question of the day: What makes a movie “modern”?

Fri, Aug 03, 2012

Is it the use of CGI? Is it blockbusterness (or bucking blockbusterness in the age of blockbusters)? Is it just about being produced after a certain date, and if so, when did the “modern” era of film begin?

question of the day: What movie does your life feel like right now… and which movie would you rather it felt like?

Or maybe there’s a movie character you feel like, and one you’d rather be, or a movie location you feel stuck in and another you’d rather be living in…

Would really really like for you to feel the grand, sweeping, larger-than-life mythos, and borrows willy-nilly from Peter Jackson and Guillermo Del Toro to try to do so.

question of the day: Which film would you gift to a child as an introduction to the wonders of cinema?

The two that jump right to mind for me are, I think, obvious choices: The Wizard of Oz and Star Wars…
