The First Sickness' Cinema Meme

Right here.

What is your...?
1. Favorite movie: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is my favorite movie, but I think Lawrence of Arabia is the greatest movie ever made.
2. Favorite movie to come back to time and again: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
3. Best movie that you never want to see again: I can't think of a movie so good I wouldn't want to see it again... I can understand if something was too painful, but for me the artistry wins out over the pain.
4. Last great movie you saw in a theater: I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and loved it.
5. Last great movie you saw on DVD: Local Hero

How do you feel about...?
1. The ending of Iron Man: That was a great fanboy moment.
2. Jason Segel taking control of the Muppets: Cautiously optimistic. I haven't seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall yet, but I'm glad they're letting somebody do something with the Muppets.
3. Manohla Dargis' last editorial in the New York Times about women in film: I understand her frustrations (I'd like to see more movies about women, too), but her "argument," such as it is, is intellectually dishonest.
4. The MTV Movie Awards: Lame.
5. Ellen Page as Jane Eyre: That's just weird, really. I mean, maybe she can do it, but since I've only seen her play the same character in every film I've seen her in, I'm not sure who looks at that character and says "I've got it! Jane Eyre!"

Who is your...?
1. Favorite Actor: Christopher Lee
2. Favorite Actress: I'm not sure...
3. Favorite Actor (deceased): Just too many good ones to pick...
4. Favorite Actress (deceased): Same as above.
5. Favorite Director: Terry Gilliam

Which do you prefer...?
1. Sub-titles or dubbing: I'm not a prig about it, like some people I know. I like subtitles, if only because I like to hear an actor's performance, but if it's animation, which is dubbed anyway, I don't really care.
2. Kurt Russell or Bruce Campbell: I love them both. I've always wanted to see them in the same movie together, actually. And I'd love for it to somehow be a sequel to Big Trouble in Little China.
3. Buttered Popcorn or Salted Popcorn: I don't eat popcorn at the movies very often, but if I do, neither one. I have high blood pressure and that moviehouse butter tastes a little too non-food-based for me.
4. Ambiguity or clarity: Whatever serves the purposes of the story.
5. Characters or plot: Why choose only one? Even though, you know, most films seem to choose only one?

Have Bruce Campbell and Kurt Russell in a movie together and make it a sequel crossover of Army of Darkness/Big Trouble in Little China - and I'd probably soil myself in excitement.
