A weekly thread devoted to the discussion of movies
Well, I had a thread half written up for this week but in order to make my life more difficult I decided to do a quick new post the day before this goes live based on current events. And in … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/09)
All movies are many moving parts coming together (i’m pretty sure I covered this recently but bear with me for a minute). Directors need to direct the actors where to act while they wear the costumes from the costumers. The … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/02)
Movieacados! It is again getting to be a special time of year for some movie fans, and that time of year is the quest for gold hehehe, gold! More accurately Oscar gold. In my real life I stop watching movies … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (11/25)
Movieacados! This week I have been super slow. Comic Convention hangover mixed with new work job means I have been super slack in writing this weeks prompt. Whereas the average is week to week I am about a whole prompt … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (11/18)
Heads up Movieacados, short header this week as I am losing about 3/4 of the week to my local sci-fi/comic/nerd convention as I am an organizer of said convention and we are now in crunch time. Last week I almost … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (11/11)
With the passing of Drew Struzen just a very short time ago I thought it would be timely to revisit the poster discussion (originally this was a Oct 2024 prompt). First a little about my history with movie posters. I … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (11/04)
Well after all this horror talk it is finally here, Halloween week. Aside from the season, there is no real setting to Halloween. In my case late October is chilly but not usually too cold, often wet but not often … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/28)
Movieacados! It is still spooky season so I am running with the month of Octob-Horror and looking at aspects of horror movies that are cool and fun and awesome. Last week was an in depth dive into props which at … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/21)
Movieacados! Last weeks prompt about horror movie recommendations really got me thinking, mostly due to that silver floaty Phantasm Murder Ball. I have been thinking about the iconography in horror movies and since they often do not have money to … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/14)
Well, it is that time of year again. October might actually be my favourite time for movie watching because I usually shift gears for the month and focus on Horror/Thriller/Horror adjacent genre mash-ups, that’s right, it is now Octob-Horror! Usually … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/07)
Today is National Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. A day that is meant for the recognition of the Survivors of Canada’s residential school system, their families and their communities and the abuses that happened as a result. The last … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (09/30)
This past few weeks have provided a few really great movie conversations for me. Movie conversations can be really long and in depth where people get real far into a film, themes, characters etc, or conversely really light where a … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (09/23)
In the past I have been fairly down on franchises and what not. While I do not dislike them inherently I do often participate as I love seeing movies and going to movies and participating in movie discussions. However when … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (09/16)
This past weekend I was lucky enough to see Jaws in IMAX. A packed theatre for one of my favourite movies included many who had not seen it before, and both the screening and the crowd did not disappoint. On … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (09/09)
On the list of movies being released this week is The Conjuring: Last Rites, which is notable for a bunch of reasons, but most importantly it got me thinking for this weeks prompt topic. This past October I was doing … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (09/02)
Well being as this will be the last Weekly Movie Thread for August I will count it as the end of Summer Blockbuster Season. Now I am aware that most Blockbusters should have been released by July and August usually … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (08/26)
I grew up in a small town. Not village of just a few houses small, but if I meet someone on the street where I currently live, I could tell them my hometown is smaller than yours and be right … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (08/19)
Tomorrow is Wednesday… known more commonly as the day after the Weekly Movie Thread. But more importantly as of tomorrow I will have been running this thread for one full year! When I started doing this I wasn’t sure how … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (08/12)
OK, so this coming week we have a new movie release in the form of a reboot of The Naked Gun (that is the right term here I think, Neeson seems to be playing the son of Frank Drebin). The … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (08/05)
Life sometimes takes a bit of an unexpected turn. Sometimes you have nothing to do for weeks but write weekly movie thread posts. All of the discussion prompts flowing out of you like an eternal cinematic idea river. Other times … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (07/29)
This week sees the Smurfs returning to theatres for another go at it while Superman continues to fly high. I will not be commenting too much on the viability or quality of Smurf franchise movies because instead I was thinking … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (07/22)
