question of the day: Who are the unlikeliest action heroes ever?

Wed, Aug 29, 2012

I’m gonna go with Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings. Wood doesn’t spring to mind when thinking about action heroes, and even within the context of the story, a homebody hobbit is the last person anyone expects to be an action hero.

question of the day: Why are we debating the violence that fills movies when we should be debating their despair?

Thu, Jul 26, 2012

I am not suggesting that we should ban or censor movies full of despair! I’m suggesting that these despairing movies are doing too good a job of reflecting our society, and it’s our society we should be concerned with, not the messengers who deliver this news.

question of the day: Would it be a good idea for Christian Bale to visit young Aurora shooting victims dressed as Batman?

I’m not sure I can think of a worse idea than this. I can well imagine being retraumatized by seeing a big guy in black body armor and a mask coming at you, no matter who is wearing it…
