Daily Entertainment: Do you like scary movies?

[thisisnotajournal]

If your pup has a movie library - or if they were given the means to construct one - what does/would it look like?

Voodoo has a blend of classics and contemporary works. Stuff like Chinatown, the Dollars Trilogy, and The Godfather is right alongside stuff like Zoolander and Airplane!.

(For a while it was disproportionately stocked with Pixar movies. Korra's doing.)

Mako's guilty pleasure would be private eye movies. He'd be right at home with a Bogart work.

Connor would show a preference for Werner Herzog's works, but shy away from many Westerns.

B.J Blazkowicz would love sports movies, and his library would be composed of a lot. His favorite would be Friday Night Lights, with Bull Durham coming in second. He could get through a war movie if he had to, but it wouldn't be his thing. He'd probably have a Three Stooges or Charlie Chaplin flick in there somewhere.

Ellie...gosh, this is a tough one. I think it would consist of a lot of Pixar films, but WALL-E would be the only one she'd watch with any regularity. It'd probably consist of more comedies than not.

Archer has every single one of Burt Reynold's films. If it's not a Burt Reynolds/Clint Eastwood/Steve McQueen film, Top Gun, an obscure 50s drama, or some dumb cult classic, he probably quit watching them halfway through.

Assuming "movers" (yes, that's what LoK calls them) from her canon are off-limits, Kuvira's would consist of a smattering of Kurosawa works and not much else. I can't imagine movies would be her thing to begin with.

(Throne of Blood would probably get watched all of once.)

Maverick's would consist of a whole lot of racing movies, but I imagine he'd have some Rocky and Westerns in there, too. Basically anything that celebrated what he saw as the American spirit.

I was feeling so bummed out that I didn't have the energy to post in the baby goat post, but then this popped up in my twitter feed.

Joly- so many documentaries. SO MANY. All the Science programs. Also, everything in the original Star Trek universe. And, with considerable guilt, some of the X-Men movies. (such awful science! And it doesn't even handwave it as Future!tech! but-- but-- argh, Feelings.)

Bahorel- so many horror movies. And series. Schlock and B-movie stuff, Pan's Labyrinth, Hammer films with Technicolor blood, slasher films, whatever. Also: so many musicals. SO MANY. All of them he can get, barring the ones about a peasant or worker marrying into royalty as a Happy Ending. That stuff's just immoral, man.

Tess isn't big on movies/TV/music oddly enough, so these questions are always a challenge for me.

I know she loves The Little Mermaid and the Tolkien movies, so she'd have those, but beyond that I'm not really sure. She probably likes some old, classic romances and Hitchcock's fare but I doubt she owns any.

Would Tess be interested in meeting a real Tolkien character at some point, do you think?

Sure! She can congratulate Elrond on not being as much of an ass as Thranduil. :)

Cy has a huge library of DVDs, Blu-Rays, (legal) downloads, and even old VHS tapes. He owns pretty much every fantasy, SF, and horror film made after 1990, and a lot of the classics of the genres. You want to see a zombie film, a slasher film, or an SF film with such bad FX you can see the boom mikes, ask Cy.

Knox is more a rental/whatever is on TV sort of guy. But he'd own a fair number of WWII films, crime movies, and the occasional Eastwood western. And maybe a few comedies.

Swamp Thing would go for more realistic films with the occasional blockbuster. He really would like to have a movie collection and a TV or computer since theaters are right out.

Kirk isn't much for visual entertainment - comes from being a busy man living on a spaceship in the post-TV age. And Charlie never got into anything remotely entertaining. He'd probably own PBS documentaries at most.

Clementine: Total trash, 24/7

Dixie: Lots of silent reels and Marx Brothers comedies.

Juliet: The right mix of romantic comedies and silly action dramas to keep Shawn entertained.

Pinkie: Lots of pre-talkies sound reels and splashy Busby Berkley stuff.

Eponine: Gangster movies and pop romances.
