jackwabbit Name a movie that you really wish would be re-made so they’d get it right.
Sahara.
Name a book you’d like to see made into a movie.
Um...just can't think of any right now...
Name a book you hope is never made into a movie, because they’d ruin it.
No more Dirk Pitt adventures until they find the right Dirk.
Name a stage show (musical or not) you hope is never made into a movie, because they’d ruin it; or that you wish had never been made into a movie, because they did ruin it!
Les Miserables.
How often do you watch movies at home, as opposed to in the theatre? (The other half of the original question!)
A few times a week.
How many movies do you own?
Um...250?
How many TV shows (shows and/or number of seasons)?
X-Files 1-9, SG-1 1-10, SGA 1-3, MacGyver 1-7, Greatest American Hero 1-2, FIREFLY.
Any other DVD watchables that are neither movies nor TV shows?
Comedy performances, music/performance. A few.
How often do you re-watch DVDs?
More often than I see new moves/shows, etc...by a LOT.
What’s your video equivalent of comfort food?
The X-Files, Stargate SG-1, Firefly - probably in that order.
Have you ever read a book because the movie was really good?
Yes. 'Jurassic Park' And the recent talking animal movies made me read The Chronicles of Narnia, which somehow I'd missed as a kid. (OH, wait...it wasn't Star Wars or Star Trek, so, um, OF COURSE I missed it!)
Have you ever read a book because the movie was really bad?
Nope.
Have you ever refused to see a movie because the book was really good? Really bad?
Probably the latter, but I don't recall. And it took me forever to see Sahara because Dirk Pitt is the book hero love of my life.
Name a book that was made into a good movie, especially if you didn't think it could be done.
Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Name a movie that you’d like to see re-made with your Dream Cast, and some key members of that cast.
Can't really think of one...unless you count the prequels. You know, THE prequels. This would be done, for one thing...
Sahara.

Trying to write a Firefly fic as we 'speak', but...well...having fun here...
You know I have a dog named Hobie, right?
Goes by Hobie Wan Kenobi.
Oh, yes. He does.

Date: May. 31st, 2008 03:33 am (UTC)I'm such a loser! All I have is ALL the Marvel comics, the books, every blasted version of the VHS tapes and DVDS, the SW soundtrack ALBUM, the SW radio show, a Princess Leia doll whose hair bun things came out, and, get this, a husband who has NEVER seen Star Wars. (He did take me to see AOTC for my birthday but that movie certainly did not make him a fan. I'm kinda surprised he didn't divorce me after I made him sit through it!)

Date: May. 31st, 2008 03:51 am (UTC)A few figures here and there.
A few autographs...well...three that I can think of...
And a home-made Jedi costume. It's not the best, but it gets the point across. My hubby (who only tolerate my sci-fi addiction, but does not really share it) made it. The dogs have one, too. Previous dog? Molly Wan Kenobi. To be fair, neither Molly or Hobie was named for SW per se...it just works to add the surname. However, my youngest dog IS named Stormtrooper...and yeah...it's from SW. Suits him.
As for your hubby, well...these things happen.
Thus is life.
