What's on your cinematic mind?
Do tell as we try to catch up behind the scenes. Somehow we ended up a couple of days behind, despite frantic movie blogging.
What's the last movie you watched? What movie keeps popping into your head today? Etcetera.
Saturday, July 18, 2015 at 10:20PM Team Experience and I have been talking off blog about how better to handle TV coverage going forward. The disappointing Emmy nominations reminded us that while there's plenty of great work being done on TV, focusing on the Emmys turns out to be not even remotely the best way to honor it since they only have time for about 10 shows which they hang on to year after year. While we're never going to become The TV Experience (you need not worry movie-going cinephiles) nor will we be joining the traditional recapping game --- we experimented a bit but there's more than enough of that online and it wasn't really our thing -- but with the big screen / small screen / web screen lines are ever blurrier it's time to have at least a weekly column devoted to it.
Plus, the whole time I was watching Penny Dreadful Season 2, I was like 'Nathaniel, WHY are you not discussing this regularly with TFE readers? It's so gonzo and worth talking about!'
So our questions to you (yes even you who never comment - speak up) are:
1. What are your 10-15 favorite current shows that you (here's the key part of the question) most love to read about / discuss with others?
2. What are your 10 favorite shows of all time (that are no longer airing)?
3. Which shows that are not endlessly obsessed over online (like, say, Game of Thrones), should be?
Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 9:10PM We've taken the weekend off but for the big 1948 Smackdown tomorrow... which is plenty!
But what's on your cinematic mind in this crazy joyful weekend of SCOTUS rulings, unprecedented Presidential speeches ("Amazing Grace" - just...wow), and parades? Will you have time for movies?
Is any particular movie/actor/director/theme on your mind?

An open question for all readers. We've often expressed disdain for the internet model (prevalent on most well-read movie sites, even the good ones) in which the bulk of conversation about a movie happens BEFORE its release. But what to do about it? We try our best here to talk about movies mostly after they open (with the exception of the YNMS series, Oscar predictions and short news bits) which has surely cost us readers in the anticipatory-madness of current online culture. However one thing we're not good about is knowing when to discuss films. WHEN DO YOU SEE NEW MOVIES? Are you at the movie theater every week? Do you VOD? Do you rent DVDs? Do you just bit torrent everything (naughty-naughty)? Or are you totally beholden to when Netflix decides to stream something if, in fact, they ever get around to streaming it at all? (Netflix, once a godsend for cinephiles, has become something of a curse.)
It used to be so much simpler when there was just one release date but now viewing is so staggered between so many types of services, subscription and pay-per-view models, and so many exclusivity windows that it's hard to even have a DVD column that's anything close to relevant. (It's the chief reason, I believe, why piracy has grown so large and rampant: there are just too many obstacles to audience seeing a movie they want to see when they want to see it). I ask these question because so many movies we've discussed in the past but perhaps in not as much detail as we should have are released each week on DVD. Recent newbies that I've wondered if we should discuss again or in more detail (links go to previous coverage) include: The Last Five Years, Miss Julie, Mr Turner, Selma, Fifty Shades of Grey, Paddington, Mommy, The Boy Next Door, Inherent Vice. And each week brings new titles fitting that same criteria. In the coming weeks Beloved Sisters, Blackhat, Still Alice, American Sniper, and Leviathan among others arrive.
Any thoughts on the problem of staggered viewing and how to unite us all?

Come on, tell us. You definitely have something to say. What's on the tip of your tongue?
(I mean... on the tip of your tongue besides the rumored Best Picture shrinking, the MTV Awards and the 50th birthday of The Sound of Music)
