Movie questions

Filed under: — Aprille @ 3:09 pm

Oooh, I’ve been tagged by Lettie.

1) Total Number of films we own on dvd: Not very many, really. Maybe…20? 25?
2) The last film I bought: Oh, gosh, I don’t even remember. I did, however, put Clash of the Titans , one of my all-time favorites, on my wedding registry.
3) The last film I watched on DVD: We rented Meet the Fockers a weekend or two ago. It was so-so all around, but there were some very funny moments. In a theater: I think it was Sin City. We’re going to Batman Begins tomorrow.
4) Five films I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:
a. Rosemary’s Baby: Cheesey Satanic plot elements aside, this movie is a really chilling depiction of the way women’s concerns are ignored in the medical field. Mia Farrow is great in it.
b. Bob Roberts: Hilarious and horrifying brain child of Tim Robbins (who writes, directs, and stars) about a right-wing folksinger running for Senate.
c. Deconstructing Harry: Probably my favorite Woody Allen movie–it’s got all the usual elements, but best of all, this movie puts me in the mood to write.
d. The Man With Two Brains: Good old Steve Martin. I love that guy. He will always be Dr. Hfuhruhurr to me.
e. Blue Velvet: Remember the weird shape Laura Dern’s mouth makes when she finds out about Kyle Maclachlan’s relationship with Isabella Rossellini? It’s hilarious!

I now tag…Holly. I was going to tag Daphne, but all her favorite movies are probably The Wiggles.

I’m feeling better today. Nothing’s solved, but I’m feeling confident that things will work out. The museum person, after exchanging several emails with DC, wrapped things up by saying, “Let’s not worry about the tent right now.” Um…easy for you to say. But whatev. Thanks for the supportive comments, those who offered them. They helped a lot.

I would also mention that it was exactly one year ago today that my sweet, wonderful DC proposed. And–get this–this morning he even gave me an “anniversary of engagement” gift. What a sweet puppy. We’re celebrating tonight by cleaning the house and going to Target. I don’t like cleaning, but I do like Target. I hope to get an armband for my iPod Shuffle (they were out last time).

OK, I need your advice, loyal readers. I want to get Denny a gift, but I can’t decide which of the following I like best. (Denny, don’t click these links.) If you are so inclined, leave a comment saying which one you like best–please refer to them by number, so the surprise won’t be ruined if Denny reads the comments. I’m asking for a little self-control here, DC.

Option one
Option two
Option three
Option four
Option five
