Busci's 2,000th Post

I gotta give you props dude, this was a good idea for a milestone post.

What makes a movie special to you?

Congratulations Buscemi.. Don't have any questions right now, but this is a good idea.

What makes a movie special:

-good acting
-good writing
-good directing
-plotline that attempts something different or something that is rarely done
-something that contains an appealing factor or something that actually seems realistic to me
-and some other things that are too hard to explain

Congrats on the 2000th post Boosh. I do have a question for you though.

Why did you like The Love Guru?

I guess I just simply like that type of comedy. Silly but also tongue-in-cheek in its silliness.

I liked it also, so he's not alone. I think it's just as funny as Austin Powers and almost identical to Austin Powers humor.

Wow 2000 went quick. I missed this for a few days. Congrats on the double millenium postage.

I want you to name two movies that you loved as a child. For one of them, name a movie you still love to watch. For the other, name a movie that you have watched more recently and now think it is crap.

A movie I loved as a child that still love to watch: Dumb and Dumber
A movie I liked as a child that I now think is crap: 3 Ninjas

Never seen either of them. LOL

WHAT?!?!!?

How can a childhood be complete without 3 Ninjas, and to a lesser extent, 3 Ninjas Strike Back.

Remember that I am now 32. 3 Ninjas came out when I was 15. I was quite over movies like that by then.

I actually saw 3 Ninjas Kick Back in a theatre. I was six or seven and it played in a summer kiddie matinee.

I miss summer kiddie matinees where you get the option of two films and get to see one of them. Usually, the movies were a little older but we didn't care.

I also saw these in that area series held at the now-deceased Fremont in Springfield, Missouri in 1997 and 1998:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Rookie Of The Year
The New Adventures Of Pippi Longstocking
Hook
Space Jam
Mouse Hunt (This was my second time, believe it or not. I liked to freak out my rodent-fearing mother and sister with it and look at me now.)
All I Want For Christmas
Fairy Tale: A True Story
A Troll In Central Park (barely released but somehow it played here in a matinee four years later)
Cats Don't Dance
The Pebble and The Penguin (despite the first five minutes not having sound)
Andre
The Beautician and The Beast
A Simple Wish
Alaska
Good Burger
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
Little Big League

and a few others that I can't remember.

To many, these are pretty bad movies (especially Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie). But to me, it's nostalgia.

Is Turbo the second one? Cause I think the first one is a good movie.

Yeah, Turbo was the second. The one without the Power Rangers.

I got another question for you Boosh.

I really like how your avatars/signatures always themes. I think its very creative and cool. Where did you come up the idea to do this?

I began the idea to change avatars every 100 posts while at Box Office Mojo in 2003. They had so many avatars to choose from and you couldn't choose just one. So I decided to rotate every 100 posts. It has stuck ever since.

A related question, how do you pick them? Is it just like a random "hey, I think I'll be Luigi next," or what?

Usually I choose something that is on my mind. I had been watching different YouTube Poops of Super Mario World and I found ones on Mama Luigi and "Football or Stone" so funny that I just had to use Luigi this time.
