talk amongst yourselves

question of the day: Will Americans accept the new Al Jazeera children’s channel?

Mon, Mar 14, 2011
no comments yet

Will parents let their kids watch? Will kids want to watch? (That’s excluding Arab-American parents and kids, who represent only a tiny minority of the America population, and won’t be enough to let such a channel survive.)

question of the weekend: Have you ever been in an earthquake?

Sat, Mar 12, 2011
no comments yet

The closest I came was when I slept through a very minor earthquake on Long Island back in high school in the mid 1980s. And I think I’d like to keep that as my closest brush with earthquakes. (Also, feel free to engage in general discussion about the Japan disaster.)

question of the day: How do you chose which movies and TV shows to watch?

Fri, Mar 11, 2011

Hundreds of cable channels. Hulu. Netflix. Lovefilm. On-demand. A century of movies, 60 years of TV… How to choose?

question of the day: If they asked you, would you be willing to replace Julie Taymor as director of ‘Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark’?

Thu, Mar 10, 2011

A classic conundrum, says reader Bruce: risk being known as the fool who agreed to take over as captain of the Titanic in mid-sink or, if you succeed in turning the $65 million debacle around, become the greatest savior in show biz history.

question of the day: What is the single most powerful moment ever in cinematic history?

Wed, Mar 09, 2011
no comments yet

I might pick the end of The Usual Suspects. Or the “you’re getting on that plane” bit in Casablanca. Or… Well, there’s a lot of them, probably. It would be tough to pick a single one…

question of the day: What does Hollywood want with former U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd… and vice versa?

Mon, Mar 07, 2011
no comments yet

The MPAA has a new chairman: a former U.S. Senator who has made a career of favoring corporations over citizens. How will he help make Hollywood even worse than it already is?

question of the weekend: What makes Mr. Potato Head Mr. Potato Head if it isn’t his potato?

Sat, Mar 05, 2011
no comments yet

If Mr. Potato Head can exist by attaching his parts to a tortilla, then where does Mr. Potato Head’s essence reside if not in his very own potato head? Is it in the sum of his parts?

question of the day: How should we punish dirty slut Natalie Portman for glamorizing out-of-wedlock pregnancy?

Fri, Mar 04, 2011
6 comments

Have you heard? That dirty dirty slut Natalie Portman has done a bad thing. No, not have sex — though she did do that bad thing, the nasty whore — but parade around at the Oscars looking beautiful and happy even though her belly is swollen with a bastard child. How dare she!

question of the day: What should we expect from the upcoming ‘Blade Runner’ sequels and prequels?

Thu, Mar 03, 2011

As as you ponder this question, keep in mind that it’s the folks who gave us The Blind Side and The Book of Eli who will be making these films. Try not to cry…
