I don’t know why I bother playing with those Internet quiz-things that purport to reveal one’s tastes and personality traits. The results are never remotely accurate. Case in point: my Movie Recommendation score…
You scored as Mindless Action Flick.
Congratulations! You’ll blow fifteen bucks on the worst script ever as long as there’s lots of guns, explosions, car chases, kung fu, and unrealistically happy endings. Reality means nothing to you! I don’t know you but just lost all respect for you! Check out: Die Hard, Fast and the Furious, Charlie’s Angels (they can fly!), Biker Boyz.

This thing is wrong on so many levels. I enjoy the occasional action movie, and god knows they’re not usually very intelligent, but I don’t think they’re my primary cinematic interest, and I do discriminate when it comes to which ones I bother with. (Otherwise, I might have actually seen Elektra, which probably would have led to an unfortunate case of self-inflicted eye-gouging.)
In addition, I would not characterize the original Die Hard as “mindless” (a rant for another day), and I consider Charlie’s Angels more of a comedy than an action movie. The thing that really ticked me off, though, was the suggestion that I would find any pleasure whatsoever in Biker Boyz and The Fast and the Furious. I hate those Gen-Y/skate-punk/X-box/extreme sports/ritalin-deprived/crap-editing flicks… but perhaps I’m taking this far too seriously…
I’d have to agree, your main movie interest is definately not action movies. I don’t usually put too much stock in these quizes, either.
Yeah, I probably took it far too seriously, but then that’s my natural tendency…
Wait a minute… weren’t you just telling me the other day that you were waiting for the Steven Seagal / Jean-Claude Van Dam action packs on DVD? That you thought Vin Diesel had been stiffed on an Oscar nod?
Its okay to play intellectual, Jas.. I know who you really are.. 🙂
That’s funny…I thought that you would like mindless action flicks…after all what the hell was “Darkman”? (JK)
I didn’t say I didn’t like them at all, just that they weren’t my primary interest… 🙂
Actually, I think the thing that annoyed me about this quiz was that it lumped Die Hard — which was not a stupid film at all — in with skate-punk garbage like Biker Boyz and Fast ‘n’ Furious. But like I said, I’m probably taking it all too seriously. (Who, me? Take something too seriously? Nah, that never happens…)
Trust me.. in order to get it to say you liked mindless action flicks, you had to answer the right questions… there were a few there Jas that I think you secretly answered… otherwise you would have probably been a romantic comedy guy????? hahahah
Oh yeah, because we all know how much I looooove those rom-coms…
