Sep. 15th, 2006 08:59 am1. What's your favorite line from a movie, and why?
Actually, more of an exchange.
Boris: Harry, how did you know you were in love? I mean with you and Lucy. How'd you know it wasn't just infatuation?
Dr Harry Wolper: Scientifically, of COURSE. By using The Love Formula.
Boris: The what?
Dr Harry Wolper: Love Formula. Add up the number of times that you think about the lady each day. Subtract from the total the number of times you think about yourself each day. If the remainder is more lady, and less yourself, then it's love.
Boris: Oh, I've been thinking about Barbara a lot lately.
Dr Harry Wolper: What's so very neat about this particular formula, is that "a lot" plugs into it beautifully. Boris, would you and the subject of your computations care to join me at the beach house for the weekend?
Always been a neat way of looking at it. Anyone who can name the movie (WITHOUT looking at IMDB) gets a cookie.
2. Who's your favorite villain from a movie, and why?
Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg. Over the top, insane genius,who almost always has a backup plan. The acting, by Gary Oldman, helped put this as one of my favorite villains of all time.
3. Name one movie everyone else loves that you hate.
Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.
Most people I know fall into the "Oh, it was great, it was so much better than episodes 1 or 2".
4. Name one movie everyone else hates that you love.
Come on, Bubba Ho-Tep wasn't THAT bad. :-P
5. What's your favorite Pixar film, and why?
Monster's Inc. I adored the two Toy Stories, but for some reason, I liked Monster's Inc a little bit more. That one is a close race between those movies. Incredibles was fun, too.
