How would you like us to think of you?
I would like people to think of me as someone full of personality and honesty, who aren't afraid to speak his mind on serious debates and also poke fun at things that some may not find appropriate to poke fun at. I'm a a bit of a provocateur at times, I guess, but almost always for the fun of it. Ultimately though, despite joking here and there as everyone does, I would like to be taking seriously and not looked down upon. I like when people talk to each other on the same level, no matter their differences, but I generally think this forum does that well. Overall I find it hard to complain about anything, which is obviously good, and I think this forum of members generally think of me just about how I want them to. So it's all good!
Have you ever made your own cakes/biscuits/cookies?
Which do you like more; sequels or reboots and why?
I would say sequels, because often they try to stay mostly true to their roots and create something that continues what you loved about whatever the sequel might originate from. You could say there is a bigger chance of a sequel being successful in terms of "flowing in the same vein" as the original, than a reboot does, because with a reboot you have more freedom to literally reboot the entire series or movie universe and make something completely different. Sometimes sequel goes in other directions as well, but you know what I mean...
What was the last programme you 'discovered'?
Which actor/actress would you like to see make more films?

Why do you feel the need to ditch people in a commentary?
I didn't ditch you because I felt a need to, usually I would just hang in there, I'm not the type of person to do such things. But if I have to be honest it was due to health problems. I've been feeling various things and symptoms lately, which kind of "topped" today. I will make an appointment with a doctor tomorrow morning. I really hope it isn't too serious.
Why do you feel no regrets on doing it?

What's your favorite part about ditching?
Then I lay down and cry in fetal position because of how bad of a person I really am.

Dinner party question: Which six guests and why?
Since I guess I can choose between living and dead, I would definitely have Robin Williams as one of them. Actually, he could make up for six entire guests, so I guess that would really be all I needed. That man was amazing, and I loved his energy and personality. Such a shame he's gone.
I know it's not just about actors, but I'm gonna say Paul Walker too. This is not because of his acting in any ways though, as I admired his personality more than anything. He seemed so calm and down to earth. He would be a pleasure to talk to. But his brother, Cody, seems to be full of heart and with a nice soul as well, so if his brother is "unable to attend", I would love to have him at my table.
Then I would have Emma Watson because she's cute and hot as f*ck; I would have R. Kelly both as a guest and as the musical contribution to the party; and I would have someone who I could have thoughtful and philosophical discussions with. Not sure who would fit that description though. Since it's living or dead I guess I could take one of the originators like Aristotle or something haha.
Lastly, I would have my grandpa, before all his health problems, back when he was full of energy and spirit. Today he unfortunately suffers from both alzheimer, parkinson, and blood clots in the brain on monthly basis. I hope he gets his peace soon...
Which musical instrument do you dislike/hate the most?
Do you own a weapon?
No really, I live in Denmark so I'm not really allowed to have one and I don't see why I need one either.

I had a really good friend for many years, but we kind of went our separate ways...

Once I wrote a poem on MoFo and you said it moved you to tears. You've expressed similar feelings over movies that deeply touch you, like Boyhood.
Can you talk about how the written word or movies can move you so deeply?
On the flip side, what type of literature or movies can move you to a dark despair?
Would you say you have an artist soul?

These are very good questions, Citizen, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.*
*
I don't remember the poem, but I would love if you could link it to me so I could refresh it.
I don't even remember saying that Boyhood neccesarily touched me deeply, though I did relate to it and I did feel a strong connection. But I'm gonna answer further in your next question...
Well, without answering your last question too much within this question, I will say it goes together with "having an artist soul" or at least feel artistic enough to bond with other people through their art, even when they, themselves, are not present in person.*
I guess that's also why I enjoy such a great variation of art and entertainment, or just have a varied taste in everything really. I just love art and to see and feel people expressing themselves. I have realized it isn't everyone who gets as emotionally invested in something as I sometimes do, but I guess it's simply because I'm not only affected by what is happening on screen, I'm also affected by how it's happening, meaning how it's done and the actual art within it. I've even experienced being moved by an action scene, not because it's emotional in any way, but simply if it's done so well. Same goes with story element or dialogue or whatever. I've tried to be on the verge of crying or at least be completely speechless and covered in emotions because of something that may be nothing to others... Well, I know many people also feel some of these things, but to some exent I'm pretty sure I have a stronger and somehow different connection to whatever I'm watching/reading/experiencing.*
Same thing with words, though mostly it's because I simply create the image in my head and feel the emotion of which the writer had when writing it. I guess that's pretty basic stuff though.
So yeah, a combination of respecting the art, feeling the art, and just the movie/writings in general.
That's a tough one. I guess just very depressing stuff and things of hopelessness...
Yes I would definitely say I have. It sounds a little too overly confident saying such thing, but I can't deny that I think it's true. I feel like I always think in the veins of art; I live and breathe art. And if I'm not the artist, then I'm the one enjoying the artist and his/her art. *
That's why I want to be a director. I feel like I have the vision to create grand things. I feel like I can express myself through anything, any form, and I love doing it. But I don't feel like I have come close yet to the full potetial of what I'm capable of. I hope I will some day.*

These aren't very deep questions, but I was just wondering these.
What would you say is the best part of No Country for Old Men, and why?
How would you rank all the Coen films you have seen (don't say a list, give me one haha)?
What films are you looking forward to the most in 2015 other than Star Wars?
When do you want to do that commentary that we have been putting off?
How would you rank the PTA films you have seen?

Thanks for your answers MM. I knew you had an artist soul, I didn't know you wanted to be a director. You make a good director too.
I can't believe this hasn't already been asked but, who is your favorite director and why?

BUT, that doesn't mean I didn't think it was well-written. It felt like a poem and it was much better than what I expected from anyone, really. So yeah, not to hurt your feelings, but the exact words were over the top in my delivery, and I didn't actually cry, but it was a great poem definitely!
Talking about poems, I did actually cry for real over one recently. It was one written by MovieGal, who wrote it to a friend who was lonely. That went straight in my heart, so yes, I can definitely get touched by such things, as I talked about above.
I can't believe this hasn't already been asked but, who is your favorite director and why?
I find it hard to pick a favorite director since I have such a varied taste. I like many different directors for different reasons, but up until Inherent Vice I felt like Paul Thomas Anderson was definitely my favorite director. Not that a director can't make something that isn't up to par, and then he will be pushed to the side... I still like him a whole lot, and he is probably still my favorite director.
I like him because of the way he tells stories, he seems to always deliver something so unique and different. His movies are almost like poems to me, like if they hold so much to them it's almost impossible to grasp it all. I also like his visuals and the music he puts in his films. He is amazing at doing montages as well, where both his visuals and sense of musical artistry really get to shine. His one-takes are beautiful as well.
So yeah, I guess the most simplistic and straight forward answer is: it is a director I can connect with and that I feel goes hand in hand with what I like to see and feel with a movie.

Oh.... I missed this. I will now answer (just call me Gideon)
That's a very, very tough question. Guess that's why it took so long for me to answer.
One of those five would definitely be Robin Williams. Such a kind, loving, understanding, humble and not the least funny man. Others would be Paul Walker, Lars von Trier, Quentin Tarantino, Shakespeare obviously, Martin Luther King...
I guess I could have put more thought into this. Or maybe it's just so hard I'm never satisfied.
Any other questions y'all? I'm in question mood!

Why didn't you call yourself MovieMedication??
That's why I called myself MovieMeditation. The artform that is cinema is where I can disappear into a world and let the movie stimulate all the senses in the body; emotionally, interlectually and whatnot. It's like rediscovering yourself sometimes, who you are and what you stand for in life.... so yeah, my name is more meaningful (at least I like to think it is) than what meets the eye.
