mitchy at 01:43pm on 24/08/2010 under 30 days of movies meme21. Movie character you'd dearly love to smack. Hard. While wearing chainmail gloves?
I'm tempted to say Jar Jar Binks, but as I've never watched Phantom Menace, I'd really be doing it for the Star Wars fans and not me :)
No, my choice is...Frodo. I don't know what he's like in the books but I really am not a fan of the character in the movies. Yes, yes, he's da hero blah blah blah. Oh dear gods, did he HAVE to be the hero? (Actually, I think Sam's the hero but that's a whole other rant) Whiny and unlikeable and stupid. Bah! *SMACK SMACK SMACK* You volunteered, you stupid hobbit, shut up and deal!
22. Most romantic movie you've watched and enjoyed? (Or ran screaming from?)
Oooh, probably Sleepless in Seattle. Not usually my ideal fare but I adore that movie to teeny tiny pieces. I also blub at the end, every.single.time. I am such a sap :) I would have run screaming from Ghost but my friends were enjoying it. Gagh. Not a movie I plan to rewatch, unless it's to seriously pick holes in the ending. Again :)
23. Favourite animated (non-Disney) movie?
Toy Story, without a doubt. Total genius. One of the few movies I've seen more than twice at the cinema (five times) :) "That's not flying! That's falling with style!!" MUST go and see Toy Story 3 before it leaves the cinema.
24. What genre of movies do you prefer?
*ponders* Actually,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thalinoviel summed up our movie watching rather nicely the other day: "It was our kind of chick flick (i.e. there were plenty of car chases, fights & explosions.)" :) Generally, I will avoid rom-com's or straight out comedies (or "comedies") and horror movies. But thrillers and dramas and action movies are right up my street. (And musicals, obviously, but there aren't as many of those these days.)

However, you are cheating with your animated movie. :P Toy Story is a Disney movie. Pixar and Disney made the movie together, since Pixar didn't have the money on their own to make a full-length motion picture at the time.
Yes, Frodo is annoying, but with good reason. The ring is corrupting him and killing him all the way through the movies/books, and knowing that others might want the ring makes him paranoid, so...ya, he pushes people away, he is made angry and whiny from lack of sleep and the pain the ring inflicts upon him. The ring wants him to be alone, but Sam is too good of a friend for that. YAY SAM! :)
