Cinema Of The Absurd

The Friday Five:

1. What's your favorite line from a movie, and why?
"Something interesting is gonna happen here", from Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party. Because if you've seen the movie, it's true. I tend to bandy that phrase about from time to time when the opportunity appears to arise.

2. Who's your favorite villain from a movie, and why?
As far as genuinely scaring the living snot outta me? The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard Of Oz. Absolutely nothing redeeming or even slightly ameliorating about her, which I find wonderfully refreshing these days, yet still sends me trembling under the bed every time she appears on the screen. Eghad, even her death was unspeakably horrifying. Yep, still deeply, delightfully traumatizing after all these years.

3. Name one movie everyone else loves that you hate.
Any of those Matrix movies.

4. Name one movie everyone else hates that you love.
See Question #1.

5. What's your favorite Pixar film, and why?
Toy Story 2. Loved the first one, but enjoyed the second just a touch more. Why? Toys, baby. Walking, talking toys. And does this officially count as two Tom Hanks movies on my top list? You all may expect my Cool Club Card returned in the mail. Give it a good home, whydoncha.
