Are films primarily art or entertainment? (Friday Question Fun)

Friday Question Fun

First off, I’d really like to apologize for falling so far behind here. My last post was exactly a week ago with another Friday Question Fun entry. I have been oddly busy at work and haven’t really had time for the site or, to be honest, movie watching in general. I STILL need to have my stats wrap-ups for 2012 and I’m just embarrassed I haven’t done it at this point. I wish things were different, but they look to stay this way for a little bit.

As for this week’s question…

Are films primarily art or entertainment?

When is a film too long? (Friday Question Fun)

Friday Question Fun archive

Last weekend, my wife, mother, and I saw Lincoln and while it’s undeniably one of the better movies of 2012, it felt like a much longer movie than it is. In fact, I hear fairly often that people don’t like sitting through movies that go on past two hours.

When do you feel like a film is too long?

Do you avoid watching movies past that length?

What movies are you looking forward to in 2013? (Friday Question Fun)

Friday Question Fun

I’m nearly done with all my 2012 business so I promise to be moving into 2013 goals and happenings for the site (and an updated banner) soon. For now, we can start looking forward to what 2013 will bring us in terms of movies.

What movies are you looking forward to in 2013?

Do you still have a lot of 2012 movie watching yet to do?

What were your favorite movies of 2012? (Friday Question Fun)

Can you believe it’s 2013, you guys? I can’t.

To kick off Friday Question Fun in the new year, I thought  we could take a brief look backward and reminisce what our favorites of 2012 were.

What should my 2013 goal be? (Friday Question Fun)

Can you believe this is the final Friday of 2012?  I can’t.

I also can’t believe that – barring some unforeseen circumstance – I was able to watch 300 movies this year. I admire those of you that were able to watch more than I did because keeping a full time job, other hobbies, AND writing for the site has taken a ton of time…and that doesn’t even include finding time to watch movies!

A sincere thank you to everyone that has read anything on my site for your support. I have had a great time writing my thoughts on movies and taking the time to chat with so many wonderful people this year. Now, I have a favor of you to ask.

What should my 2013 movie watching goal be?

What are your favorite holiday movies? (Friday Question Fun)

Previous Friday Question Fun entries

Well, it’s Friday and it’s Christmastime, many of us have been catching up on all our holiday favorites, including myself. There are just a few days remaining in the year and I’ve got to cram in about a movie a day which should be fine given the number of movies on TV, including my favorite. So…

What are some of your favorite holiday movies?

If you had to pick just one, what would it be?

Does product placement bother you? (Friday Question Fun)

Previous Friday Question Fun entries

This week, I was inspired by my friend Justin over at Today I Watched A Movie. For his scoring system he devotes a whole section to product placement and every time I read a review of his I ponder this question myself.

Does product placement bother you?

This week, my Friday question is a bit special and I’ll explain that a bit more later.

Have you ever taken a movie-themed vacation?

Where would you want to travel for a movie-themed vacation?

Do you buy or rent movies? (Friday Question Fun)

Friday Question Fun

Since I think this is strictly a US thing…for those of you outside the US, the day after Thanksgiving most stores have huge sales/promotions in an effort to kick off holiday shopping called Black Friday. Malls become filled with pushy shoppers, streets become littered with idiotic drivers, and wallets become empty and abused. But man, some deals can be had!

So the question this week is split:

Do you normally buy or rent movies?

If you are in the US, what Black Friday deals are you taking advantage of?
