br />5. jack lemmon and bette davis<br /><br />6. george clooney and the same as you, ange.. I just don't understand the fascination. <br /><br />7. I would like to have Buster Keaton round for tea! and if he's caught up hanging out with you I would like to have Joe Strummer round for a camp fire lol. He did act in film to. so it counts!<br /><br />8. Gary Cooper* dreamboat. <br /><br />9. Dream Cast: The cast from Hush Hush sweet Charlotte is awesome.<br /><br />10. Pairing: Same as you again: Powell and Loy. so many great films and you can't beat their chemistry. I doubt the actors in the remake will top them.<br /><br />11. Movie Setting: San Francisco for a city. And New England for suburbia. And right now the south for the south. <br /><br />12. Decade: This is a hard one. 60s maybe. or the 30s.<br /><br />13. Chick Flick: Now, Voyager.<br /><br />14.Bette Davis can be all of those characters without fail.<br /><br />15. B&w or Colour either or.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-30482265652488223132011-05-29T12:52:02.205-04:002011-05-29T12:52:02.205-04:00well, here we go:

Movie you love with a passion.
Star Wars would...1. Movie you love with a passion.<br /><br />Star Wars would be the top of this list.<br /><br />2. Movie you vow to never watch.<br /><br />Because of my awards obsession, it's hard to say. But I didn't have to watch the second Twilight and will thus avoid it forever.<br /><br />3. Movie that literally left you speechless.<br /><br />Well, I couldn't speak after Phantom of the Opera (2004), but I screamed a lot. Then I cursed a lot at Lloyd Webber for allowing Schumacher to fuck it up.<br /><br /><br />4. Movie you always recommend.<br /><br />Children of Paradise<br /><br /><br />5. Actor/actress you always watch, no matter how crappy the movie.<br /><br />Ralph Fiennes - for classic films it's Lon Chaney - he has a full day coming up in August on TCM - don't miss it!<br /><br />6. Actor/actress you don't get the appeal for.<br /><br />Classic - Robert Taylor and Victor Mature. Neither could act, neither had charisma (like Tyrone Power, who couldn't act, but had charisma) and neither was good enough looking to overcome those flaws. Hell, Mature was awful to look at.<br /><br />For today, it's Shia LaBeouf.<br /><br />7. Actor/actress, living or dead, you'd love to meet.<br /><br />Orson Welles, hands down.<br /><br />8. Sexiest actor/actress you've seen. (Picture required!)<br /><br />I have no picture, but Gwyneth Paltrow at a benefit concert in Seattle in 2001 played by Pearl Jam and R.E.M.<br /><br /><br />9. Dream cast.<br /><br />Ralph Fiennes - Arthur<br />Rachel Weisz - Guinevere<br />Daniel Day-Lewis - Launcelot<br />Ian McKellen - Merlin<br /><br />10. Favorite actor pairing.<br /><br />Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee<br /><br />11. Favorite movie setting.<br /><br />New Zealand as Middle-Earth<br /><br />12. Favorite decade for movies.<br /><br />the 50's<br /><br />13. Chick flick or action movie?<br /><br />action, but only if well done - I'll take the good film<br /><br />14. Hero, villain or anti-hero?<br /><br />anti-hero<br /><br />15. Black and white or color?<br /><br />black and white when it should be (Sunset Blvd, Maltese Falcon) - though certain films I wish had been made in color (Yankee Doodle Dandy)Erik Beckhttp://nighthawknews.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-6494983874126438792011-05-27T14:52:46.372-04:002011-05-27T14:52:46.372-04:00Good questions.
