This is the first in a new series of “Getting to Know”  Pages from Ultimate Movie Rankings.com.   We figured it was a good time to interview some of the people that have made UMR a success.  First up is WoC (Wife of Cogerson). WoC is not only the love of my life and my best friend, but she is also the person that got UMR to grow and improve over the years.  Without her, this little experiment would have probably ended in early 2011.

Cogerson – What was the first movie you remember?

WoC – That would have to be 1965’s That Darn Cat!  We used to watch Disney movies every Sunday night when I was growing up.  It was the only time we could eat dinner in front of the television.   I really liked that movie.  An added bonus was the fact that the star of the movie, Dean Jones, was from our hometown in Alabama.

Cogerson –  Who was the first actor or actress that you knew by their actual name?

WoC – That would be Doris Day. My mom would always call me into the room when one of her movies was playing on television.  She would tell me that I shared my birthday with her. We were both born on April 3rd.

Cogerson – What was the first R-rated movie that you saw?

WoC – I got in trouble for staying out late to watch it, but The Breakfast Club was my first R-rated movie.

Cogerson –  How would you describe movies that you enjoy watching?

WoC –  I love a movie that makes me think.  I like movies that have characters that I can easily associate myself with them.

Cogerson –  So what are your Top 3 All-Time Favorite Movies?

WoC –  In alphabetical order, I will go with The American President, The Incredibles and The Sound of Music.

Cogerson – Good movies, any movies you really really disliked?

WoC – The Butterfly Effect.  The only movie in my life that I actually walked out of the theater on.  There is a scene with a dog and a canvas bag.  After seeing that scene, I headed for the exit doors.

Cogerson – Do you have any favorite actors or actresses?

WoC – Hmmmm…….well I like Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks a lot.  Not sure I would say they are my favorites but they are the ones that come to my mind.

Cogerson – When did you realize that I was a huge movie fan?

WoC – You kept that pretty quiet for a while. I remember thinking you and the boys were huge Adam Sandler fans.  I actually thought if we stayed together, that I would be sentenced to watching Sandler movies for the rest of my life.

Cogerson – The boys loved him, so we had many of his movies.  I was hit and miss when it came to his movies.  A couple of them (Little Nicky and 8 Crazy Nights) were so bad I wanted to leave the theater, but the boys were laughing so hard we stayed until the bitter end.

Cogerson – Do you remember the movie that we watched at your house on our first date?  It was sitting on your DVD rack, and I was impressed you owned it.

WoC – From The Hip.

Cogerson – That is correct.

Cogerson – Which idea do you think was my best idea when it comes to our website?

WoC – I really like the “versus” pages.  Pixar vs DreamWorks, Marvel vs DC and Star Trek vs Star Wars.

Cogerson – Those were Bryan (SoC1) and Abby’s (DILOC1) ideas.

WoC –  Ok….I like that we left HubPages and now own and control the website.

Cogerson – Well…..that was your idea.

WoC – Hmmmm….let’s see.  I really like the trailer pages.

Cogerson – Well…..that was actually George’s idea.

WoC –  Ok….I love the logo and the fact that the website is now dynamic.

Cogerson –  Once again, those were your ideas.

WoC – Ok….let me think….thinking…..oh…..I like the Possibly Interesting Facts section on the pages.

Cogerson – Thank you.  And thank you for answering these questions and thanks for all the work you have done on our website.  It would not have happened without you.  You are awesome.
