An interview with our own Becky Perry
Question:
So, Becky, how long have you been a movie critic?
Becky:
I think one is a movie critic from
the outset, when one starts watching movies. In that vein, I'd say since I was about two, unofficially, when I first watched
'The Secret of NIMH' by Don Bluth.
Q:
Did you like it?
B:
I loved it. From then on, Don Bluth was
one of my animation idols.
Q:
You are a huge fan of animation and comics. Is that when it started?
B:
I'm not sure. Animation, probably between that and 'The Last Unicorn' by Rankin & Bass. Comics, more when I went to
Canada the first time at age 7, and I discovered Archie comics.
Q:
A classic! What do you look for in a movie?
And do you look for similar characteristics in a book?
B:
Lovely movie! Hm. It really depends on my mood. i don't
like movies that are really dirty or sexual. I like chick flicks and testosterone flicks, brainy flicks, dumb flicks. it just
depends. Books, too, but I prefer and enjoy a book more if it makes me think, if it gets philosophical somehow.
Q:
Are you more concerned with character development, or plot?
B:
Again it depends on what I want to watch and
the movie. I prefer a movie with at least good characters, though.
Q:
Do you consider yourself a picky, or merely
diserning entertainment searcher?
B:
I'd say discerning. I'm not always picky; I'm game for anything, especially
if a friend suggests it. Then I formulate my own opinion on it.
Q:
Let's talk about you. Where do you come from?
B:
Sunapee, NH by way of Nashua, NH.
Q:
A small town girl. I understand you're about to graduate from
college in the Mid-West. How did that happen?
B:
God. And I wanted way away from New England. Tired of it.
Q:
Bad vibes? or what?
B:
I needed a change, I wanted something new. I got tired of the area because I'm not
that fond of it, and I believed God wanted me somewhere else.
Q:
I understand you spent some time in England?
B:
YES. The perfect country, the only place I've instinctively felt at home. *sigh*
Q:
You perfer
the British life then?
B:
MHM! Only thing I wuld miss besides friends and family is American Mountain Dew, baby!
Q:
Ah ha! Any plans to go back?
B:
None in operatin, but in the long run, YES. I want to live there.
Q:
What about over-arching life plans? Do you know what you want to do after college?
B:
Only very
loosely. Write, that's what I'd like to do. Novels and short stories mostly. Maybe do some graphic novels, a.k.a. comic books.
Maybe get married...
B:
...to an Englishman.
Q:
Any particular goal you'd like to reach?
B:
Well, foolishly, I'd love to go to Oxford and also win the Nobel Prize for literature and move to England permanently.
Q:
It's never foolish to dream big. I wish you well Becky, thank you.
B:
Thank you.
