Eh, you're the first person to answer anything, so the question is yours! :)
(P.S. Steven Tyler voiced a rock & roll singing elf in The Polar Express - no, seriously!)
I thought you were gonna say she was related to Ronnie James Dio...
Oh, I am sorry. I didn't realize it was my turn.
What was the best film released in 2012?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Django Unchained, mofo!
Favorite movie, other than the above, featuring slavery?
Hmm. That's a good one. Hmmm.
What is your favorite Western and you can only answer if you haven't answered that question before?
|

I think I can go with Once more with Feeling since it is a TV show special and thus close to a movie...
Favorite movie version of a stage musical or opera?
A toss-up between My Fair Lady and Cabaret.
What movie are you most excited about in 2013?
|
|
Unnggg...can't decide...have to go with three movies:
Much Ado about Nothing
Sin City 2
Ender's Game
I would have to add Pacific Rim, too, but as far as I know it isn't confirmed for 2013.
Favorite movie of 2012 you didn't know anything about before you watched it or had very low expectations? If there isn't any that came out in 2012, go with an older movie that you first saw 2012.

I'd say Norwegian Ninja but I have already used that movie a time or two. How about Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy damn also used that one. Ah I saw a movie called Hunter Prey on the netflix watch it now. Cool little sci-fi movie.
I know its been answered but im kind of excited for the new Evil Dead looks like a good movie. The Star Trek into the darkness or whatever I have to say its about time! The one I am most curious about is Riddick. I wonder if its a reboot or if it will continue where the chronicles left off? Least excited about will be Fast and Furious 6, Kick ass 2, and Hangover 3.
What movie are you most/least excited about in 2013? Lets keep her going!
Also the hobbit:
What actor spans the Nuremberg trials and the next generation
Burt Lancaster who was 32 at the start of the Nuremberg trials and went on to live until the mid-'90s.
He was also in a film called Judgment at Nuremberg with some baby-faced chubby kid named Bill Shatner.
Favorite movie that takes place with 24 hours or less?

It's not absolutely certain, but it seems reasonable to say that Inside Man happens within about 24ish hours (or at least over the course of two consecutive days, starting sometime in the middle of the day on the first and probably winding up the same on the next day).
OOPS - NINJA'D
Alrighty, in response to Pan's question, I don't know if they're the "best" movies with time travel, but I'm a big fan of The Final Countdown and Star Trek: First Contact.
Favorite superhero movie you WISH would get made that is not presently on the schedule (at least as far as has been publicly revealed)?
Willow!
Most entertaining movie with a boat?

No one has any favorite Sea Monsters?
Here, let me help you? Just pick three from below or find others that suits you:
1.) The Kraken in Pirates of the Carribean - Dead Man's Chest
2.) The Kraken in Clash of the Titans either 1981 or 2010 or both.
3.) Sea Serpent in The Chronicles of Narnia - Voyage of the Dawn Treader
4.) Bruce our friendly Great White in Jaws
5.) The Giant Squid in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
6.) Godzilla in whatever number of Godzilla movies you want to choose.
7.) Genetically engineered Sharks in Deep Blue Sea
8.) The Orca in Orca
9.) Sea Creature in Deep Star Six
10.) Shartopus from the Syfy TV movie. Just kidding! This one doesn't count. Syfy movies are not real movies. ;)
I thought about it, Mazra, but I couldn't think of one in 30 seconds and my attention drifted.
But now that you've got them all listed out: 7). I love that movie!
Next poster must post a link to his favorite scene in all of moviedom.

I like the shark in Megashark vs Giant Octopus... any shark that jumps and swallows a flying airplane is way cool in my book. Favourite scene...? In all of moviedom? Guh.
Okay... try this: Something that should be well known.
What is the scariest scene you've seen in a movie?
|
|
Wow...
so many great scenes spring to mind, from Terminator to Alien, Lord of the Rings to Shoot'em Up, Strange Days, Pulp Fiction, Girl wit the Dragon Tatoo, Brotherhood of Wolves, Princess Mononoke...
But this scene is branded into my memory since I first saw that movie, so I'll go with it.

The throw-up guy in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (Mr. Creosote, I believe).
Having just watched the last two Harry Potter movies after getting them on sale on blu-ray for Christmas, and being reminded of how delightful many of the actors were but especially my absolute favorite, Evanna Lynch as the dreamily delightful Luna Lovegood, how about this:
What is the character from a book adapted into a movie that you think was the most perfect embodiment of that character - the kind of character that makes you say "that's EXACTLY how he/she should be"?
If it had just been character from a book portrayed by an actor in any media, I'd have answered Alec Guiness in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy or the kid who plays Joffrey in Game of Thrones, but in movies I'll probably go with Jeremy Brent as Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Sign of Four.
Now, if they ever do an 87th Precinct movie with Mark Harmon as Steve Carella...
(This question made me realise how few of the books I've read have actually been turned into movies.)
Edit: Great performance from an actor that you thought were completely wrong for the role before seeing the movie (which should be based on a novel, short story, or comic book)?
There aren't as many "Loose cannon cop with jerk captain yelling at him" movies as you might think, despite the rather excellent send up in The Last Action Hero. Often the value of the loose cannon is recognised by his superior, the flak is coming form other bureaucracts. The rank of Captain also limits you to American films, or those using American rank structures.
Removing a few of these limitations,my top five loose cannon cop films are:
The Killer (John Woo, 1989). Detective Li Ying is certainly unpopular with his superiors, though senior officers of the HKPF do not resort to yelling. This isn't really a 'cop' film but its in my top ten of all time. If "I believe in justice but no one believes in me" doesn't sum up a rouge cop, I don't know what does.
Dirty Harry. Surely the archetype of loose cannon cops. Of course he has the support of his superiors, its the Mayor's office that hates him.
Uomini Si Nasce Poliziotto Si Muore or Live Like a Cop Die Like a Man (Ruggero Deodato, 1976), Italian Poliziotteschi might have grown out out of Dirty Harry and Death Wish, plus the polictical violence of 1970s Italy, but the two cops of this film (though acting with the tacit support of their superior) make other loose cannons look like wuss bags.
Elite Squad: the Enemy Within, (Jose Padilha, 2010). Well Nascimento is actually a captain himself, but he certainly p****d off enough other cops and politicans with his honesty to count as a loose cannon.
and lastly, Lone Wolf McQuade, an American explotation classic. McQuade really should transfer to Italy (not to mention the spagetti western influences) or somewhere where he can get away with his mass slaughter. His use of 'resurrection beer' has reached legendary status in my gaming circles. Isn't this when Norris grows his beard???
Favourite Italian film from the 1970s?
Novocento
Favourite Bertolucci film?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Tony Leung Chiu-Wai in In the Mood for Love
Favourite film set in Hong Kong?
Tai-Pan
Favourite movie about drug-smuggling.
Hrm. Gonna have to go with Coming to America, but I like almost all of his movies.
Favorite film adaptation of Arthurian myth?
Does anything come close to Boorman's Excalibur?? I really really like Django, I mean Franco Nero in Camelot, he's inspired just about my only ever bard PC, but still.
If you want to expand just a little, Fritz Lang's Die Nibelungen kicks all kinds of a***, with part 2 in particular showing how being extremely lawful neutral feudalistic leads to some truely hoorible consequences.
Best use of Wagner's music on a soundtrack (and yea try for something that isn't being played from helicopters)?

A lot of good ones, actually, including some underrated but entertaining roles in Death Becomes Her, the Jackal, and, of course, the legendary Beavis and Butthead Do America (saw it at the theater with my then-brother-in-law, and actually it was pretty funny), but I'd probably go with The Fifth Element.
Favorite 3 Gary Oldman movies/roles, other than the above?
George Smiley in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Stansfield in Léon, and finally
Rosencrantz in Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are Dead
Three favourite John Hurt movies/roles?
