day twenty-eight

Your favorite movie

Transformers, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Inception.

I'm as proud as I am shameful that my favorites are all completely viral--sometimes I feel like I should be immersing myself in more obscure "classics," but in light of the 21st century, I find my choices appropriate. All action flicks, sure, but the unifying force is really the graphics and advancement in HOW to create the illusion of reality in a two-point-five hour block.

All three of these have succeeded; resultantly, I can (and do) watch them over and over and over. They also make up a large portion of my movie collection, since I rarely buy films. I understand that my picks are probably washed out by the media, but at their core, I am undivided in my choice: they never fail to stun me :).

Field trip to watch Race in Philly tomorrow! I hope I don't forget my glasses and actually do something with my "relaxed" evening tonight...hum dee dum...

day two

Your favorite movie

This is (again) both hard and easy. For one, Transformers, hands down. I don't think many people remember this, but before Transformers, special effects were good, but still a bit unbelievable. Transformers was the first real graphical breakthrough (in my opinion), and after that poured out a multitude of other movies with equally good, if not now better, graphics.

Criticize the plot, actors, and Michael Bay all you want...but it'll always be number one. I've watched it too many times to count (and seeing I rarely buy movies, though I watch them all the time, that's saying something), but each time, I'm always in awe at how obscurely detailed and visually perfect everything is.

Inception is a close second. I think it might make it up there one day, but it's too new for me to decide whether I'm in on all the hype or if it genuinely does stick out.
