question of the day: What is the most iconic piece of Hollywood clothing?
Is it Marilyn Monroe’s white dress? Dorothy’s red slippers? Charlie Chaplin’s hat? Something else?

question of the day: Do you find Mystique — ‘X-Men’s scaly, blue-skinned shapeshifting mutant — beautiful?
The answer interests me because there seems to be such a divide between the fictional world Mystique lives in and our own in how her appearacen is perceived…
question of the day: Is it ever a good idea to ban any film… even ‘The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)’?
As disgusting and reprehensible as a movie may be, doesn’t a ban bring even more attention to a film that it might otherwise have received had it been labeled with the most restrictive rating the BBFC can dole out?
question of the day: If you were going to invent a new Oscar category à la the MTV Movie Awards, what would it be, and who or what would be the definitive example of a winner?
Perhaps the best thing about the MTV Movie Awards is its cheeky categories: Best Kiss, Best Fight, Best Villain. The Oscars could use a few fun categories to enliven its broadcast each year…
question of the weekend: If you could do a Freaky Friday switcheroo with anyone, who would it be?
It could be a real person — your first grade teacher, a glamorous movie star or famous athlete, maybe your own sibling — or it could be a hypothetical someone: perhaps a person doing a job you’d love to try, for instance…
question of the day: What should be the plot and setting for ‘The Hangover Part III’?
How can Todd Phillips and Co. up the ante? Or — if Hangover II is anything to go by — perhaps they won’t. Should they just make the same movie over again, for a third time?
question of the day: Would you enjoy an action/comic-book movie franchise that gave us two or four small movies in a single year rather than one huge one every four years?
For the estimated $125 million that was spent to produce X-Men: First Class, for instance, we could have had two $62 million movies, or four $31 million movies. Would you prefer that?
question of the day: Does American TV portray gays and lesbians better than British TV does?
Not only should I not worry about how Torchwood: Miracle Day copes with Captain Jack’s sexuality, showrunner Russell T. Davies believes American TV has teh gay better than British TV…
question of the day: Is the biggest Memorial Day weekend ever a reboot for in-the-doldrums Hollywood, or just a blip on the radar?
There will be no living with The Hangover Part II now: It had the biggest opening weekend ever and the second biggest ever for an R-rated film. But is this just a fluke for Hollywood in a year that’s been way down at the box office?
question of the weekend: Atari 2600 or Commodore 64?
Or maybe Sinclair, Amiga, Intellivision, Odyssey2, something else?
