Amilyn’s death in the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Paul Reubens’ character was a late minute substitution, and it has to be one of the most over-the-top hokey “aargh-i-die, wait I’m still dying” moment in filmdom.
Least favorite part of Winter?
That point in late February-early March where the skies are overcast and the charm of new fallen snow is a distant memory. The snow that remains are the melting dirty/crusty piles on either side of the street.
Least favorite dance to watch
Morris
Least favorite alcoholic mixed drink
Martini, or, pretty much anything with gin.
LF bar.
Any bar located in a chain hotel = recipe for no fun. Completely filled with strangers, overpriced drinks, nonexistent entertainment
Least favorite Simpsons episode
The one where Lisa becomes a ballerina and starts smoking like all the other little girls.
LF Friends episode? (or the sitcom of your choice)
The 2-parter “One that could have been.”
LF movie featuring kids that is meant for adults.
E.T. - the extra saccharine - especially when Spielburg overdubbed solder rifles with radios
LF change a director did to a movie post-release
Han not shooting first. The fact the change happened isn’t the problem, it’s that it completely subverts the Hero’s journey Han takes in the movies. He’s not supposed to be a likable guy in the beginning. He’s supposed to be a narcissistic criminal who thinks of no one but himself. Everything is a business deal, and you do what it takes to survive. That’s the world he’s from. You shoot first, ask questions later. Han knew he was as good as dead as soon as Greedo sat down next to him. There is absolutely no reason for him not to kill the guy.
Least favorite remake of a movie that was actually great the first time around.
Poltergeist (2015). It was completely pointless and added nothing to the original except terrible CGI.
least fave prequel (not including star warses)
Karate Kid
Least favorite designer’s name on clothing?
Hollister. How hard can it be to design a T-shirt?
Least favorite national park.
The one in Utah, because it’s in Utah.
Least favorite food you were forced to eat “for you own good,” when you were a child.
Fucking Brussels fucking sprouts. My mom tried to pull the “starving children in Africa” line on me to which I replied “what is their address? I’ll ship it to them”
Least fave mom guilt line?
There were too many. My Mom was the travel agent of guilt trips.
Least favorite Paul McCartney and Wings sing?
All of them.
LF Carpenters song
“We’ve Only Just Begun” - heard on every radio station, elevator, department store and doctor’s office in the 70’s. WHEN WILL YOU FINISH???
LF Beach Boys song
Be True To Your School. Meh.
LF children’s fairy tale?
“Snow White and Rose Red.” There should be only one Snow White, dammit!
LF urban legend.
The promise made between two friends that the first one to die would signal the other one from beyond the grave and… the alarm clock goes off at a different time. Really? The ghost of your friend chooses to verify the afterlife by resetting the alarm? If the spectral you can manipulate clock controls, can’t you choose a less ambiguous method of proving your existence like using a pen to write something down?
