What should we call you? Noah or Quinn is good!! What pronouns should we use for you? She/her What was the first movie that you remember watching? Finding Nemo, I would watch it for hours and hours and eventually work out the tape  Any favorite directors? David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai, Ingmar Bergman, Richard Linklater, Andrei Tarkovsky, Luis Buñel, Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Sofia Coppola, Satoshi Kon, Hayao Miyazaki, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Andrzej Żuławski, Jamie Babbit What is your favorite and least favorite trope? Favorite: I’m a sucker for melodramatic longing, especially in a city. Essentially every single WKW movie, lost in translation. This is tied with pessimistic late 90s crime thrillers. Cure, Se7en, Lost Highway, I love it. Memories of Murder is 2003 but is an honorary member of the category.  Least favorite: Joss Whedon dialogue… the real thing is bad enough and the fact that every other writer of a major movie tries to replicate it has been disastrous for anything that has a remotely lighthearted tone.  What's a movie mistake you can never unsee? Bad lighting or lensing Why do you like movies? As an artform movies can convey story and meaning in a way no other can Do you have any movie-related social media for us to follow you on?

Hiya my names Artemis but most people call me Art/Artie! I use they/them pronouns and I love what stories we can tell through the beautiful medium of movies! I really dont remember what was the first movie I watched (cut me some slack I was 3!!), but going to the theaters with my parents from a young age really opened my mind to what movies can do. I dont have a Letterboxd or any dedicated social media account pertaining to movies (Id be REALLY annoying if I did), but even 1-3 months I do post a review on my Spacehey blog if its a movie I really like/have a strong connection to. If you check my profile you can see some of my fave movies and shows (obvs I have more but those are like my top choices). Anyway its very nice to meet yall!!

Alex or Alexandra

they/she !!

One of the earliest I can remember is Flushed Away which is still super nostalgic for me

David Lynch, John Waters, Coen brothers, Gaspar Noé, Gregg Araki and Wes Anderson are some of my favourites

I am a sucker for final girls in horror and I haven’t thought a ton about least favourite tropes

the paper in the dude’s pocket in the big lebowski being crumpled and then uncrumpled one scene later

Why do you like movies? It’s such a diverse medium that can be extremely fun or emotional or philosophical, tons of films have had really profound effects on my worldview

my letterboxd is Whatsername07 !!

favourite actor: Laura Dern goes underrated a lot of the time, she’s an absolute force to be reckoned with especially in Inland Empire with her facial expressions (honourable mention to Colin Farrell also)

either Funeral Parade of Roses or Mulholland Drive is my favourite film !!!

What should we call you? 4iamaraindog2   What pronouns should we use for you? I don’t have a strong preference. What was the first movie that you remember watching? Probably Air Bud or another dog-related movie like Underdog, Hotel for Dogs, or Cats Vs. Dogs. I really liked dogs as a kid lol. I remember watching Batman (1989) on tape as the first PG-13 movie I ever saw. Any favorite directors? David Lynch, Charlie Chaplin, probably a few more that I can’t think of at the moment. What is your favorite and least favorite trope? I can’t think of a favorite trope at the moment, maybe something with space and time travel? My least favorite trope is a lesbian character who is a menace or acts mentally unstable in general. What's a movie mistake you can never unsee? I remember watching a movie from the 50’s or 60’s and a suitcase fell on one of the actors by accident. I don’t even remember what it was called, but it was so funny to me that they kept it in. Film was expensive back then! Why do you like movies? It probably started with my grandma showing my brother and I movies as little kids. My life changed when I saw The Truman Show.  Do you have any movie-related social media for us to follow you on? (Letterboxd, a dedicated blog or twitter account, etc!) Yep,  https://boxd.it/1lVkz Do you have a favorite actor? What makes them stand out? I love Willem DaFoe! He’s such a good actor with such a wide range of characters. I also love David Byrne in all of his movies. What's your favorite movie?

Answer

What should we call you? Romeo !! u can also call me priest, i guess, which is from old online handles What pronouns should we use for you? he/she (in equal amounts, if u can) What was the first movie that you remember watching? the pokemon movie. like the ORIGINAL pokemon movie that we had on vhs and that i would rewatch three times a day, to my parents's chagrin lol Any favorite directors? i'm a big fan of what jordan peele is doing rn - also guillermo del toro and patrick brice! honestly though i'm not very good at keeping up with a director's full filmography, i usually just watch individual films as they catch my attention. What is your favorite and least favorite trope? i love tropes relating to doom, inevitability, grief, and being "trapped in the narrative" so to speak (i could talk about this for one thousand years.) i also really like found families and other character-driven tropes like that. as for tropes i don't like: i think "this kid was just BORN EVIL" is stupid as a premise for a conflict or a villain, and basically all revenge plotlines bore me to death. What's a movie mistake you can never unsee? it's not a mistake in the classic sense of 'an error that should have been caught by an editor or a script advisor' but like the last five minutes of the 2020 horror film "the turning" is truly some of the worst shit i've ever seen on the big screen, which is a shame, because the rest of the movie is actually pretty good. Why do you like movies? i like story-telling in general, and film is just one particular medium for story-telling - and a really versatile one, at that. while i'm a prose-writer by trade myself, there's a lot about writing i can learn from watching movies. Do you have any movie-related social media for us to follow you on? (Letterboxd, a dedicated blog or twitter account, etc!) nope, sorry Do you have a favorite actor? What makes them stand out? similar to directors.... i do not keep up with the careers of specific actors lol. i like bill hader, daniel kaluuya, sandra oh, and anya taylor-joy in a lot of the stuff i've seen them in, though. What's your favorite movie? oooooh what a tough question. my top three are probably american psycho (dir. mary harron), one cut of the dead (dir. shin'ichiro ueda), and thoroughbreds (dir. cory finley) !

What should we call you? - Kat! What pronouns should we use for you? She/her What was the first movie that you remember watching? - Blue Clues 'Blues Birthday' from 1999 (it's on Letterboxd so I consider it a movie)  Any favorite directors? - I tend to like movies more of individually and don't follow directors too much, but I know if Jordan Peele directed it then I will like it! What is your favorite and least favorite trope? - Favorite would be found family, I think. But I absolutely know my least favorite trope is the 3rd act breakup over a misunderstanding.  What's a movie mistake you can never unsee? - In 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' is outright states that 1) she would be wearing a corset as a Puritan woman and 2) she was wearing it so tight is permanently morphed her ribs into an unnatural shape.

What makes them stand out? - I've said many times before that Ryan Gosling is the most talented actor in Hollywood, so I'll choose him. For now.  What's your favorite movie? - I'll have to choose 3: Sweeney Todd for the movie that I consider most formative, Back to the Future 2 for the movie that I've seen the most, and Nope for my favorite movie of the year (2022)
