question of the day: Does it matter if celebrities endorse politicians?

Wed, Sep 12, 2012
no comments yet

Have any voters ever decided whom to vote for based upon which celebs candidates hang out with? (On second thought, don’t answer that — I suspect the answer is too depressing. No, okay, go ahead and tell me.)

Would it change our ideas about him or her?

question of the day: Which great movie can you not bring yourself to watch again?

Because it’s either too disturbing or too gory or too long or too something that makes it too uncomfortable to reexperience…

question of the weekend: What could “fox in the garden” be a euphemism or a metaphor for?

I might use the metaphor this way: Jon Stewart is a fox in the garden of American politics.

question of the day: Is it a good idea for Netflix and other digital providers to revive cancelled TV shows?

Fri, Sep 07, 2012

Does it really make any difference how a show gets before viewers, as long as the viewers are there to support it?

question of the day: What is your favorite language invented for film, TV, or books?

Goa’uld is definitely one of mine, partly because I actually started to think in it, at least for a few basic vocabulary words, while watching Stargate SG-1…

question of the day: Why did Summer 2012 flop at the North American office?

Wed, Sep 05, 2012

Did the Olympics keep audiences away? Should we blame the Colorado multiplex shooting? Or were the movies themselves simply too crappy?

question of the day: How many movies is too many movies in a single day?

Tue, Sep 04, 2012
no comments yet

Is it easier to watch multiple movies at home on a single day than it is to do the same at a multiplex?

question of the day: What is the ideal cineplex showtime?

Mon, Sep 03, 2012
no comments yet

Is there an ideal time? Does it change on the day of the week? (Maybe there’s a different time you’d prefer to see a movie in an after-work scenario than on a Saturday evening.)

question of the weekend: Are we becoming more rude as a culture?

Sat, Sep 01, 2012

Or is it merely that our definition of “good manners” is changing? Is “I’m good” an acceptable substitute for “No, thank you”? Is “You bet” a perfectly polite response to “Thank you”?
