It’s been a while since anybody’s tagged me, but tagged I am – this time by Professor. This one was tough for me because I can probably count on two hands the number of movies I’ve watched in the last two years. I know there are movies that have really reached me throughout my life, but I’ll be damned if I can remember the best ones. Well, here goes, and remember to pop on over to check out what Professor has to say at her blog.
Popcorn or Candy?
Popcorn. Candy you can buy anywhere, for lots cheaper. Popcorn anywhere other than the theater you have to make, or nuke, or buy cold with fake “butter flavor” powder on it, which just doesn’t get the popcorn all marvelously soggy four to twenty hours later when your lips are no longer numb from the salt and you’re ready for more snackin’!
Name a movie you’ve been meaning to see forever.
Deep Thro… no, wait… American Pie. Everyone I’ve spoken to who’s seen that flick has told me I’m an idiot for not having seen it…even people over the age of 15 have told me this. Some have told me I'm an idiot without even mentioning a movie…. Hmmmm….
Steal one costume from a movie for your wardrobe.
I guess it would have to be the fedora and leather jacket Harrison Ford wore in the Indiana Jones films, because I already have the gingham dress and the ruby slippers from The Wizar... oops. Next Question?
Your favorite film franchise is…
Jeez, I don’t know. I guess I’d have to go with the Star Wars saga, though I’d have to say that the Bourne films and the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movies are close behind.*
Invite five movie characters over for dinner. Who are they? Why’d you invite them? What do you feed them?
1) Mary Hatch because she’s so sweet and pretty and, well, that phone call with George Bailey and Sam Wainright is the hottest love scene shot from the shoulders up EVER!
2) Tia Russell, because I finally saw that movie a few weeks ago after it had been out only 17 years(!) and I absolutely fell in love with her. Please disregard the whole she-was-only-17-when-she-made-the-movie thing… she’s staying after dinner is over and everyone else has left…except Mary Hatch!
3) Frank Bullitt because after dinner he’s gonna let me take his 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback for one helluva spin …with Tia Russell and Mary Hatch! And then he's leaving!
4) Willy Wonka, because I want to see how long it takes before Frank Bullitt punches his lights out.
5) Professor Julius Kelp/Buddy Love, and I want him to bring his potion along with him and take it so we can all see his transformation. Also, I want him to bring enough potion for all of us just so we can see what each of us becomes after taking it.
I’m taking everyone to White Castle because I know everybody will like it (except, maybe, Tia Russell, but she and I will discuss that after dinner ;D ). Besides, if I cook for everyone, someone’ll be dead before morning.
What is the appropriate punishment for people who answer cell phones in the movie theater?
Bean him/her/them repeatedly in the back of the head with Ju-Ju-Bees or Sno-Caps (keeping the popcorn in my bucket where it belongs (see paragraph above).
Choose a female bodyguard:
Hmmm. “Large Marge”? Or Owen’s momma? Or Angelina Jolie? Oh, what I could do with those lips! I’m gonna have to go with Angelina Jolie on this one, and I’ll be a most inappropriate employer!
What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever seen in a movie?
Stephen Hawking.
Your favorite genre (excluding “comedy” and “drama” ):
Action-Adventure
You are given the power to greenlight movies at a major studio for one year.
A few of… ah, hell! ALL of my own story ideas are developed, completed and released. Tom Hanks is doing silly comedy again. Drew Barrymore, Tom Cruise and Vin Diesel (to name a few) are out of work, as they should be. The formula for action-adventure is thrown out the window and re-invented. The studio loses a TON of money, and I’m run out of town on a rail. But I have fun while it lasts, and why not? It’s all about me, right?
Bonnie or Clyde?
Are we talking the real Bonnie, or as played by Faye Dunaway? Point’s moot, ‘cause I ain’t taking Clyde under any circumstances.

Okay, if you're reading this, you're tagged...unless you're Professor or one of the others she tagged with this meme. Git writin'!
*I’m only kidding. I only meant Mary Kate and Ashley.

OMG this is great!!!!!!!! (Except for the Mary Kate and Ashley fetish- we need to talk about that! ;) ) An out of work Tom Cruise, popcorn ratherhan candy and dress like Indiana Jones... ahhhh, you're my hero!
And thanks for the props in paragraph 1! *hugs*
No prob! Hug accepted :)
(And I love the Bourne flicks. Just teasin' about the Olsen twins. Mostly. A bit.)
And read the post again...I changed it to add a YouTube clip of the climactic car chase from Bullitt. Well, you don't have to read it...just wanted you to know the clip is there now... :)
Ack- I can't get the youtube thingy to work... I can't even find it... help! And I think the Bourne flicks are great as well- I'm waiting for #3 on DVD since the nearest it came to me was Billings...
Th' Perfesser sent me here. I can't help but think that these memes would be more interesting if they were about BLUE movies instead. Not that I know nuthin' bout that, o' course... ::coff, coff::
I'm out of the loop, Farrago, because I have only seen 1-2 of those movies, so I don't know whereof you speak. You wrote about it in a very funny manner!
hot lemon-- Hey! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will return often.
Well, if IMDB recognized those movies as legitimate, and therefore listed them, I would have had quite a different post, indeed!
kenju-- Well, now you have a brief list of movies to see
What's a blue movie?
professor-- Blue movie = porn
(just in case you were leaning towards "Smurfs")
(However, a "Blue Smurfs" movie is... well, I think you can figure that one out) ;)
Yeah! You should've known! I can't believe you didn't know!
Really? You didn't know?
It proves 2 things. a) HL is a perv. 2) He's old.
I hadn't heard the term "blue movie" since I was a kid and my Dad said it...and he was old then!
Oh so the fact I didn't know means I'm young and not a pervert? Oh, a compliment! (Nope, I really didn't know... I've heard of snuff films tho... and I saw "Blue Velvet" and I've heard the term Blue balls... but otherwise... nope. Really didn't know blue movies meant porn. Gee, I learned something new today!)
(And with all this commenting conversation, we should break down and just email! LOL)
Greetings Farrago, I was directed here by the Professor! Love the meme. Can I ask which Willy Wonka? The original or the creepy one played by Johnny Depp?
Hi, lilith!! Thanks for visiting! I got this meme from Professor, so it should look familiar!
To find out which Willy Wonka, you're supposed to click on his name/link ;).
But, in case you're tired of my blog already, it's J.D.
Oh man! I was totally going to steal the leather jacket/fedora thing.
Thanks for stopping by, btw. I might have to let this meme stew in my subconscious for a bit before I unleash my fetish... uh, preferences! on the world.
scarlet-- I had to look up virago, and then I realized your moniker sounds very much like my moniker, but they are in no way similar in meaning!
Uh... please don't hurt me.
I don't care if you take the Indiana Jones thing. It's your thing. Do what you wanna do.
Great. Now THAT song is stuck in my head.
LOL, okay I'm a dumbass, I never thought to click on the link to see which one you were talking about.
Nobody beats up Johnny Depp. Nobody.
Augustus Gloop, yes. But not WIllie W, in EITHER form.
Won't you please reconsider?
OKay, okay, I'll write something! It won't be as good as yours, but I'll write something
