1. Popcorn or candy?
Gotta say "candy". Popcorn’s good, but then I get thirsty. And so I have to drink. And then I have to pee.
What? TMI?
2. Name a movie you’ve been meaning to see forever.
Wow. There are so many movie classics that I’ve never really seen: Lawrence of Arabia, All About Eve, North By Northwest, All Quiet On The Western Front, Giant, Greed…
Not to mention foreign films that I really should see: Battleship Potemkin, L’Avventura…
3. You are given the power to recall one Oscar: Who loses theirs and to whom?
Russell Crowe in Gladiator.
It should have been yanked out of his hands and given to either Tom Hanks (Castaway) or Ed Harris (Pollack).
4. Steal one costume from a movie for your wardrobe. Which will it be?
For my wardrobe? What am I — a girl?
5. Your favorite film franchise is…
Not much of a film franchise person, myself, but I’d have to say the Indiana Jones trilogy.
6. Invite five movie people over for dinner. Who are they? Why’d you invite them? What do you feed them?
Patty Clarkson, because I haven’t seen her since back when I knew her as a "nobody".
Philip Seymour Hoffman, because I think he’s a smart actor but down-to-earth.
Halle Berry because she’s, well, Helle Barry.
Screenwrite Charlie Kaufman ("Adaptation") because he’s got an interesting mind, I suspect.
Woody Allen, because he’ll be a good storyteller.
Theyll eat whatever I put out — and bring their own.
7. What is the appropriate punishment for people who answer cell phones in the movie theater?
You remember the scene from Braveheart where Mel Gibson yells "Freedom"?
That.
8. Choose a female bodyguard: Ripley from Aliens. Mystique from X-Men. Sarah Connor from Terminator 2. The Bride from Kill Bill. Mace from Strange Days.
Ripley from "Aliens". Duh.
9. What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever seen in a movie?
That head coming out the bottom of the boat when Richard Dreyfuss in underwater in Jaws.
10. Your favorite genre (excluding comedy and drama) is?
Silent.
11. You are given the power to greenlight movies at a major studio for one year. How do you wield this power?
I look for anything that breaks a formula or plays with convention. If the concept can be reduced to "Talladaga Nights meets The Graduate" — or something like that — I’m not interested.
12. Bonnie or Clyde?
Bonnie.
