What are your movie-going habits?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Do you go to the movies alone or with friends/family?  Do you know exactly what movie you're going to see before you get there, or do you stand for 30 minutes outside the box office trying to decide between Pauly Shore and Meryl Streep?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) When you go to the movies, do you usually buy:&lt;br /&gt;   a) Popcorn?  What do you put on it?&lt;br /&gt;   b) Cokes?  What's your favorite?&lt;br /&gt;   c) Candy?  What gets stuck most in your teeth?&lt;br /&gt;   d) Other (hot dog, nachos, sushi)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Do you like it load and raucous in the theatre, or do you immediately stuff crying babies in the nearest waste can?  Do you talk back to the screen and interact with the movie, or do you sink way down in your seat and just experience it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BONUS) What's your favorite, most memorable movie-going experience?  What experience almost (or maybe did) make you vow never to darken the door of a cineplex again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, silence all cell phones, pagers, and electronic devices while answering this quiz.

The film is scheduled to open a year and 1/2 from today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) What is the name of your movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Who are the stars you hire?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) What is the general plot/style/theme of your dream movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to dream - what movie would you, Gentle Reader, like to make yourself with all those resources?  It can be autobiographical, historical, or completely fictional.  Be careful and don't go overbudget (Getting Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, and Robin Williams all in the same film won't leave you enough money to actually shoot, nor will on-location filming on Mars likely leave anything for actors).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BONUS) What's one obstacle you see that could prevent you from achieving this dream movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put your name and link in the comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roll 'em....Action!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7025008-109474057993888491?l=theaterthursday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7025008/posts/default/109474057993888491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7025008/posts/default/109474057993888491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theaterthursday.blogspot.com/2004/09/week-17-and-now-for-something.html' title='Week 17 - And Now For Something Completely Different'/><author><name>Barry Wallace</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1491/82/1600/barry.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025008.post-109397179709382689</id><published>2004-09-01T14:51:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-09-01T14:53:28.166-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Week 16 - When Animals Attack.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://movies.channel.aol.com/movie/main.adp?mid=17652"&gt;Anacondas&lt;/a&gt; opened up in theaters last week.

This week, our questions are about those quintessentially misunderstood, ill-treated, feared and respected champions of truth, justice and the Spandex Way: the Superheroes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) All right, have it out.  What is the all-time greatest superhero movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) What superhero movie has not been made that you'd like to see? Which existing one would you have redone from scratch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) What qualities would be necessary to elevate a superhero movie from a simple action film to a memorable motion picture?  Is it possible?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BONUS) Most superhero movies take place in a more-or-less realistic modern world.  If a superhero actually appeared in your city today and started fighting crime, what would be the actual public reaction?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget to put your name and website in the comments section, and remember:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And remember, &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0498278/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EXCELSIOR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7025008-108860481832957355?l=theaterthursday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7025008/posts/default/108860481832957355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7025008/posts/default/108860481832957355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theaterthursday.blogspot.com/2004/06/week-7-superheroes.html' title='Week 7 - Superheroes'/><author><name>Barry Wallace</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1491/82/1600/barry.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025008.post-108807770636649909</id><published>2004-06-24T07:31:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-06-24T07:50:18.896-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Week 6 - Animals.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.twobrothersmovie.net/ "&gt;Two Brothers &lt;/a&gt;opens this weekend in theaters, the story of two twin tiger brothers that are taken into captivity and seperated.

Its all about animals this week. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Whats your favorite movie with an animal as the main character?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Least favorite? And is it your least favorite because of the species of the main character, or just because it was a bad movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Do you prefer your movie animals to be animated or real?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonus~ If you were to star in an animal movie... What type of species would you want your leading... animal to be. And why? C'mon be creative. Even name your animal flick. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me and my skunk?!?! Yeah, have fun. Remember to leave a link to your blog or your answers in the comments.

This week's Theatre Thursday questions are about those motion pictures that make us want to avoid the water, planes, tall buildings, large cruise ships, angry atomic reptiles and everything in general that makes life enjoyable...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) What's your favorite disaster movie of all time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Do you prefer a disaster movie with tons of special effects, carnage and general mayhem (i.e. &lt;em&gt;Armageddon&lt;/em&gt;) or would you rather see one where the focus is on the people and the event's effects on their lives (i.e. &lt;em&gt;Deep Impact&lt;/em&gt;)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Of all the disaster movies you've seen, which depicts the most realistic portrayal of what might happen in an actual disaster?  Which was the most far-fetched?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bonus)&lt;/em&gt; Which character would you be if you were in a disaster movie - the tough hero, the corrupt businessman who profits from it all, the old lady who runs around and screams "We're doomed!!!", the kid who saves the day, the young guy who buys it in the first five minutes of the disaster, or another stock character?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it till next time!

Trilogies have been popular in the movies for years.  This week we look at questions based on some famous cinematic triumvarites:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The &lt;strong&gt;Back to the Future&lt;/strong&gt; Trilogy sent Marty McFly 30 years into the future, 30 years into the past (twice!) and 100 years into the past.  Which of these time periods would you like to visit in your 1.21 gigawatt-powered DeLorean, and why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Note: Thanks to &lt;a href="http://blog.logtar.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Logtar&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for the idea for this question)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) The &lt;strong&gt;Lord of the Rings&lt;/strong&gt; Trilogy was, of course, based on a famous trio of novels by JRR Tolkien.  What sci-fi/fantasy/genre novels or series would you like to see turned into a Peter-Jackson-directed/George-Lucas-written/Steven-Speilberg-produced trilogy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Next summer, there will be two complete &lt;strong&gt;Star Wars&lt;/strong&gt; trilogies in the history books.  What's your strangest or most interesting Star Wars experience?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bonus)&lt;/em&gt; While the &lt;strong&gt;Jurassic Park&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Indiana Jones&lt;/strong&gt; movies are currently only trilogies, plans are in the works for a fourth movie in both series.  What trilogy might've been better served with a fourth movie?  Which trilogy would've been better if they had left it at only one movie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it till next time!  Be sure to leave your name and blog address in the Comments when you've answered the questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And remember, as the &lt;strong&gt;Terminator&lt;/strong&gt; said in the first part of his famous trilogy, "I'll be back."&lt;a href="http://blog.logtar.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7025008-108558334645268819?l=theaterthursday.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7025008/posts/default/108558334645268819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7025008/posts/default/108558334645268819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theaterthursday.blogspot.com/2004/05/week-2-trilogies.html' title='Week 2 - Trilogies'/><author><name>Barry Wallace</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1491/82/1600/barry.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025008.post-108488725235299556</id><published>2004-05-19T18:23:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-05-20T01:59:44.843-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Week 1 - Animation. </title><content type='html'>&lt;img src=http://img64.photobucket.com/albums/v195/razberi/74_593_763_3642_doryanim.gif&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://movies.channel.aol.com/movie/main.adp?mid=16219"&gt;Shrek 2&lt;/a&gt; opens this weekend in theaters, hoping to be an even bigger hit than the prequel.
