Ask Nathaniel
Monday, May 21, 2018 at 4:19AM We haven't done a Q&A round in forever and I know I haven't been the most reliable of late for answering Qs but let's try for a redemption round. Ask a question. I'll choose two handfuls to answer TOMORROW.

When an actor is allowed to co-design their character's costumes, can you tell just by looking?
What’s your favorite sex scene in a movie?
What's your favorite animal Horror movie?
(In honor of the screenwriter John Greenfeld's death this weekend) I love 'Harry and Tonto!' One of the best road movies ever. And Carney's performance is refreshingly nuanced (unlike most winners today). But many people seem to regard Art Carney's win as weak - what do you think about that Oscar win and/or the film?
What do you think about Sarah Michelle Gellar’s career in film and of her in general as an actress?
In that note, who do you think (if anyone) should have had a better film/tv career of the Buffyverse actors?
Since it is Tony Season. Which Broadway leading lady did you think would have crossed over into Hollywood Stardom by now but hasn't?
I’m curious what you think of Jennifer Lopez regarding her singing and acting. What are your five favorite film/TV performances of hers and your five favourite songs?
And OMG I just saw Buffy_Buff’s question and I LOVE it!
Who is your least favourite major actress of the last 15 years, and why?
Is there a Best Actress performance you were cool on years ago and now think is unforgettable.
Let's play a time-bending game! :)
What contemporary actresses would you have loved to see being directed by these classic directors?
- Alfred Hitchcock
- Billy Wilder
- Bob Fosse
- Charlie Chaplin
- John Ford
OR
What classic directors would you have loved to see directing these contemporary actresses?
- Jackie Weaver
- Rachel Weisz
- Taraji P. Henson
- Toni Collette
- Viola Davis
Or both, if you are feeling generous, or if you are as curious as I am about the readers suggestions :)
I know you have a love for the great Kimberly Elise, but why do you think she isn't getting the best roles to match for amazing talents?
Kimberly Elise! Do you think someone will ever cast her in a role equal of her talents? If so do you think she’ll be a Oscar nominee/winner first or do you think she’ll do better on a top notch tv series/miniseries and get that Emmy?
Your thoughts or hopes for Crazy Rich Asians?
Even though Big Little Lies is coming back for a second season how do you feel about that? And since we are getting Queen Meryl as Perry mother who would you cast as the other ladies mothers and let say Bonnie’s mother is Black (a juicy part for a black actress) ? This should set you in overdrive having all of these actresses going at it!
let say Bonnie’s mother is Black (a juicy part for a black actress)
Crystal Fox already has the role. Look her up since the internet has informed me anything else is labor.
Thoughts on The Laundromat with Streep/Oldman/Banderas?
Who is your favorite journeyman actor/actress that you wish were more famous?
My answer is Jenny Agutter (Logan's Run, Walkabout, American Werewolf, Call the Midwife). Her big 30-second scene in Captain America 2 had me standing and cheering; it was almost a shame she turned into Scarlett Johansson.
Will you apologize to Susan Sarandon now that Hillary -a woman- is not supporting another woman named Cynthia Nixon?
Hilllary is still awesome because Meryl said so!
Two-part question: What are your favorite movies about siblings, and if you had to choose a character who would you pick as your brother/sister?
What are your hopes for the next phase of Madonnas’s career? Small intimate concerts? Juicy autobiography? Edgy film director? Or continued world dominance in music/pop culture?
Do you think Ethan Hawke's First Reformed performance will be remembered at the year end awards?
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the highest grossing foreign film in the US by a huge margin (about $70 mil). What would it take to have another film challenge it for the title?
What film out of Cannes 2018, that wasn't previously on your radar, are you most excited to see?
Were you able to watch the new adaptation of 'Little Women' on PBS' Masterpiece? If so, what did you think?
I was ruminating about Channing Tatum's divorce (as one does) and realized that I never saw "Step Up" for a second time after walking 10 miles to the Cineplex from my job at Walgreens at 1030 PM because my mom wouldn't let me take the car (I didn't have a license, but STILL!). And I also realized that I don't really WANT to see it again, because my experience of rebellion was probably more exciting than the movie.
Are there movies from your formative years that you refuse or were reticent to view again as an adult because you knew they wouldn't hold up and give you the magic feeling they did when they were young?
Favorite movie scene hilighting the human:

Which iconic Isabelle do you prefer: Huppert or Adjani?
