question of the day: What actor who hasn’t already done so should play Ebenezer Scrooge?
I bet Morgan Freeman would be awesome as Scrooge…
question of the day: What’s the worst movie you’ve ever seen?
I’m talking real, down-to-earth, honest-to-awfulness, worst movie you’ve ever seen. Not the movie that’s so bad it’s great. Not a guilty pleasure you acknowledge is terrible but you have a sneaking fondness for anyway. Nope: I want you to dredge up the most excruciating memory of a movie-watching experience you can manage without blowing out a cranial artery.
question of the day: Is it better to be pirated than to be forgotten?
Fan “pirates” out-of-print comic, and creator heartily approves. Can Hollywood learn a lesson from this?
question of the day: What would be the best Christmas present Hollywood could give movie fans?
My request: An across-the-board, industrywide contractual obligation that if a movie isn’t awesome, it doesn’t get released.
question of the weekend: Snow: Love it? Hate it? Wish there was more or less of it where you live?
Christmastime is typically associated with snow, but it isn’t always in the forecast in many places that celebrate the holiday…
question of the day: What are the best movie titles ever?
It doesn’t matter whether the movies attached to the titles ended up sucking. What matters is whether a title is so evocative, so imaginative, so funny, so weird, so whatever that just the title alone made you want to see the movie and hope that it would live up to the awesomeness implied by its name.
question of the day: Are there any celebrity breakups we actually need to know about?
Oh noes! Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are getting a divorce! Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have broken up! Those two actors from Dexter who got married are splitting! Where will it all end? And at the holidays, no less! So sad!
question of the day: Is Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg really the Person of the Year 2010?
In a busy news year with lots of major stories impacting the world — from the BP spill to Wikileaks to Afghanistan officially becoming the longest war in American history — does Time’s choice make sense?
question of the day: What is your favorite geeky holiday movie or TV special?
Following up on yesterday’s question — Why are there no Christmas movies this year? — let’s talk about the great holiday films of the past… and specifically, the great holiday movies with geek appeal. Bonus points if your suggestion is on DVD so we can all give it a watch this holiday season.
