Name 5 actors you would love to meet, and why. What would you want to do to, or with them? Leonardo DiCaprio first and foremost because I absolutely love all his characters and think I would like to further understand his acting process. He's also really into politics and the environment like me. He also likes scotch, my drink of choice, so we could hang out. Oh, and he's dead sexy. Same goes for George Clooney and Brad Pitt, they're smart, politically engaged, and still cool. Last, probably Zooey Deschanel, because I love her.

Do any movies make you cry? Sometimes...

If so, name five that do. Cries and Whispers sometimes, The Passion of Joan of Arc almost every time, Bowling for Columbine every single time I see the scene from the security cameras of those two actually shooting people. That's it, really.


Do any movies make you laugh so hard that you cry? I think I've only laughed so hard I cried once.

Have you ever played Musical Chairs? That's a pretty nervewracking game, too, isn't it? I was so awesome at musical chairs. But I hate this game, because the slowest person is essentially ostracized from a group. And everyone knows when you fail, because you're the only one standing. Man, I hate Musical Chairs.

Which is more nervewracking: Simon or Musical Chairs? Musical chairs is more psychologically damaging to fat kids.Simon is a true gentleman's game.

If you could walk the Red Carpet with any celeb who would it be and why?

Have you ever pissed on something/someone to put out a fire?

Probably Holden Pike, cuz he'd criticize everything about the movie, and I like that.

Start a band with? Brodinski just seems cool. I'd play guitar, Brodinski could sing.

Make a movie with? The Usual Suspects, because we had an interesting conversation on the 35mm vs. digital thread and I think he knows a lot about the technical side of filmmaking.

Listen to old records with? mark f, cuz in my head he's an old crazy dude with an awesome record collection. But I've never seen him, I could be wrong.

Listen to old records with? mark f, cuz in my head he's an old crazy dude with an awesome record collection. But I've never seen him, I could be wrong.

I always wanted to be an f.

No, that's pretty accurate. And I should know.

Frozen pizzas = win. I love buying 2 or 3 of those $1 Gino's ones, or some kind of generic equivalent. They're small enough that you can fold them and eat them like a taco.

I'm making myself hungry.

Why should you know. Is he your husband? Brother? Friend? Father? Do you just know because you stalk him?
