talk amongst yourselves

loaded question: which streaming services do you have regular access to… and watch regularly?

Tue, Nov 16, 2021
13 comments

I’m very curious to hear what you all have to say about this, because the streaming environment has gotten a bit out of hand: there are so many services, and it would be absurd — and expensive! — to subscribe to all of them.

loaded question: do you like scary movies?

Sun, Oct 31, 2021
9 comments

For me, I don’t like most of the movies Hollywood considers scary — such as most of what is labeled “horror” — primarily because I simply don’t find that sort of thing scary.

question of the weekend: is there an actor whose presence in a film or TV show guarantees that you won’t watch it?

Sat, Oct 23, 2021

Prompted by the news that Mel Gibson will be starring in the John Wick TV spinoff The Continental, and the generally appalled reaction from fans. Who are your dealbreakers?

question of the weekend: what’s your favorite road-trip movie?

I want to assure you, dear readers, that my pal Shirley and I, currently on a mini road trip through Wales, have no intentions of replicating Thelma and Louise’s misadventures.

question of the weekend: what TV show do you never fast-forward through the opening credits?

Sat, Oct 02, 2021
10 comments

Maybe the show’s opener is simply a beautiful introduction to characters and places you love. Maybe the theme song is *chef’s kiss.* Maybe it’s something you cannot quite put your finger on…

question of the weekend: do you listen to a film’s score or soundtrack before you’ve seen the film?

Sat, Sep 25, 2021
7 comments

I suppose it’s not out of the question, but I can’t imagine getting really caught up in a movie’s music until I actually see the movie.

question of the weekend: do you miss video-rental stores?

If you’re too young to have had experienced them, what do you imagine you might have missed?

question of the weekend: what movie do you most associate with autumn?

Sat, Sep 04, 2021
6 comments

Maybe it’s a film set in the autumn, or maybe there’s some other association for you.

question of the weekend: what is your seminal movie?

Sat, Aug 28, 2021
20 comments

Define “seminal” however you like. Or perhaps you have a seminal movie experience or movie moment, not a film itself but a moviegoing experience or an association that made you fall in love with cinema.

question of the weekend: what terrible movie do you love enthusiastically?

Sat, Aug 21, 2021
15 comments

My choice has got to be Roland Emmerich’s disaster of a disaster flick, 2012. Honestly, I never tire of how stupendously, entertainingly awful it is.
