question of the day: What is the most positive, most productive concept for a reality show you can think of?

Thu, May 26, 2011
no comments yet

Surely there must be a way to harness something of the worst-of-human-nature aspect that makes these shows popular while also highighting the best of what we can do…

question of the day: Are you able to find 2D versions of hot new 3D movies in your hometown?

Wed, May 25, 2011

Half of those who saw Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides this past weekend in North America saw in it 2D. Which is almost impossible in some places…

question of the day: Has there ever been a good sequel to a movie made over 10 years after the previous one?

Is there an expiration date on good sequels?

question of the day: Do you feel left out if you don’t see a big movie on opening weekend?

Mon, May 23, 2011

If you don’t head out opening weekend, when do you make it a point to see a big new film: a few weeks later? not till DVD? never?

question of the weekend: How have you prepared for the Rapture?

Sat, May 21, 2011

It is unlikely that you will be among the lucky few who are teleported up into the glorious presence of the Almighty, so you’ll have to have something to keep you busy during the tortures of the damned here on Earth…

question of the day: Should we — films critics and movie lovers alike — include TV movies when we talk about the best movies of the year?

Fri, May 20, 2011
no comments yet

The movie lover in me cheers at the proposition: Hoorah! Let’s celebrate all good movies wherever they appear. But the film critic in me despairs: Damn, I can’t keep up with the theatrical releases, and now I gotta make it a point to see all the major TV-movie premieres, too?

question of the day: How can ‘NCIS,’ the most-watched, most-loved TV show in America, be so absent from online fandom?

Thu, May 19, 2011

Apparently NCIS, the military cop procedural, is the most watched scripted show in the United States. I would not have guessed this if given a million guesses.

question of the day: What movie would you like to see made into a videogame?

Wed, May 18, 2011
no comments yet

What movie milieu would you like to interact with on a gaming level? What movies feature settings and action that would be appropriate to a game? Are there movies that don’t seem obviously like videogames that would work anyway?

question of the day: Does the world need Seth McFarlane’s ‘Flintstones’ reboot?

Tue, May 17, 2011
no comments yet

Because, you know, the world has been absolutely clamoring for a Seth McFarlane reboot of The Flintstones. Our long national nightmare of McFarlane-Flintstone-lessness is finally over!

question of the day: Should women feel obligated to buy a ticket for ‘Bridesmaids’?

Mon, May 16, 2011
no comments yet

I don’t want to see more movies like Bridesmaids, not about women or men, and I can guarantee you that buying a ticket for Bridesmaids will be interpreted by Hollywood as “women want to see grossout comedies”…
