Six Question Saturdays: Who Doesn't Like The Movies?!

1. Where in the theater do you like to sit when you’re at the movies?

I prefer to either sit right in the middle of the row or right on the end, with no one sitting in front of me so I can put my feet up on the seat in front. Usually more towards the back or so that my eye level is directly in the middle of the screen.

2. What characteristics does the ideal movie companion have?

I think that someone who is able to laugh at the same parts that you laugh at is good...the sense of humor needs to be there. And someone who will tolerate me making random comments about the movie at various points in time is important too. Especially if watching it at home like a rental...

3. What memory do you have of things not going quite as usual at the movies?

When I went to see Titanic for maybe the 7th time (yeah...don't judge!) the film itself broke just as Jack and Rose were floating waiting for help (and Rose's eventual murder of Jack.) They tried to fix it and were successful for another five minutes of the scene, but it broke again because they had played it so many times. We all got free tickets to see it again sometime in the next week.

4. What are your feelings about commercials and movie previews playing before the film you’re there to see?

I love previews, and think it's kind of amusing how different theaters will show different previews before the same movie. I hate commercials though, and the ads for buying at the concession stands. It always says "concessions provided by..." but no one is giving me free concessions!

5. Who is an actor or director whose involvement in a film is enough to make you want to see it?

Bradley Cooper...duh! How else do you think I forced myself to sit through A Place Beyond the Pines?! (Ryan Gosling isn't bad either in it, but he reminds me too much of a certain ex-boyfriend. Ryan Reynolds is great too, not only to look at, but his snarky attitude that carries through is fabulous.) As for director...you know that anything by Todd Phillips is going to be funny too.

6. What was the last movie you saw in theaters and at home?

I saw Turbo with my campers on Tuesday...it was pretty great. At home...I just watched Thor for the first time last night. Not really too much a fan of that one...Natalie Portman kind of annoys me.

Makes Me Feel Better Every Time!

Those eyes, that smile with insanely perfect teeth, the hair, and fluent in French...I could be having the worst day in the world, and this is the man to make me feel better. Now I just need to find a real one...lol.

Six Question Saturdays: Eenie Meenie Minie Mo...

1.The Seven Dwarfs are Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Grumpy, Dopey, Happy, and Doc. Which would be the easiest role for you to play today?

Today would be Sleepy. I just got home from two weeks of conferences late last night and had to be up early this morning, plus I have to work the night shift tonight...this girl is tired!


2. Santa’s eight tiny reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. Which would be the most apt nickname for you today?

Dancer. I'm always Dancer...because I'm constantly dancing around.


3. The kids on Eight is Enough were David, Mary, Joanie, Susan, Nancy, Elizabeth, Tommy, and Nicholas. Which of these names have you known the highest number of? Which of these the least?

I know a lot of Elizabeth's, but I don't know many Joanie's...


4. The creatures in the Chinese zodiac are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, goat, horse, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Forget which one you are according to the calendar; which one do you imagine yourself most like?

I imagine myself most like the one that I actually am...the dog. Loyal to my friends and family, reliable, easily excitable, and able to find fun in nearly everything.


5. Each of the Five Chinese Brothers had a special talent: One could swallow the entire sea; one had an iron neck; one could hold his breath forever, one could stretch his legs as far as he needed; one could withstand fire. Which of these peculiarities would have been most useful to you this past week?

Holding my breath forever...that way, I wouldn't have had to smell the disgusting water at the first conference and the mold in the AC in my hotel room at the second one.


6. Which Harry Potter character are you the most like, and why?

Hermione definitely resonated with me. She can get herself out of pickles by using her brain, and she's good to her friends.
