A Movie Interview with Algo

Credit where credit is due, to the lovely r_scribbles and her friend ladybracknell for the questions


1. What movie have you seen the most time in the theater? How many times?
The only film I can remember going to see twice was the first Lord Of The Rings film, since I saw it on my own the first time. Oh.. and Mars Attacks with two groups of friends. The sublime AND the ridiculous.

2. What was the last movie you walked out of in the theater?
I have never ever walked out of a movie.

3. What is the first movie you remember seeing in a theater?
YAY! Transformers the Movie! Awesome film and I was taken by my dear daddy! Hurrah!

4. What is your favorite movie soundtrack?
Grosse Point Blank - hurrah!

5. Have you ever dressed up as a movie character for Halloween? If so, who?
Obi-Wan Kenobi

6. What was the first R-rated movie you ever saw? Were you allowed or did you sneak?
It was First Blood and I was about 8. It was round a friends house, so I guess sneak is the answer.

7. Star Wars (orig. trilogy) or Lord of the Rings?
Lord Of The Rings every time. Everything about it is better, the acting, the story, the direction, the sets/props/costumes. Just about as perfect as adaptations get.

8. Pacino or DeNiro?
Its got to be Bobby D, since he has made far less shit films than Pacino (Gigli, anyone?)

9. Titanic...did it suck or was it great?
It sucks harder than a kings cross prossy after a twenty quid tip.

10. What's your take on Cassavetes?
He's no Lynch.

11. Favorite John Hughes character?
Gotta be ol' Bender.

12. What movie gives you a boner (or makes you tingle)?
Er... no movie below R18...

13. What movie always makes you cry like the big puss you are?
Me big man, only cry with pain... so Uwe Bolls Alone In The Dark.

14. What's the furthest you've ever gotten in a movie theater? (i.e, second base...)
I don't pay 13 pounds for a ticket to spend the film Necking! Thats what buses are for!

15. Speaking of sports metaphors, what's your favorite sports movie?
Tough one, since they are mostly utter shite. Er... Dodgeball.

Napoleon Dynamite? Does that count?

(b)...Quentin Tarantino movie?
Pulp Fiction.

(c)...Bill Murray movie?
Ghostbusters.

(d)...romantic comedy?
Some Like It Hot

(i)...drug movie?
What a strange category... I will have to go with Trainspotting

17. What movie have you seen already but will never, ever, ever watch again?
I take it this question doesn't mean simply bad movies, I think Frenzy the Hitchcock film, since it has a horribly realistic rape scene in it.

18. What movie are you embarrassed to really like?
For me, it has to be the ultimate embarrassment, Sleepless in Seattle. Be gentle!

19. What movie should be remade asap?
I am not a fan of remakes, but I would like the whole new trilogy of Star Wars to be wiped from history and started again by Spielberg, Jackson, or Burton.

20. What the F happened to (insert answer)? He used to be so damn funny!
Martin Short. He was my GOD growing up.

21. For the love of everything that's sacred, please someone stop (insert answer) from making another movie!
Too easy. Mr Uwe Boll.

E.T. Its lame and you know it.

23. What movie do you love but all your friends think is whatevs?
Tron.

24. If you could hump/date/marry any movie character, who would it be?
Hump or Date the glorious Madeline Kahn's character in high Anxiety and probably marry someone else.

25. Best...movie....ever?
Impossible to answer in less than 1000 words.

26. Book you wish would be made into a movie, and who would direct it?
Pratchett. All of them, with Stephen Fry Narrating. Awesome. Director would be Terry Gilliam.

  2. Let's hope Gilliam makes a better job of it than that hopeless adaptation of 'The Colour of Magic' recently. Vadim Jean? Waste of space....

  3. Heh, I don't think the films will be greenlit cos I said I want to see them. I'm a great guy, sure, but even I don't have that kind of power.
