Getting to know you ... movies!

[amandac]

I was just thinking that it would be really fun to have a few random getting to know you games so we can find out more about each other and maybe find someone here who loves the same sorts of things (apart from digi-scrapping) that we do.....................

So here we go with the first topic -

MOVIES

Tell us a bit about your favourite movie/s or movie genre, and maybe a bit about what you like most about it or them, and if you are looking forward to any particular movies being released soon.

 

[amandac]

ok you know I am going to kick this off ..................

Lets see favourite movies have to be:
Lord of the Ring Trilogy - love love love them
Galaxy Quest - too funny and ironic
Twilight series - well duh!
All the Harry Potter movies - which while not as good as the books still managed to be fabulous
anything Disney Pixar because nobody does animation better
and I do so me a good sci-fi or sword and sorcery type movie!

At the moment I am looking forward to Breaking Dawn ... because I do so love me a nice buff love lorn Shape-shifting hottie ... and the vampires are a bit of all right was well LOL

so tell me what do you like to watch?

 

[Jeanye Labaya]

This is my kind of thread! I am a HUGE movie buff. I own over 500 movies!

I mostly love comedies. Some of my faves are:

Austin Powers - the whole trilogy
Ace Venturas - really any Jim Carrey movie though
Hmmm...I also love Ghost Rider
Tons of Disney/Pixar
Rush Hour - all three
City Clickers 1 and 2
Whew....there are so many more but, I don't want to bore you!

and I just like them because they take me away from reality and any sadness I may have going on. They make me happy and laugh.

 

[amandac]

Oh yes Jeanye I love Austin Powers too! He's Groovey baby!
I do love Jim Carey, he is so..... limber hahaha

I love the escapism of movies too, its like reading - a chance to get away from teh every day drama!

Oh woe is me. :roll: I told you my life is so boring. I haven't seen a movie of any sort for about 18 months. :shock:
Gasp!! Horror!! Shock!! I've even had New Moon since it was released on DVD and haven't even watched it yet. And I do LOVE them vampires.
Well then again I only watch tv late at night when I can't sleep.
I would love to find the time to watch some good movies.
I scrap too much. ROFL Far too much I'm thinking.
Horror are my faves. Then comes a good comedy. Dislike mushy chick flicks.

 

[amandac]

ok Jules that is IT - we are going to have to do a movie date instead of coffee one day! Not seen a movie in 18 months! Inconceivable!!!! AND OMG you haven't seen NEW MOON YET!!!! That is the best one .... love seeing Jake that shape-shifter getting his top off every five minutes!

 

[Mother Bear]

ROFLROFLpretty pathetic aren't I?
Movie date would be great but with my split shift I could only do week ends.

 

[amandac]

hmmm how about a DVD?

 

[Mother Bear]

hmmm how about a DVD?

sounds good...depends on what time we start and how long the DVD goes for...one day I'll have heaps of time...maybe ROFL or is that wishful thinking??

 

[Mother Bear]

Pathetic is not a word that would ever come near you Julie!

You are such a prolific scrapper and amazingly talented.

Well I LOVE movies!

We don't go to the movie per say ... costs too much! Though I splash out and take the kids to the $5 kids flicks on school holidays.

But each weekend we get sent two Quickflix movies and they are great! Don't even have to leave the house ... everything online.

LOVE Lord of the Rings too!

Hubby is into sci-fi ... if it dont have shooting and aliens then boring.

I have got used to that.

Love drama, the odd chick flick, love kids movies! My list goes on and on ...

Last night we watched Agora ... really sad. Tomorrow night hopefully Lincoln Lawyer.

I'm trying to decide whether Quickflix is the way to go Helen .. do you recommend it????

 

[helenh]

Highly! We love listing our movies online and seeing what comes each week.

We are a bit excited about this....

I'm with Amanda on the Twiglight series, I already have my ticket booked to see Breaking Dawn on the 18th November, can't wait!

I also like Harry Potter and read all the books too.

DD did take me to see one of the Saw films, but that was a bit much for me! I told her, I don't mind watching them at home with her on a DVD as I can do the ironing at the same time lol! am I a scardy cat or what!

 

[carleysdigiscraps]

hey everyone, i been a bit awol lately working on new projects. But hopefully im back into the flow of everything...

Love this thread. And im with you Amanda & LouCee, i love Twilight & Harry Potter. When i cant sleep i listen to them on my ipod (audiobook) - great for those 2am moments. Def cant wait til breaking dawn comes out but ill have to wait as thats the day Ella has her surgery (tonsils) so be a couple weeks before i can get to movies.

Also love the kids animations. Our new family favs at moment are Rio, Ice Age 3 & Finding Nemo!

I'm a big Netflix Fan. Before Netflix, I was like Julie, rarely watched a movie. Now I get them every week, and love it.

I just watched Tangled with my grandkids for the first time the other night. LOVED that movie...I think I might have a crush on some of those characters....loved the animation in that film!

I have to say that UP is one of my all-time favorite animated movies...love Mr. Fredrickson

One of my all-time favs is "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Talked all the way home from the theater after that one (and hey, the drive was an hour long, so we REALLY liked it).

I love comedies, dramas, romantic, even action & sci-fi - it just depends on my mood. LOVED the Lord of the Rings movies. I used to love horror movies, but the older I get, the less I like being scared into a heart attack *snicker*

And I know..this may shock some of you, but I LOVED Avatar. I put off seeing it coz I thought it just wasn't my thing. I was wrong. I now own it

 

[helenh]

Our Quickflix is your Netflix Fayette.

I figured that's what it was, Helen. Gotta love getting movies when you want them without going anywhere, huh?

 

[helenh]

You betcha!!
