When I was 13 I saw my first Rated “R” movie in my life at the now defunct Minnehaha drive-in. First Blood was the movie.

12. Ever made out in a movie?
Yes. What’s scary is I can remember the movies and the gals. I made out with (name removed to protect the innocent) while watching Hot Shots in 1991. I then made out with my then-fiancee when we went to see Father of the Bride in 1992.

Eeeeooow, Eeeeooow, T.M.I.!!!

I’ve never cried eating popcorn either.

About twice per year.

Romantic comedies. I figured it was the best way to start a conversation with women. “Sure I’d fly from Seattle to New York to meet a woman atop the Empire State Building.”

Herbie Rides Again.

Hope Floats. Whoever thought Harry Connick, Jr. could do a romantic comedy should be drawn and quartered.

23. What is the scariest movie you’ve seen?
Halloween. The theme music alone is enough to cause my heart to jump into my throat.

24. What is the funniest movie you’ve seen?
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad. One of my favorite, off-the-wall quotes from that flick: “It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girl dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.”
