😁omg Sheridan you’re the best! 😁
>> For the Film Asks:
2. Is there an actress you’ll watch any film for?3. Is there an actor you’ll watch any film for?Hmm no, not really. I'm definitely more inclined to watch a thing if it has an actor or actress I adore, but I can’t think of someone I’d watch anything for.
4. Name a film cliche you hate?Oh man, there are a hundred things I could say, but I am such a complete sucker for super cheesy dramatic romance onscreen — especially the tropes where lovers who have been separated are reunited, or one of them is falling over themselves to help/defend the other, who’s been hurt or upset in some way, etc. SO by extension, I fucking hate it when a story sets itself up for that and doesn’t do it. Like something happens to one of the lovers, but we don’t get to see the other react to it in real time, or even at all. I want to see characters WEEPING IN EACH OTHER’S ARMS over the PROFUNDITY OF THEIR FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER. Don’t bill yourself as a romantic drama and NOT GIVE THAT TO ME.
(I guess the lack of a trope you like isn’t really the same thing as a “flim cliche you hate” but I’m rolling with it).
5. Name a film cliche you love?Dramatically Reunited Lovers™ (see above, lol).
6. Is there a film that freaked you out as a child?I was terrified of absolutely everything as a child (and honestly still am), but growing up I remember being very scared of the classic Disney villains, made all the worse because being a little kid in the ‘90s, they were absolutely everywhere. I was especially scared of Ursula, Maleficent, and Cruella de Vil and I never wanted to watch those movies. I’ve come to love The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty, but I actually still won’t watch 101 Dalmatians.
8. What’s your favorite adaption of a book?I mean I think it’s my responsibility to say Pride and Prejudice (2005).
14. Your favorite film that everyone else seems to hate?I guess I’m sorta forgiving of the Star Wars prequels? They’re obviously not the OT, and I pretty much agree with every criticism, but tbh they still do some cool stuff. I also think what’s-his-name was a perfectly fine Anakin.
16. Five films you’d choose to have if you were stuck on a desert island?Ok, so these are not necessarily good films or even my favorite films, but they’re some of the ones I am down to watch over and over:
Mr. Right
Nerve
Singin’ in the Rain
Dakota Skye
Need for Speed
26. If they remade any film today, what film would you choose?I LOVE car movies. There was an entire era of them in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and I think it could be pretty cool to start remaking some of those. Or at least get back to that style of film.
27. If they adapted any book today, what book would you choose?I can’t believe they haven’t tried to make movies out of those Marissa Meyer post-punk fairytale retellings. Those are BEGGING to be on screen.
Similarly, I just finished the Stars of Fortune trilogy by Nora Roberts and IMHO it could make a truly fantastic Netflix miniseries.
