Round Robin

I loved having Nige over as we could yak on about films all day long if allowed. Strange that I was talking about round robin e mails with him last night and hey presto I recieved one such e mail from another friend tonight.
Had a relaxing few minutes filling it all in:-

1Q:Do you ever go to the cinema on your own?
A. Yes, actually I prefer to watch a film alone if I can, but usually only for afternoon showings. I love being in a cinema totally alone

2Q: what was the first film do you remember going to see in the cinema?
A: “The sound of Music” in the scala, Prestatyn. With Janet (twin) and mother. I think my Aunt Greta was there too. I was bored but liked the nuns (how gay was that even then?>>>)

3Q: Have you ever “made out” with a girl on the back row?
A: strange as this may seem, I have………tee hee…….It was a long long time ago and I must have hated the film in question (It was The Cassandra Crossing). No I don’t remember her name.

4Q: Tub of ice cream or popcorn?
A: oh Ice cream every time

5Q: What is the film that MOST disappointed you?
A: As a teenager it was Airport 79-The Concord and Beyond the Poseidon Adventure….(truly awful disaster films) Recently Elizabeth- the golden age was a major let down.

6Q: Subtitles? Can you do them and what foreign films do you rate?
A: I love world cinema…….too many films to mention really but lets see: A very long Engagement, Amelie, Central Station, La vie en Rose, The Orphanage, The Chorus, Ne la,dis a personne, talk to her, All About My Mother, Pans labyrinth,

7Q: What film did you last cry at?
A: I had a sniff at the end of The Savages, when Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman ( as brother and sister) fall asleep together after the death of their father…..( a beautiful and subtle scene)

8Q: Have you ever walked out of a film?
A: Many many times………I just won’t put up with a terrible movie. The last film I walked out of was with Hazel….I don’t remember the title of it…it was that bad!

9Q: What 1940’s films have you loved?
A……another easy question, , Mrs Miniver, Key Largo, I remember Mama, Went the day well, Mildred Pierce, to name but a few

10Q: Have you seen a porn film in a cinema?
A: no fraid not………..I get dreadfully embarrassed if there is a graphic sex scene in a general film. Having said this I did see a dvd called “Banged up-Male prisoners on the loose” once……no Oscars for excellent acting there……nuff said

11Q: Which film star/ film character do you find sexy?
A: hummmm……..Russell Crowe in Gladiator would be number one (of course), Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain would be a close second ( I know he’s too young for me); runner ups would be Peter Sarsgaard in Kinsey, Damien Lewis ( even if he is a ginger) in Band of Brothers and Robert Mitchum in anything …

12.Q: Which star surprised you by being sexy on screen?
A; What a strange question? Erm probably Peter Dinklage in The Station Agent.

13.Q Who is your favourite child actor?
A: Easy…..Joseph Mazzello in Shadowlands…….I cried buckets at his scenes with the sobbing Anthony Hopkins

14.Q: How often would you like to go to the movies
A: Every day………
