That’s an interesting take on the ‘questions’ post idea Anna. It’s interesting to learn a little bit about the blogger behind the blog and what their early movie experiences were like. I’d give my own answers but I think I’m all memed out at this stage. Maybe sometime in the future I’ll tackle these questions, they are pretty original ones.
Thanks Ronan! Yeah, I know youre feeling about memes, you read so many of them and afterwards I often feel whether there’s anything left for me to say / pick. So I guess picking my own questions was kind of a reflection on that sentiment haha.
Great idea for a post! I’m sure more people around the community are going to follow you on this ;)
Thanks Castor! We’ll see ! : -)
Between watching eps of the Loveboat and Happy Days, I was daydreaming about Han Solo as well. Nice post!
Right! Haha ! : D
This is really difficult! I think the only one I can come up with is
First R rated movie I ever saw
True Lies
I’d have to change the categories around. I remember all anyone could talk about in elementary school was Mufasa dying. Ah the memories.
Mine was actually American Pie (it was rated R here!) .. How lame is it that it’s rated R !
What a lovely post! ^__~
Wow what a list. Some real belters in there. My favs are;
• The First Time I Realized Robert De Niro is a Genius
• The First Time I Thought The Film Was Better Than The Book
• The First Film Character That Annoyed The Hell Out Of Me
Again, great list.
Thanks a lot Mark!
This is a great idea Anna! I love many of your choices.
I might try to getting around and creating a list when I come up for some air :)

Brilliant Anna, simply brilliant.
If it is any conciliation I hate that girl from Indy too!!
Great list! It’s really tough to argue with any of your choices especially Spike Jones or Leo.
Thanks Dan : – )
I don’t know that Willie was the first character to annoy me, but he’s certainly up there with other epic buzzkill characters.
Usch … buzzkilll
