Three Liebster Awards

Happy September everyone ๐Ÿ™‚

I want to begin my September by answering questions given to me through Liebster Award.

First of allโ€ฆthank you for Michael at It Rains…You Get Wet, Andina at Inspired Ground, and Caroline at Beauty Is A Sleeping Cat for nominating me this award. I have received something similar months ago. You can read their interesting questions and my not so interesting answers here ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think Liebster is one of the most creative blog awards because it makes people thinkโ€ฆthinking about writing the questions and about answering questions given to the nominees. I will answer the question but will not create any questions at all because I canโ€™t choose so few out of so many great blogger friends I haveโ€ฆand I am terribly with making questions ๐Ÿ˜‰

First the set of questions from my dear fellow movie lover, Michael at It Rains…you get wet.

Here then are his questionsโ€ฆ

  1. What is your favorite book about cinema (whichever type of book, covering any kind of film genre)?

Although I am a book worm but I donโ€™t like reading non-fiction. The only non-fiction I am interested with is Science Bookโ€ฆyou know books about stars or Science encyclopedias. I like movies A LOT but I donโ€™t like reading books about movies or cinemas.

  1. What is your favorite piece of music or song (score or the needle-dropped variety) used in a movie?

I really really like John Murphyโ€™s scoring in 28 Days Later and Sunshine. Both movies have more depth with his music. I also really really like The Raid โ€“ Redemption score, the original Indonesian score by Aria Prayogi and Fajar Yuskemal, NOT the one by Mike Shinodaโ€ฆplease donโ€™t mix that up!!

  1. Charles Bronson or James Coburn?

None, donโ€™t really like Bronson and donโ€™t even know Coburn.

  1. What is your favorite foreign film (one made outside your country)?

Oh wow!!! There are sooooo many!!! I canโ€™t just choose one. The Matrix, Inception, Breakfast On Pluto, Departure (Okuribito), Ringu, Alien, Terminator, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Amazing Grace, Saving Private Ryan, etc.

  1. When watching a movie at home, what food stuff do you almost always have nearby?

Whatever available at home! I am not a must eat something kind of person when watching movie. In fact, I rarely eat something while watching at home.

  1. Vincent Hanna or Neil McCauley (reference this film if the characters donโ€™t ring a bell)?

Noneโ€ฆsorry, haven’t seen the movie.

  1. What movie clichรฉ are you so tired of seeing in film?

Forced happy ending. It happens so often in Hollywood moviesโ€ฆ.you know, some stories are actually better without happy ending. And easy to guess plot.

  1. Whatโ€™s the scariest scene or image your ever saw on film (and it doesnโ€™t have to be from a horror movie)?

Sadako (Ringu) coming out of the TV set. That scene was very scary but it made me love that movie so much. Non-Scary movie would be the opening war scene in Saving Private Ryanโ€ฆit looked so real.

  1. The Howling or An American Werewolf in London?

Noneโ€ฆnot much of a werewolf fan. I like ghost stories more.

  1. Ever read the source book of a film adaptation that intrigued you? If so, whatโ€™s your favorite?

Usually, itโ€™s the other way aroundโ€ฆI read the book then watch the movie. However, after being fascinated by Breakfast on Plutoโ€ฆI have this urge to find the book and read it, but I still havenโ€™t found the book yet.

  1. Have you ever fast-forwarded a movie just to get to the good part?

If the movie is REALLY boringโ€ฆyes I have!! The last one I remember was The Boring Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The movie is terribly boring and I hate Brad Pitt but I love Cate Blanchetโ€ฆso I fast-forwarded the movie just to see her scenes and to know how it endsโ€ฆyou know, how Benjamin Button died

PS. Not very important thoโ€ฆI tried re-watching In Time by fast-forwarding it and only see the scenes with Cillian Murphy in itโ€ฆand Oh dear God, that movie is amazingly bad!!! Even watching the fast-forward version bored me. For the first time in my Cillian Murphy Addiction Yearsโ€ฆI donโ€™t feel even Cillian can make me watch that movie more than once.

*****************************

My second batch of questions came from a fellow Indonesian Movie Blogger, Andina at Inspired Ground

Her Questions :

How to check TOP 250 in IMDB?

  • Do you have any TV series that you wish to be adapted to a screenplay?

Do check my TOP 5 TV series post>> here. The X Files โ€“ Done; Sherlock โ€“ I love to see it being adapted to a screenplay, of course still with Benny and Martin as the main characters (not that US version of Sherlockโ€ฆincredibly wrong to turn the famous John Watson into a female named Joan Watsonโ€ฆow please shoot me!!); Doctor Who โ€“ Please make a new movie out this amazing series!!!; Friends โ€“ there were rumours about it but nothing happened :(; Mission Impossible โ€“ well, they have made it but I want something that stays true to the series just like what The A Team didโ€ฆnot that silly one man showโ€ฆMission Impossible is about TEAM WORK.

  • Which superhero in a movie youโ€™d like to date and why?

Not into superheroesโ€ฆsorry! Or can I choose the Villain? Love to date Scarecrow for reasons you know why ๐Ÿ˜‰

Finale by Lโ€™Arc~en~Ciel, the soundtrack for Ring 0 (the prologue of Ringu) and Shinsoku by Lโ€™Arc~en~Ciel, special soundtrack for Japan from Godzillaโ€ฆthe reason those songs are most played is because my mp3 player is 70% filled with Lโ€™Arc~en~Ciel songs.

Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan

************************************

Although these last sets of Questions were actually given to my Turtleโ€™s blog, Underneath The Shell but I had done a lot of thinking and those are questions that couldnโ€™t be answered by Kroten and Papoe so easily.
