Lindsey's Film Odyssey: Sunshine Award! :D

What's this?

I got an award! Thanks to Brigitte Badeau of I blame Movies for this award. I totally appreciate it. In my quest for 1001 films, I come across many serious dramas, but I still try to keep my reviews lighthearted and funny. Also lots of pony gifs because I'm an adult. Here's the awesome award I got and it reminds me of the sunflower from Plants Vs. Zombies 2 (that I'm playing right now)

But there are rules!

1. Include the award’s logo in a post or on your blog.

2. Link to the person who nominated you.

3. Answer 10 questions about yourself (use these or come up with your own).

4. Nominate 10 bloggers.

5. Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs, letting them know they have been nominated.

1. Most shameful movie confession?

I have never watched Blade Runner, even though I love sci-fi films and have a crush on the young Harrison Ford. Also I'm going to confess that I find most film noir cheesy.

2. Favorite animal?

Tigers. I went to Auburn University, and our mascot is the Tiger.

3. Favorite non-alcoholic drink?

Smoothies. Whether coffee or fruit smoothies, they are a choice breakfast or post-workout snack.

4. Favorite music?

I was raised on heavy metal and rock, but sometimes I also enjoy indie rock. So my playlist consists of everything from Black Sabbath to Phoenix, Imagine Dragons, Rammstein, Chevelle, Godsmack, and Led Zeppelin. My favorite band of all time is Rage Against the Machine.

5. Favorite TV-show?

We actually don't own a tv, but sometimes watch online or on Netflix. My daughter and I love watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I also enjoy watching cooking competitions like Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen. I guess I like any show with Alton Brown in it.

6. Favorite movie-going memory?

I've loved dinosaurs ever since I was little, so when I was 8 years old, my dad said he would take me to my first pg-13 rated movie. And that it would be about dinosaurs. I was so excited. And do you know what that movie was?

That's right, it's Jurassic Park! Watching this film sparked a lifelong passion for science fiction and horror films. This film perfectly mixes sci fi and fantasy, tells an amazing story, and quite possibly is the best film ever. Ever. And it has dinosaurs! Even now, my dad (who lives way up north) and I love chatting about what horror films we've seen.

I'm watching the children's show Dinosaur Train with my daughter in hopes that she'll be as psyched about them as I am. So far, so good.

7. Movie most people love that I dislike?

Fanny and Alexander. I know a lot of people rave about it, but I absolutely loathe that movie.

8. Favorite short film?

La jetée (The Pier). It's a time travel film that loops perfectly and tells an interesting story in such a short amount of time. It's very well done.

9. My passion?

Besides films? I enjoy spending time playing games or dolls with my daughter. I go to the beach as much as I can. I can't walk very well but I can swim. I also enjoy trivia games with my friends.

10. Favorite soundtrack?

My daughter votes for The Little Mermaid, while I enjoy the soundtracks to Wes Anderson films.
