A third helping of MRFHline? Could it be? Could it really be? (yes, duh)

(Despite several prodding and poking sessions, DnaError couldn’t be reached for comment on all questions. When the space/time continuum returns to normal, we’ll try again, but if some of his answers seem to be missing it’s because… they are.)

What's your most interesting daily habit?

Clare: I'll say it's the nightly struggle to get my cat to stop sleeping right near my head so I can roll over in my sleep without getting a face full of kitty hair up my nose. Not interesting enough? How about the fact that I fly to work every morning using jet packs in my shoes? THAT'S interesting. It's not true. But it is interesting.

PoolMan: Seriously, I'm not making this up, I like to read old MRFH reviews. I don't think a day's gone by in about three years where I had access to a computer and I didn't read an oldie review. I especially like to wax nostalgic about the old days where a review was two badly spelled sentences and a number rating. Thank God we don't have that anymore.

Andie: I do the New York Times Crossword Puzzle everyday. This is interesting because A) I'm a total nerd and can do them in about a half hour, it depends on the day because they get harder as the week goes on and B) I don't get the paper down at Truman, so my dad cuts out the crossword puzzle from the Des Moines Register everyday and then at the end of the week he mails M-Sat. puzzles to me, so every Monday I get 6 crossword puzzles in the mail.

Justin: I have many strange little rituals. For instance, between the time I shut off my shower and step out, I count back from 10 to 0. Also, I watch TV when I get dressed, so I tend to put on one sock, watch an episode of the Simpsons, then get around to the other sock.

Kyle: I do a little yoga when I wake up, then I go into the bathroom, close and lock the door, and dance around a bit on my orange rug with the cool disco-like light in my bathroom. It never fails to wake me up, and with the odd lighting of my second light source option in my bathroom makes me look like Pierce Brosnan. No, really.

Justin: Martha Stewart. I don't know why, but I'm growing increasingly convinced that she's the anti-Christ, and we're just ignoring the cruel facts lying behind that smirking exterior.

Clare: Celine Dion. I took her at her word that she was retiring to focus on her family. STAY DOWN already! But NO, she's got to come out of retirement to entertain the world in some schlock soaked Las Vegas extravaganza. As though she's somehow not quite rich or famous enough. She lied to me. She lied to everyone. (ed note: I once commented at a party that Celine Dion rhymes with “filet mignon”. The Quebeckers in the room nearly died laughing. It has since been our pet name for her, and I encourage it to be yours, too.)

Kyle: I'd have to say Winona Ryder. Go away, please.

DnaError: Is Ted Rall a celebrity? No? Okay how about Noam Chompsky? No? Laurie Anderson? Daaang.

PoolMan: There's a few (hasn't some variation of this question been in each MRFHline? Who writes these things?), but this time around, I'm going with Carrot Top. I don't know what brain dead ad exec decided he was representative of the hopes and dreams of a major long distance provider, but I HATE the guy, and I hate his new chance at the spotlight even more.

Andie: Russell Crowe because he's such a talented actor but he's such an ass. In all his interviews he comes across as a complete prick and he always looks like such a sour puss and I just want to smack him and be like, "What do you want?? What could possibly make you a nice and happy man?" Plus he totally did not deserve the Best Actor Oscar last year for Gladiator.

Clare: The Royal Tenenbaums. It was hands down the best movie I've seen in the past 12 months. I was going to include Spiderman, but I want to get my review for it written first. You can throw it in there if you want to though. I'm going to see it for the 2nd time this afternoon.

Justin: Fellowship of the Ring just blew me away, being everything that it should have been. But Donnie Darko also hit me like the powerhouse cult flick that it is... I'm really glad I found that.

Kyle: Fletch, as usual. It's always there for me, just like chocolate and the color black.

PoolMan: Lord of the Rings. I've been a Tolkien fan all my life, and I think Peter Jackson managed to walk the line between "faithful to the books" and "damned entertaining as a movie" incredibly well, and kept the masses as happy as can be expected.

Andie: Moulin Rouge. I just watched it the other night and remembered how much I really enjoyed it. I usually hate fairy tale type stuff but it was so great. The music is amazing, I'm totally in love with Ewan McGregor.

Justin: It's disturbing when male friends *ahem* say that you should really rent a particular film that is OBVIOUSLY a chick flick. Guys should never recommend chick flicks to each other, except without good reason, say, if Bruce Campbell is in there with a chainsaw cameo. Plus, there are other films that are obviously of high quality and your friends keep recommending them -- like The English Patient or Magnolia -- but just take tremendous amounts of energy to even approach the idea of watching them.

Andie: For a long time it was the Star Wars movies but I'm finally getting around to watching those. Oh, I've got it! A couple friends of mine have been trying to get me to watch the Godfather Trilogy forever but I just never take the time to do it.

Clare: Freddy Got Fingered and every Kate Blanchett movie ever made. Don't ask. I don't understand it either.

PoolMan: My buddy Ryan has this thing about The Godfather. Now don't get me wrong, I know, I know... it's a beloved classic, and is a high quality movie, it's not that I don't want to see it. But MAN, you'd think he was a priest of the church of Copolla, and he's paid by the conversion.

Kyle: Titanic. Really! Some people still love it and talk about it. Disturbing.

Kyle: I'd like to get a digital camera, $50, and one of those coconut bras, and do a week of Kyle's Streaming Strem of Consciousness Video of the Day. Then it would be me and my faithful friends fighting evil and ghosts at various creepy yet beautiful California landmarks.

DnaError: Ideally, a self-sufficient movie studio complete with trustee backing and HBO distribution deal. That or a tighter redesign of the review pages.

Clare: Besides come to work naked day? Well, as anyone who's ever talked to me outside the parameters of the MRFH knows, I swear like a sailor. So it's sometimes more difficult than it should be for me to come up with ways to express my displeasure without using profanity. But I kind of like testing my vocabulary skills. I asked once to do a review of Eddie Izzard stand up (Dressed to Kill specifically) and was shot down. I'm not sure what the exact reason was, but that's the only request I've ever made that got denied. Maybe it's because Eddie Izzard is too sexy. At least, I'd like to think that's the reason.

PoolMan: I'd really be interested in an "adults only" section to the MRFH. I've got no urge to turn the MRFH into a pr0n capital or anything, I just think our combined humour and style applied to the wonderful world of pizza delivery guys who drop their pants at the drop of a hat would be quite hysterical.

Andie: I own all the episodes of Twin Peaks and I would love to do a review of each videotape (each tape has 5 episodes, there are 6 tapes altogether) and then a final review of Fire Walk with Me but I think Justin would think it was too much. But talk about the definitive cult TV show.

Justin: Heh... it'd be funny to come up with a comprehensive list of real porno movie titles that are based on real movie titles.

Clare: Me (unmarried of course). Vincent D'Onofrio (unmarried of course). He picks me up to go out, takes one look at me and decides it would be better to stay in, if you know what I mean. And I think you do.

PoolMan: I'm thinking me and Liz Hurley, out on the town clubbing, dancing, and um, yeah. =)

Andie: There are a lot of celebrities I would like to date, but I would have to pick Tom Cavanagh from TV's Ed because I think he seems like a nice guy and I find him incredibly attractive. I would imagine him taking me to some sort of amusement park like Universal Studios Islands of Adventure or Six Flags Magic Mountain because I love amusement parks and I think we would have a really fun time there. Riding rides is exhilerating and scary and all the waiting in line would give us a nice chance to talk. Then we would go home and change into a little nicer outfit and he would take me to some little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in California that he knows about for really good seafood and wine and then we would go wading at the nearby beach until the sun set and we could star gaze. And the kiss good night would be absolutely, hair-raisingly amazing.

Justin: I'd go out with Liz Hurley, just to snatch her from the grasps of PoolMan. We'd go back to my place, order pizza and pop, and veg out while watching Godzilla flicks. Perhaps a belching contest would be in order. Then we'd make prank calls to the president.

Kyle: Nelly Furtado picks me up in a flying glass elevator like Willy Wonka has and we fly to Tupelo's (martini bar) in San Diego, where Kobe Bryant and Shaq serve us drinks. Then Phil Jackson drives us by the waterfront in a horse-drawn carriage, and finally we have ice cream and a nightcap in the main events area of the convention center before we dance the rest of the night away to the sounds of The Beatles, complete with a laser light show.

DnaError: Well, first off a dinner of wild *censored* followed by a few trips in the *censored* a quick *censored* and finished up with *dear God no you don't want to read this!*

Andie: I would live in a beautiful, rent-controlled apartment overlooking Central Park in Manhattan. I would have a fantastic little group of friends and a really amazing job working at Saturday Night Live. It would be very Sex and the City-esque.

Justin: I always thought it'd be very cool to buy a shop on the main street of some town and make my living room be the entire front of the shop (with the one wall being entirely plate glass windows). People walking by could look in and watch me and my friends watching movies, playing video games, talking on the phone, wrestling with monkeys, and just looking back and watching the people walk by. It would be like living the life of a mannequin, only this time, the mannequin could get revenge!

Clare: Ireland. For sure. We (me and hubby man) would own a pub and live above it. Yep.

PoolMan: If I were only responsible for me, I'd want to live in Detroit (or have J come to Vancouver, whichever works). We could turn the MRFH into the worldwide power it so desperately wants to be! However, I am just fresh from Montreal in Quebec, and my goodness, does that town know how to party.

Kyle: Santa Monica, in an apartment right above the Puzzle Zoo with a big cauldron of boiling oil I could pour on tourists when necessary.

DnaError: I live in the greatest goshdanged city in the world, I'm not moving for anything. Well, maybe a few day trips to Metropolis or Rivendell.

Clare: Grosse Point Blank when Martin Blank kills his attacker with a pen. I could watch that scene for weeks at a time. Plus pretty much any old Jackie Chan flick is breathtaking to behold. I'm especially fond of Who Am I?

PoolMan: Hm... I'm partial to the Darth Maul/Obi Wan/Qui Gon battle at the end of Phantom Menace. Whether you liked Phantom Menace or not, that was definitely the most BADASS fight scene in a SW movie, and it's gotta be pretty high up there on the all-time list from all movies.

Andie: If we're talking knock-down-drag-out fight, then I would have to go with the scene in Charlie's Angels where Dylan (Drew Barrymore) has her hands tied behind her back and totally kicks all those guys' asses and then does a little moonwalk to the opening strains of Billy Jean. That is so great! If we're talking argument, I have a tie. The first one is one of many hilarious fights between Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story. The one I'm thinking of is when he just plants a hand on her face and pushes her out the door. It's awesome. The other one that is tied is the one in The Cutting Edge when Kate and Doug are arguing over the button and it culminates with "If that button meant the difference between a long, satisfying life and a cold horrible death from hypothermia, I still wouldn't give you the satisfaction! Skate!"

Justin: Ash vs. his own hand in Evil Dead 2... it's funny as all get out (still), and more impressive once you realize that Campbell actually did flip himself over and did all the rest (save cutting it off) in real life as a stuntman for the scene.

Kyle: The final lightsaber duel between Luke and Vader in Return of the Jedi, because then the Emperor gets involved and Vader has to choose what to do and I cry everytime, I mean he ultimately chooses his son! I'm getting teary now!

DnaError: Uh...hmm. This is hard. I'll have to go with the first fight scene in Crouching Tiger, had me cheerin'

Andie: Wow, it's interesting that you put this in here because I only recently saw all the Star Wars movies and I still haven't seen Attack of the Clones yet. Anyway, as attractive as the Dark Side is, cause it's all dark and dangerous and sexy and stuff, I would have to go with Light Side. Too many cool characters. Yoda, Leia, Luke, Padme, Han, Anakin (for awhile), Obi Wan, etc etc etc.

Clare: Dark please. They have better music, better costumes and better gadgetry.

PoolMan: I bet I'm the minority here, but I'm going Light side. I'm too much of a softie to actually want to strangle people from across the room, and besides, heavy Dark side usage results in some nasty complexion issues. Plus, I really just enjoy the Jedi life the way it's presented in the movies; it's a tough life, but spiritually rewarding.

Justin: Dark side. The light side is disturbingly vague when it comes to what they actually get to use their powers FOR. It strikes me as a "use only if you get pushed by a bully" sort of thing, whereas the Dark Side gives you free reign to force choke if McDonald's forgets your fries.

Kyle: Obviously I choose the Light side of the Force, though I would definitely flirt with the Dark side and I would certainly wear all black, like Luke. Black rules.

DnaError: Dark, cause everyone knows good is dumb.

PoolMan: I'm sure some would argue she's pretty physically hot anyways, but Janeane Garafolo. The gal just screams "You'll do what I want, or I'll kick yer ass!", and isn't your typical supermodel lookalike actress. And hands up if you’d have taken her instead of Uma in The Truth About Cats and Dogs. Yeah, I thought so.

Andie: Ryan Stiles. I am SOOO attracted to this man because he is so incredibly funny. I can't get over it, I watch reruns of Whose Line is it Anyway? that I've seen like 10 times and he still makes me laugh. That is so attractive.

Justin: The fake chimp from Ed. (ed note: wasn’t that Matt LeBlanc?)

Kyle: What? I don't know. Me. Oh, wait, I'll answer: Tobey Maguire. Now I sound gay. Thanks.

Clare: Not sure how to answer this one. Everyone who I think is sexy I also think has a hottiness to them physically. Like Jack Black isn't what would be described as traditionally handsome, but I think he's smoking. And part of that has to do with his bod. Most of the guys I find sexy are off the beaten path as far as traditional good looks go. John Cusack. Vincent D'Onofrio. Jon Favreau. Jack Black. All hot. All kind of non-leading man hot. OH! I had a crush on Martin Starr who played Bill Haverchuck on Freaks and Geeks. I think that definitely fits into this category.

Clare: The old UNEDITED Warner Brothers cartoons back when graphic violence, negative stereotyping and unhidden sexual innuendo was a part of every kid's Saturday morning experience.

Justin: It's a close call with all the classics from the 80s (Transformers, G.I. Joe, Smurfs -- c'mon, YOU watched it!), but I'd have to go with Voltron. Lions that transform into a giant robot, which was *always* fighting giant monsters that were mutated by a witch (who never got the knack of making herself big). Giant robots, a hot princess, and no plot sense whatsoever -- this was the golden age right here.

PoolMan: I'll go Simpsons, for obvious reasons. I'm a Homer fan at heart. But I'll give a mighty shout out to Johnny Bravo. It's got that three-episodes-per-show rhythm, babes, and a funny main character with Elvis' voice. What more do you need?

Andie: Scooby Doo!!!!!! This is the best cartoon ever, hands down. I am so eagerly anticipating the live-action movie it is not even funny. Thank god I started getting in to Buffy the Vampire Slayer or else I would be very disappointed that SMG was cast as Daphne.

Kyle: The Phantom Tollbooth.

Justin: American hockey RULES! (ed note: ah, but who got both Olympic gold medals this year?)

PoolMan: J, I love you like a brother, man, but you have GOT to do something about the nosehair. Seriously, I can hear the wind rushing through there!

Clare: No no no. There's ALWAYS repercussion. Nope. Big Papa knows people who know people. I'm taking the 5th on this one. I'd say that Justin is the kindest, most benevolent of all the head mutants I've ever known. Now please don't smite me.

Andie: I would say lighten up on the language being rated PG-13 because sometimes reviews and especially Groovy Quotes from movies are just better when we can use the actual language from the movie.

Kyle: Don't take this the wrong way, either of you, but I love you.
