I don't know him personally, but I do know who he is, which I guess makes me all the nerd I need to be.

Oh, right. Top five terrible movies I saw because of a girl.

1. This one the name of which I can't actually remember but it had vampires in it. Or werewolves. If the Asylum made a rip-off of Twilight, it was that.
2. "300." We weren't really dating before we saw it. We sure as hell weren't dating after we saw it.
3. "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within." My date had slightly less personality than the dead-eyed female lead.
4. "Meet Joe Black." It was our first date. We went with a group. We were the only two out of about seven of us to freely admit how fucking terrible that movie was. Then we went out for burgers and argued about whether to get bacon on the cheese fries.
5. I'm drawing a blank on a fifth, but there was this one porno we rented one time and oh my god it was just awful. Just appalling. Neither good cinema nor good porn.

Top five movies that were widely panned but that you loved, or vice versa.

I don't know him well, but I gaffed a movie he was in about 5 years ago. Friendly enough, always said hello to me.  I ran into him at Fangoria last year (he sells random shit at conventions, and they were premiering the trailers for 2 movies I shot), and we chatted for a minute.

A SFX make-up artist I'm friends with had a bad run in with him once, but I don't remember the story.

Fuck, Otero came out swinging, that's awesome. Um.

Okay, I won't be obvious and mention Reservoir Dogs.

1. Bowling for Columbine, Louis Armstrong, What a Wonderful World.
2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off, John Williams, Star Wars Fanfare.
3. Watchmen, Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah.
4. The Replacements, Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive.
5. High Fidelity, Katrina and the Waves, Walkin' on Sunshine.

(And no, I didn't have to look that up, I know band names like I know your mother like I know how to please your mother like I know limited success in various venues.)

Top five photographs.

Next: Top 5 web articles. Could be funny or informative, whatever.

This picture of the St. Maarten beach is better:

4. Manhattan -- The greatest opening to any movie ever.

Holy can of worms... Ok, this isn't really in order, and I was thinking more about the impact the albums had on pop culture.  I could probably create this list about 17 different ways

1) Frank Zappa: Freak Out!
2) Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced?
3) Dr. Dre: The Chronic
4) Nirvana Bleach
5) *rotating albums*

true, i was thinking about that... but it was his first solo album and it made a pretty big impact across the industry (whereas NWA was awesome..but more polarizing).

1- Jaws
2- Contact
2- Anniversary Show 2010
3- Aliens
4- The Fly
5- The Abyss

Top 5 movies you'd like to check out but haven't because you think you won't like it.

Like if you've heard a million times that 2001: a space odyssey is supposed to be a masterpiece but some Dorkman-type people say it's slow and boring, so you never get around to watching it cause you think it'll be slow and boring.

Or maybe you read that the original Solaris is supposed to be good but then you think 'there's no way i'm watching some weird early-'70s Soviet film'.

Let me rephrase because my english not so good: Movies you heard were good but could never be bothered to check out.
