Why the heck is it called a "Meme"?

I found this little gem on Mongoose's website, and felt the overwhelming urge to complete it myself. Thanks Mongoose!

1. Name a movie that you have seen more than ten times.
Definitely Disney’s Little Mermaid. I have watched that film countless times and still throw it on when I need some cheering up. The Maritimer in me clearly has a soft spot for dancing and singing flounders and lobsters and catchy tunes.

2. Name a movie that you've seen multiple times in the theater.
Twilight. Judge me all you want, but Rpatz is truly a handsome devil. Tee hee!

3. Name an actor or actress who would make you more inclined to see a movie.
Robert Pattinson! That man is on fire.

4. Name an actor or actress who would make you less inclined to see a movie.
Steve-O? Who would consider him an actor?

5. Name a movie that you can quote from.
I almost can do Little Mermaid verbatim.

6. Name a movie musical that you know all the lyrics to all the songs.
You name it, I can probably sing all the songs, Sound of Music, any Disney animated film, Phantom of the Opera...

7. Name a movie that you have been known to sing along with.
Mama Mia! How could you not, come on.

8. Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see.
Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2

9. Name a movie that you own.
Sex and the City, I miss that show so much.

10. Name an actor or actress who launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but has surprised you with his/her acting chops.
Paris Hilton. HAHA! I kid, I kid.

11. Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in? If so, what?
Never, it is on my list of things to do before I die.

12. Name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven't yet gotten around to it.
I am so out of touch with movies these days, I don’t even have one.

13. Ever walked out of a movie?
I have never, ever walked out of a movie. I like to see them through to the end in theater. If it’s a rental, it’s a whole different story. I remember Erica, Sister & I attempting to watch “Being John Malkovitch”, that maybe lasted five minutes.

14. Name a movie that made you cry in the theater.
Titanic, I sobbed through the last end and continued sobbing for a few hours after. Clearly I was a hormonal teenager.

15. Popcorn?
Never with the butter/oil crap they offer, but ALWAYS with dill pickle seasoning when available. Oh yeah I love it.

16. How often do you go to the movies?
I used to go obsessively when I was younger, now I almost never go, maybe once every 2 months?

17. What's the last movie you saw in the theater?
Slumdog Millionaire and I loved it.

18. What's your favourite genre of movie?
I adore chick flicks, comedies, animated films... documentaries, essentially anything that isn’t horror or terribly gut wrenchingly sad. I could never watch the “Lassie” films... or even that horrible show “Littlest Hobo”, I despise that show with a sweet, sweet passion.

19. What's the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?
Bambi! And I remember very clearly crying my eyes out when his Dad is murdered by the hunter. Yes, I am a true Disney generation type gal.

20. What movie do you wish you had never seen?
Anything has a horrible ending, I hate that!! I have had enough sadness in my life, when I watch a movie, it is to zone out and go to nwtnatalie’s happy place.

21. What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed?
I am a huge fan of Wes Anderson films, from the music to the acting to the story lines, I love them all. Many a person that I know cannot stand them, however my idea of a great movie night would definitely include; the Royal Tennenbaums, Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and the Darjeeling Limited. Love them all.

22. What is the scariest movie you've seen?
Since I don’t do scary movies, I will have to say Amnityville Horror (remake). Hubby dragged me to see it years ago. I ALMOST had to leave the theater, it was too much for me.

23. What is the funniest movie you've seen?
I would definitely answer this question differently depending on the different stages of my life... some movies that I LOVED and thought was simply the funniest thing ever, I now have re watched and been mystified as to what I thought was so darn funny in the first place. Example: Superstar. I remember scream laugh crying when Will Ferrel descends into Molly Shannon’s bedroom dressed as Jesus. When I re watched it I thought, OK, funny, but I am not scream cry laughing. I am a die hard SNL fan, Robert Goulet’s starring contest is simply the best. Especially now. That's all I'm saying!

Slum Dog was an awesome movie, it truly surprised me how well done it was.
