questions

question of the day: Would you pay $50 per month to see unlimited new theatrical releases?

Fri, Jul 01, 2011

I figure the primary objection most moviegoers might have is that there wouldn’t be enough new theatrical releases each month worth seeing…

question of the day: Is ‘Newsweek’s undead-Diana cover a journalistic abomination, a terrible mistake, or merely good clean fun with a dead celeb?

This is not journalism. It’s not even fiction. It’s fan fiction.

Most disappointing, too, if that doesn’t fit into the “worsts” category for you…

question of the day: Which films that almost everyone hates do you love?

Maybe you admit they’re bad, or maybe you think that everyone else is wrong…

question of the day: When celebrities clash, is it okay to declare winners and losers, or is that just too much meanspirited fun for mere mortals to have?

For example: Darren Aronofsky and Rachel Weisz split up; he goes on to have the biggest hit of his career, she marries James Bond. Who wins?

question of the weekend: How long will it be before gay marriage is taken for granted?

Sat, Jun 25, 2011

New York State last night did something wonderful: its senate passed a gay-marriage bill, and Governor Andrew Cuomo signed it. All my gay friends in NYC are now free to be as miserable as my straight friends by getting hitched to someone totally wrong for them…

question of the day: Can two actors play best friends in one story and enemies in another without driving fans of both projects crazy?

You know, like how Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are swapping sides as they move between Sherlock and The Hobbit…

question of the day: What are you favorite not-so-dumb crass comedies, à la ‘Bad Teacher’ and ‘Bad Santa’?

Thu, Jun 23, 2011

I fully expect that many of you will consider some movies not-so-dumb that I have railed against as so-totally-dumb. Have at it.

question of the day: What the heck could J.K. Rowling be up to with Pottermore.com?

Wed, Jun 22, 2011

Apparently it will happen tomorrow: J.K. Rowling’s new Web site Pottermore will go live with… something.

question of the day: What’s the most preposterous casting concept you can imagine?

Have you heard? Snoop Dogg wants to play Benny Hill in a movie. What could be more ridiculous than that?
