question of the day: Has the DC Comics reboot gone too far?
Apparently DC is drawing fire for sexist and ableist reboots of fan-favorite characters…
questions
question of the weekend: The U.S. is executing its own citizens without even a pretense of due process: what’s next?
Anwar al-Awlaki was Muslim and brown, and he said bad things about the U.S., and hence he was scary and automatically guilty of something so terrible that the otherwise sacred Constitution could be ignored.
question of the day: Google is guessing at the sexual orientation of celebs — is this weird?
Google isn’t revealing any secrets, it’s just summarizing the conversation about a celebrity. But why suddenly make a special point of summarizing so succinctly about this particular aspect of a person’s life?
question of the day: If you had to pay for your own 3D glasses, would that change your decision to see a 3D movie?
If you’re not already shelling out extra for a 3D showing of a new film, it’s unlikely that having to pay even more will change your mind about that. But it’s easy to see how an extra extra charge would discourage some from 3D screenings…
question of the day: What automatically turns you off in a movie trailer?
I hate a trailer for a rom-com or a chick flick — which is intended to appeal to women — in which women act like morons.
question of the day: What’s the best movie with the worst title?
Have a movie you love — or even hate — that has a title that is completely inappropriate and bears no relationship at all with the content of the flick?
question of the weekend: How do you feel about pets in bars and restaurants?
I like the hominess of a place that allows dogs… and I like a pub or bar or eating establishment that is home to its own resident animals.
question of the day: Are Hollywood superhero stories American wish-fulfillment fantasies?
Does the glut of superhero movies coming our way represent a subconscious desire for an America gone wrong to right itself again?
question of the day: Do you think it’s weird when a character has the same name as the actor playing the role?
I always think, What the hell is this? He can’t remember to respond to a different name?
