A weekly thread devoted to the discussion of movies
Any time you are taking the time to watch a movie you are setting yourself up for some form of emotional response. Happiness, fear, awesomeness (probably more accurately elation), anger and yes even sadness are generally the most common. The … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (02/18)
I have run the numbers, double checked my calculations (for the record I LOVE calculations, any day I get to do math stuff at work automatically makes it better by a factor of X to the power of Y. X … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (02/11)
As new age connected internet movie film nerds I am sure all of us have seen a variety of movies throughout our illustrious consumption of entertainment daily lifestyles. Movies that run the gamut from great friggin movies to god awful … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (02/04)
It may not seem like it, but watching a movie is an event. It may be a small event, but an event nonetheless. You are investing precious time to be entertained in some way shape or form and you are … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (01/28)
January, and to a lesser extend February is traditionally a dumping ground for movies, traditionally theatrical movie releases but more recently movies bought and released on streaming platforms but more on streaming in a bit. Stuff that got made and … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (01/21)
A lot of people who work on movies are creative types. They can act, write, frame a shot or perhaps they are the types who have some really great ideas about how to pull off a special or practical effect … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (01/14)
Did you ever see a preview and think: “That cannot possibly be a thing?” Like you are watching some sort of quick ad for a sketch comedy show, or an Onion style take on a movie trailer? I would be … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (01/07)
Well, we made it, literally the last day of the year. After looking back last week I am always amazed at the creativity, fun and inspiration movies can provide me with every year. And even though I am writing this … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/31)
The great part of these year end posts is that they are pretty much pre-written for me. I know there is a best of film for The Pits, go there and vote and represent and what not. But here we … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/24)
Three prompts to go for the year so I am changing it up this week and starting my year end wrap up with a pretty simple one and a short preamble (relatively… as short as I can be anyway). So … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread 12/17
We have covered Post Apocalyptic futures where all seems hopeless, we have covered Dystopian ones as well where something is wrong, but there is often a light in the distance that says “things can still work out okay”, and most … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/10)
Well I foolishly started an arc on movie types that was supposed to go for three installments Post Apocalyptic movies, Dystopian movies, and the last one is still to be prompted but for now we are going to intermission to … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (12/3)
Well last we went negative and this week we will go also negative, but with a spark of hope at the end. Last week we talked about post apocalyptic so this week we will dial it back a little and … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (26/11)
Last week I went fairly positive in asking for things you have enjoyed so much you are willing to ignore reality for them. So this week it is time to go opposite and deep dive into the dreary, dark, dank, … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (11/19)
Did you ever watch something that was so friggin cool to see up there on the screen, big or otherwise, that it took a long time for you to start questioning if what happened was even possible at all, let … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread 11/12
Holy Crap! It’s election day in America! Being an Eastern Canadian I almost did not make this connection until a couple of days ago where at that point I had a completely different thread prompt ready to go. What is … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (11/5)
Well another spooky season of movies is very almost passed. This is one of my favourite movie times of the year. It is a time where I get to dub it Octobhorror as I am a punny nerd who doesn’t … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/29)
The late and impossibly great Christopher Lee is quoted as saying “Every actor has to do terrible films from time to time, the trick is never to be terrible in them”. It should be said that while I believe I … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/22)
One of the things I love about movies is all of the things. Like a symphony coming together to produce the perfect harmonic resonance movies also depend on a lot of separate items coming together to produce a different type … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/15)
Somewhere along the way I may have mentioned that I am a Movie Geek, possibly once, or at least once each week, who can count that high? Being a Movie Geek as the title suggests means that a. I really … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/08)
Last week I talked about taking a risk and how I got a big reward out of it. This Friday is the official release date for Joker Folie a Deux. For full disclosure I did not really like the first … Continue reading The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (10/01)
