insists that I answer this meme.

Here is my Movie Synopsis:

1) Total number of films I own on DVD/video: Sixty-two DVDs and videos, including nine seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville and Angel. I have terrible taste in TV, apparently. 🙂

2) The last film I bought: A three-for-two deal at Stop-n-Shop: Bedazzled, Joy Luck Club, and Dark City
3) The last film I watched: The Incredibles on DVD at home with
a) In the theater? Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with 45 of my students and 2 faculty colleagues.
b) On DVD? Master and Commander before The Incredibles.
c) On TV? I don’t watch TV, usually. and I watched some stupid Warner Brothers Bugs Bunny compilation with all the violence taken out, and clearly made after Mel Blanc died. She was suffering from a migraine and moon-time cramps, and I was in a silly mood — but not up for bad Bugs Bunny. We went to bed instead of finishing it.
4) Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me
a) Spirited Away
b) Much Ado About Nothing
c) The Fellowship of the Ring
d) The Lion in Winter
e) Baghdad Café

5) Tag 7 people and have them put this in their journal:

I think it’s cruel to require people to do this meme, especially if they tend not to HTML-tag their texts a lot. So… I’m setting this up as possibility tracks. Feel free to answer this meme, but only if you haven’t done so already, or the other folks in your trinity haven’t done so yet…
