question of the day: So what the heck does Harry Potter do for the rest of his life?
Maybe he’s gotten into illegal underground dragon baiting as a way to cope with the boredom?
questions
question of the weekend: How do you cope with the worst of summer’s heat?
I am so glad not to be in New York City right now.
question of the day: What are the “best” worst defenses offered for terrible movies?
You know, stuff like “You’re a woman, so what do you know?” and “It’s just a movie”…
question of the day: Is there any chance in Hades that ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’ could get an Oscar nom for Best Picture?
I think it’s so remote a possibility as to be preposterous. And no, the Return of the King sweep is not an apt comparison.
question of the day: Would Russian, Ukrainian, and South Korean audiences really avoid ‘Captain America’ if it were called ‘Captain America’?
If there truly is strong anti-American sentiment in these places, wouldn’t people there avoid Hollywood movies altogether?
question of the day: What little-known stories from where you live would make a great movie?
Adventure! Romance! Espionage! Nazis! Can you imagine how cool a movie about Amy Johnson could be? She was Amelia Earhart meets Indiana Jones.
question of the day: Is it time to quit it with all the ‘Star Wars’ references in pop culture?
And what could take its place? What other stories in the mass consciousness have had the same affect on so many people that referring casually to them would have the same effect?
question of the weekend: What would be the equivalent of L.A.’s Carmageddon where you live?
It’s Carmageddon in Los Angeles this weekend, as a long stretch of a major highway in the perhaps the most car-crazy city in the U.S. — if not the world — is closed for some heavy-duty construction work…
question of the day: How would great female filmmakers describe their work in ways comparable to the machismo of male filmmakers?
The male dominance of filmmaking sometimes smacks at you from a direction you weren’t expecting.
question of the day: Is Hollywood imploding?
Are we seeing a seimic shift in how Hollywood operates, perhaps akin to the shift to blockbusters in the late 1970s? Can Hollywood endure making only movies for kids? What will Hollywood look like in 10 years?
