I too have apparently devoted myself to memes. I keep meaning to post pictures from my phone, but that requires not blogging from emacs, and I mean who wants to blog from something other than emacs.

  1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times.

    Clue

  2. Name a movie that you've seen multiple times in the theater.

    Embarassing answer: Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Hip answer: Control.

  3. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie.

    Scarlett Johansson

  4. Name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie.

    Tom Cruise.

  5. Name a movie that you can and do quote from.

    Clue, though i don't quote from it as often as i used too because few of my current circle of friends know it nearly as well as i do.

  6. Name a movie musical that you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs.

    The Muppets Take Manhattan.

  7. Name a movie that you have been known to sing along with.

    Hedwig and the Angry Inch

  8. Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see.

    Super-hip answer that is basically impossible to see unless someone happens to do a screening: High School. More easily obtained: The Third Man.

  9. Name a movie that you own.

    Life of Brian

  10. Name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting skills.

    Leslie's answer of Bill Murray is excellent. So as to not be completely unoriginal, I'll also throw in David Bowie.

  11. Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in? If so, what?

    Yeah they don't exist anymore. And I'm not from the sticks.

  12. Ever made out in a movie?

    No. But when Leslie and I and Ming and I think Brian Maniscalco went to see Star Trek: Insurrection, she kept complaining that there weren't enough explosions. So that's the same thing.

  13. Name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven't yet got around to it.

    8 1/2

  14. Ever walked out of a movie?

    no.

  15. Name a movie that made you cry in the theater.

    Ghost World. I didn't actually cry, but I was awfully close.

  16. Popcorn?

    Not really. The only popcorn I seem to really like is the Newman's Own microwave popcorn with real butter. That is delicious, probably because it's mostly salt and butter.

  17. How often do you go to the movies (as opposed to renting them or watching them at home)?

    Once a monthish sounds right.

  18. What's the last movie you saw in the theater?

    Indy 4.

  19. What's your favorite/preferred genre of movie?

    Good ones.

  20. What's the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?

    The Muppets Take Manhattan, which was the first one I ever saw. I was kind of scared of movie theaters when I was a little kid. The next one I think I remember going to see was Masters of the Universe.

  21. What movie do you wish you had never seen?

    Transformers.

  22. What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed?

    In the Beginning was the End: The True Story of De-Evolution. There's probably something weirder, but that's what I came up with off the top of my head. There's always Forbidden Zone, sometimes accurately described as the Citizen Kane of B-movies.

  23. What is the scariest movie you've seen?

    I don't particularly like scary movies. So I'm just gonna say naked Frank Langella at the end of the Adrian Lyne version of Lolita.

  24. What is the funniest movie you've seen?

    Life of Brian, Anchorman. I know there's some other stuff I've seen that's just left me on the floor, but I can't think of any at the moment.
