The questions!:
1. What movie house would you like to live in?
- Swiss Family Robison! YESSSSSS!!! 1960 version, of course. Coolest DIY house EVER! We've wanted to live in that house since the first time we saw that movie, which was a very long time ago.
2. What movie pet would you like to own?
- Anna chooses Gwin from Inkheart who is the coolest looking ferret with two little spikes on his head and he does everything Dustfinger tells him to! He's so cool and adorable <3 Irene chooses Dog from Big Jake. Yes, his name is Dog. He's also super cool and really well trained. He takes out the bad guys!
3. What book do you wish your favorite actor or actress could have starred in an adaptation of?
- Hans Gudegast in the movie adaptation of Hilda Van Stockum's The Borrowed House as...Guess who!...DEITRICH! Baron Deitrich, that is.
4. Are there any movies you like better than the book they were based on?
- This was a hard question because we couldn't really think of any. However, the characterization of Agatha Christie's Poirot is much better in the movies than in the books.
5. What's your favorite movie that's set in the decade you were born in?
- Sahara! (The 2005 version) That is one fantabulous action movie.
6. Do you collect movie memorabilia of any sort?
- Uh, no. We collect the movies, not the memorabilia. Except for the Lord of the Rings. If we could get our hands on memorabilia from that, we definitely would.
7. What actor and actress have never made a movie together, but you wish would have?
- Well, William Powell and Myrna Loy were already in a bunch of movies together, so...
8. What director would you like to have direct a movie based on your life?
- Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Peter Jackson would be great if our lives were exciting, but unfortunately, that is not the case, so's we think Powell and Pressburger would do a better job with our boringness. Elia Kazan would be great too.
9. Do you ever like a remake better than the original film?
- Nope. At least, it hasn't happened yet.
10. What's your least-favorite movie genre?
- Horror is from the Devil... Literally, so none of that in this house. We try to avoid romance generally, although there are a couple that melt one's heart, so yeah
11. Are there any movies in your least-favorite genre that you do like?
- 'I Know Where I'm Going' (1945) is technically a romance, so there's that. Ooh, 'And Now Tomorrow' (1944) is absolutely lovely!
