projectjulie, per therapeutic prescription from runpunkrun who is helping me learn to ease back in to LJ society. To wit:
1) Total number of films I own on DVD/video:
Video: Countless. VCD: Countless. DVD: Two. (Starship Troopers, becausethassalia still has it, and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, because we bought it when J. was here.) The rest I've sold back to Amoeba and/or eBay.
2) The last film I bought:
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, natch.
3) The last film I watched:
National Treasure, thanks to Bron's rental. Satisfying! Surprisingly funny! With this sort of surreal overture toward "ancient American history" which is just so FUNNY in a country that's two hundred years young.
4) Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me:
A) Starship Troopers -- sexy, funny, farcical, FULL of fabulous bugs and RICH with Paul Verhoeven's anti-war anti-fascism satire.
B) Cube (and Cube 2: Hypercube, and Cube Zero) -- I could spend all day in a dystopian post-industrialized prison full of BOOBY TRAPS and puzzles!
C) The Sound of Music -- best Nazi musical ever. And YES I'm including The Producers and Cabaret, smite me, strike me down, I love the curtain-wearing children and I ain't afraid to admit it. NO one solves a problem like Maria, and NO one has ever been so in love as Georg, who admits it's impossible to marry one woman when you're in love with someone else.
D) Primary Colors -- I don't care if John Travolta *is* a Scientologist; in this movie he's Clinton and I LOVE him. Not to mention Adrien wossname, not to mention Emma Thompson as picture-perfect Hillary, and, in the category of OH MY GOD SHE WAS FUCKING ROBBED AT THE OSCARS, Kathy Bates gives the performance of her career, and soundly sums up what it's like for an idealist who still belives in the Democratic Party despite being REPEATEDLY screwed over and disappointed, time and time again.
E) Until the End of the World -- this isn't out on DVD yet. I'm cheating at this meme. I don't care. Blame Australia.
Love,
me
