1) No I'm afraid
2) Male (allegedly)
3) 18-21
4) No
5) probably supernatural if I did
6) um...
7) Haven't seen a film in a cinema since 2007
8) The internet usually
9) Not really, I tend to make judgments on far more than that and trailers are cut in such a misleading way it's difficult to take them seriously a lot of the time
10) The character development and plot? (I can't really say 'Tubular Bells' can I? ;P)
