Awards & Accolades – Funny Bone Fuel and Get to Know Me

I got nominated by Hammy Reviews and Popcorn & Film. Check them out, they’re awesome!

The Liebster is great for promoting smaller sites and networking.

Answer the 11 questions, nominate up to 11 people, blah blah blah.

So beginning with Hammy Reviews‘ questions:

1 – If you could play a character in any movie, who would it be?

In a Star Wars anthology film: Galen Merek or Starkiller in the Force Unleashed movie, which is about Vader’s secret apprentice. Or just John Wick.

2 – Favourite ice cream? Mint or Cookie Dough.

3 – What is the worst movie you have ever seen?

This.

WHAT. EVEN.

Synopsis: Someone rich dies and their inheritance is given to a dog named “Entertainment”. The dog’s carers try to kill it to inherit the money. Slap stick chaos ensues. Also the main character is getting married because obviously.

There’s a scene where someone yells in emotional trauma “ENTERTAINMENT!!” The film was so bad I did the same thing, Platoon style, screaming for something worthy of describing as entertainment.

4 – Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or PC?

I primarily game on PC, had a PlayStation last gen, an Xbox this gen and think Mario Maker is one of the best games of the last few years.

“Gee, way to pick a side, Prime Six” you scoff.

5 – If you had the choice, would you have the power of telekinesis or telepathy?

Telekinesis because it’s the force.

Host a few blogathons (stay tuned for more), make significant progress on my first novel and continue growing the site with original content.

8 – Which actor/actress would you invite to dinner for one night? Keira Knightley

9 – Have you ever walked out of the cinema? If so, what film was it? I purposefully only watch films I’ll like in the cinema.

10 – Favourite book? 48 Laws of Power is a controversial, thought provoking book. Of Mice and Men is a fictional fave.

11 – A night in by yourself: what do you do? Only two real choices here; games or films. The real question is what game or film, dependant on mood.

Phew! Great questions. Now let’s see what Popcorn & Film has for us:

3 – What is the best thing to do on a rainy day?

Recreate scenes from Blade Runner, The Notebook and The Matrix Revolutions.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – have I redeemed myself from question 1?
Also any Star Wars. Have I mentioned I like Star Wars?

Optimally viewing the beautiful reflective bald head of the gentlemen in front of you.

A hilarious tale of the ghetto with morales such as anti-bullying and job security. Chris Tucker is the best thing about Friday.

11 – You receive a text from a famous actor/actress. Who is it from and what does it say?

Karl Urban: “Guess what? Your DREDD 2 script got greenlit – I am the law!”

Also fine questions from Popcorn & Film!

UPDATED: Thanks to Jason’s Movie Blog for also nominating me – he poses some big questions:

1 – Favourite movie of all time?

My answer changes every time someone asks me, but every answer I give is 10/10 in my eyes. Today I’ll go with Saving Private Ryan.

2 – Favourite movie scene?

The Hanks Damon talk in the aforementioned film is perfect. Last moments of Heat. That first Avengers group cinematic. “I am Iron Man”. End of Watch‘s last moments. Plenty of phenomenal scenes I could keep mentioning, all equally awesome in their own way, I couldn’t give one in particular.

3 – Last movie you saw in theatres?

Captain America: Civil War

4 – If you had the chance to meet one actor or actress in real life, who would it be?

Johnny Depp to talk about his varied career and his thoughts on the quality of his content in recent times.

5 – Favourite movie of 2015?

Top Films of 2015 Viewed in 2015! Of everything however I’d say Fury Road followed by The Force Awakens and Sicario.

6 – Star Wars or Star Trek?

“Is it too much to ask for both?”

Star Trek seems very cool though, the politics, culture, racism, exploration all fascinating. I’m very confused on where to start though.

But seriously, try and spot how many times I mention or reference Star Wars on this page.

7 – When did you start blogging?

Just under a year ago.

8 – Why do you blog?

I watched John Wick. It was awesome. Several months later I watched it again. Still awesome. But no one else had seen it, it wasn’t getting the attention it deserved.

So I impulsively made a blog, hastily choose a theme and wrote a review and an “about page” at I-should-be-asleep o’clock. From there I just rolled with it.

9 – If you could visit any world in real life, what would it be?

I could say Star Wars again but I’m going to go with Avatar. The natural neon glow of everything, the culture revolving around life, it’s all very pretty.

10 – Physical copies of movies or digital downloads?

Physicals of only my favourites. I have on Blu-ray: The Dark Knight, Saving Private Ryan, The Matrix, The Raid 2 and I intend to get Mad Max: Fury Road

11 – What movie are you looking forward to seeing?

Civil War was my most anticipated film of the year. Rouge One and Episode VIII are a given. Otherwise I’m interested in Mad Max sequels, The Raid 3, anything by Denis Villeneuve including Blade Runner 2. The new Predator by Shane Black, Scott’s Prometheus and Blomkamp’s Alien 5 thereafter.

Solid questions there, made me think!
