Don't underestimate my computer illiteracy, to me a computer is like a magic box which is an indivisible whole, I'm completely blind to the parts that it's made up of. The more informed answers here sound like abracadabra to me :laughing:

Ah right. I just put in system because every damn question had turned out ending "on your computer" and it just started getting on my nerves. System basically refers to your computer, as in, what's inside it as opposed to what it is. Memory, hard disk(s), graphic card(s), monitor(s) and so forth.

1. Who is/are your favourite director(s) (max 3)?

I'm not enough of a movie buff to bother having favorite directors but Stephen Spielberg's visual storytelling ability is pretty unparalleled. I mean Jurassic Park, Jaws, and Saving Private Ryan are all some of my favorite movies and I couldn't picture anyone else executing them the same way.

2. What's the worst sequel you've ever seen?

I don't know, the Starship Trooper sequels are super lame compared to the original.

3. Who in the movie business do you think does not get the credit they deserve?

Film nerds like to **** on Spielberg for some legit reasons but act like his strengths aren't relevant to the conversation.

4. What genre do you believe Hollywood has overdone at this point?

They overdo everything they don't underdo so I'll subvert the question and say they need more fantasy movies.

5. What book would you like to see made into a movie?

Let's see that Guillermo Deltorro adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness that never happened.

6. Name three of your favourite, and three of your least favourite movies?

Empire Strikes Back, Alien, and Executioners from Shaolin are great but the new Star Wars trilogy can suck my dick.

1. Who is/are your favourite director(s) (max 3)?
Akira Kurosawa and Lukas Moodysson
2. What's the worst sequel you've ever seen?
I really don't know, I don't watch many of those. Maybe Ginger Snaps 2 but I didn't give it a proper chance
3. Who in the movie business do you think does not get the credit they deserve?
I don't know, but shout out to Melanie Lynskey in Heavenly Creatures because I feel like Kate Winslet got most of the attention there because she became so famous
4. What genre do you believe Hollywood has overdone at this point?
Those bloody superhero movies
5. What book would you like to see made into a movie?
I don't really care about book adaptations and if I do (I like a good Jane Austen adaptation) they've already been done. I'm kind of interested in the new series of His Dark Materials
6. Name three of your favourite, and three of your least favourite movies?
Favourite: Fanny and Alexander, Seven Samurai, Ghost World
(contenders: Heathers, Daisies (a psychedelic Chech film from the 60s, which in fact doesn't get the credit it deserves I think) and Show Me Love)
Least favourite: any Woody Allen film I've seen, one of those romcoms with Sarah Jessica Parker which I've banished from memory, and I really don't remember the names of any other awful ones so let's just include Ghost Busters here because it's overrated and people need to realise that

1. Who is/are your favourite director(s) (max 3)?

Stanley Kubrick. Mike Leigh. Quentin Tarantino. Pedro Almodovar. Michael Haneke.

Female directors.

4. What genre do you believe Hollywood has overdone at this point?

Superhero movies obvs.

^^ Are you going to answer all of the questions that have been asked since the thread opened? 13 years ago.

BassoonPlatoon 06-05-2021 09:40 AM

Maybe. I haven't decided yet.
