I remember posting a link to a quiz at Pacino's Loft. It was a good quiz. I'm not afraid of you! Only Al himself knows more about him than Me, Lavi and Afi!!!

no, actually I meant touching, moving, intense.... :rolleyes: Is that wrong? [/b][/quote]I think "Poignant" might means the movie is "sharp" or "witty"...but maybe not...anyway, great questionnaire Lasagna, my reply is on the way.

About Insomnia - JustMe, watch the original version (if u didnt) - it is MUCH better than that remake. [/b][/quote]Witty? Well, then one of the wittiest movies I've ever seen is "Lock, stock and Two smoking barrels."
About original - If I remember correctly, it was Norvegian film?

1. Where. Theatre, home (TV, DVD, VHS, whatever) I like to cozy up on the couch, under the blankets, in the dark, and watch DVDs on my 36" w/ surround sound. However, Sci-fi movies and such that take advantage of the huge screen I like to see in the theater, altho I don't go too often.

2. When. Over the weekend, throughout the week, once in a month etc. A few nights a week, doesn't matter which days

3. How many movies would you watch in a row. I've watched the 3 orginal Star Wars films in a row. I don't recall if I've done that with the 3 GF's or not. I LOVE spending long hours watching movies or TV series in a row, especially in the winter. When I watch The Sopranos on DVD, I usually watch 4 at a time. Which reminds me, I better get crackin' before March 12.

4. Alone or in company. In the latter case, in whose company. I like watching movies alone, but I don't mind company if they can STFU. Except for comedies, which are more fun watching with drunk/stoned friends.

5. do you usually have a drink or a snack during the breaks? What breaks?

6. have you ever smooched while watching a movie? (I told you I'm nosy ) Not in a theater - I hate that.

7. which site do you choose at the theatre (if given the chance) I like to sit in the center, about a third of the way back.

8. have you ever cried/sobbed while watching a movie? Yes, of course - anyone who hasn't been moved has no heart. :p

9. what's the worst thing that could happen while watching a movie? Cell phone going off.

10. do you get info or spoilers about the movie you are going to watch? Sometimes

11. have you ever watched a porn movie? Maybe.

12. the most boring movie you can think of I can't think of any right now; I must've fallen asleep.

13. the most exciting one Most horror movies and caper movies

14. the most disappointing one Many sequals are disappointing, but one first-run movie that disappointed me was The Hulk

15. the most poignant Certainly not Fahrenheit 9/11

16. the scariest The Ring is up there. I really don't get that scared from movies, but most anything with little girl ghosts skipping rope are kinda creepy

17. the funniest I'm a sucker for slapstick comedies like Police Academy, and films with Leslie Nielsen. When I saw Porky's as a teenager, it was the funniest movie I had ever seen for a long time.

18. the sexiest (porn doesn't count) Anything with Phoebe Cates in it

19. the stupidiest Every Pauly Shore movie

20. I'll never forget that time when.........(fill in) I borrowed a bootleg of SAW from a friend, and it crapped out in the last 5 minutes so I missed the ending.



I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol

1. Home, DVD. I like pausing and grabbing a snack, etc.

2. Doesn't matter. Depends on the mood.

3. 2, sometimes 3. Again, depends on the mood.

4. Usually with the wife and/or kids. I watch "mine" alone (those they don't care for, like Schindler's List...go figure!!)

5. Yep.

6. When I was about 20, probably.

7. Mid-way, anywhere near the very center.

8. Braveheart, Schindler's List, stuff like that will do it every time!

9. Somebody yapping. Family or not, I loathe that!

10. No. I wanna be totally surprised!

11. About 20 years ago (I'm ashamed to say).

12. The remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau. Absolute torture!

13. That's tough. Probably The Matrix (I or II).

14. Hide and Seek with DeNiro. Such a lame plot twist (that I clearly saw coming not even a quarter of the way into the movie).

15. Ah, I suppose Forrest Gump...although I hate to admit it.

16. The Exorcist.

17. Airplane!

18. Dunno. Probably Alien with Sigourney Weaver as Ripley.

19. Tremors!

20. I'll never forget that time when...so-and-so died at the end of So-and-So

1. Where. Theatre, home (TV, DVD, VHS, whatever)Home and any medium is acceptable aslong as it's viewable. I avoid the cinema unless it's a film I'm desperate to see, I get in for free or it's an advance staff screening (it's good knowing the right people).

2. When. Over the weekend, throughout the week, once in a month etc. I work till 9pm and maybe once a week I'll put on a movie.

3. How many movies would you watch in a row.One.

4. Alone or in company. In the latter case, in whose company. Depends on the kind of movie.

5. do you usually have a drink or a snack during the breaks? I drink all the time, movie or no movie.


6. have you ever smooched while watching a movie? (I told you I'm nosy ) There's a movie on?

8. have you ever cried/sobbed while watching a movie?No. But I haven't been far from it. Usually a little "get it together" slap on my face sorts me out.

9. what's the worst thing that could happen while watching a movie? The movie skipping or messing up somehow.

10. do you get info or spoilers about the movie you are going to watch? I like to do a little homework but mostly for opinions on the film.

11. have you ever watched a porn movie?[b]I've got titles that'd make you blush.


16. the scariest First time I saw Saving Private Ryan. I really put myself in that film.

18. the sexiest (porn doesn't count)Hannibal.

I've always enjoyed the sexual tension between Lector and Clarice. In Silence... it was almost certainly one sided but in Hannibal some kind of soft spot or appreciation/understanding in Clarice for Lector had developed. I love the direction of the film, the angles, the scenes (set in Florence) and the music (JS Bach's Goldberg Variations and the Opera's Vide Cor Meum) together offered a sexy background to the tension to create a very sexy film.

For some reason I've never seen it. I started to watch it one time with my mates but people were fucking about so we stopped it and put something less demanding on for them.

1. Where. Theatre, home (TV, DVD, VHS, whatever)
I really hate going to the movie theatre so I rent everything. I have a 64" HD with built in surround sound and a comfy room to watch in so it is so much better than public movie theatre.

2. When.
Friday night is a big movie night at my house.

3. How many movies would you watch in a row.
No more than 2. I get too tired and sitting for so long and don't want to snooze through one.

4. Alone or in company.
I have watched alone but mostly with sig other.

5. do you usually have a drink or a snack during the breaks?
No breaks but I always make drinks and snacks for movie night. Usually homemade chicken nachos and margaritas. Bar is in the same room so refills are no problemo!

6. have you ever smooched while watching a movie? (I told you I'm nosy )
No way. Then you can't watch the movie!

7. which site do you choose at the theatre
If ever I go, towards the back, not too close. Next to the aisle.

8. have you ever cried/sobbed while watching a movie?
All the time. I am misty more times than not.

9. what's the worst thing that could happen while watching a movie?
Incessant talking. If you want to talk, you need to hit the pause button.

10. do you get info or spoilers about the movie you are going to watch?
Always. Im often still surprised though.

11. have you ever watched a porn movie?
Yes. Frankly they make me laugh and I don't find them sexy in mixed company.

12. the most boring movie you can think of.
Nell. Great actors but what a snoozefest.

13. the most exciting one
The beginning sequence to Saving Private Ryan.

14. the most disappointing one
Cold Mountain. I read the book and was excited about the movie and it had big stars but it failed to meet my expectations

15. the most poignant
Sixteen Candles reminds me of my youth. Beaches makes me cry every time.

16. the scariest
Showgirls. That movie had some SCARY acting in it!

17. the funniest
Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I laugh hysterically every time.

18. the sexiest (porn doesn't count)
Unfaithful. Diane Lane and Oliver Martinez. Im hot thinking about that right now!

19. the stupidiest
Any comedy with a II, III or IV behind it's name

20. I'll never forget that time when.........
I was in the theatre watching 48 hours with my friends for the first time. When Eddie Murphy starts singing the Police song in the jail cell, everyone started throwing popcorn and candies at me from all angles. I was covered. It's only funny when you know that's really my name.


I have a tendency to wear my heart on my sleeve -
I have a history of taking off my shirt.....
