Anybody seen ACROSS THE UNIVERSE? It is my favorite mainstream movie in a long time. I had the soundtrack album before I saw the movie, and with a couple exceptions, I wasn't really in love with the renditions. But the movie just...

MrWilshire Yeah, the Eddie Izzard ("Mr. Kite) sequence is hilarious. The Blu-Ray special features mentioned that he improvised the track in the studio before lip-synching to playback during shooting.

Barack Obama left Jeremiah Wright's Church today-- did he leave Wright though?

venticius @venticius (156) • United States 31 May 08

I believe that Obama has a fishy connection to Wright's Church, and I don't know how someone can attend a reverend's services for 20 years and not know how anti-American the Rev is. Do you that Obama really didn't know how...

MrWilshire Some people seem to think a church is a sort of club where identically-minded people get together. I have attended predominately white churches most of my life, but for two years I went to a church where my family were the only white faces in a sea of black. I...

Does anybody own a multi-region/all-region DVD player? Did it cost much? Is it worth it?

MrWilshire The sad thing for consumers is that there really is no such thing as a "single-region" DVD player. The same model of Sony, Philips, Toshiba, Harmon-Kardon, etc., that gets shipped to the U.S. goes, in identical form, to Europe (Region 2), Australia (Region 6),...

How often do you rent a movie from the video store?

kiran1978 @kiran1978 (4134) • Australia 31 May 08

Lately with the rainy weather and being home to look after my baby I have been renting movies nearly once a week. They have some good deals on lately where you get 2 new releases and 3 weekly movies for $12.95, that is a good...

MrWilshire As much as I used to lament the slowdown in people going OUT to the movies, I have now become someone who ONLY watches movies on DVD. At your typical multiplex, you have jiggly images, badly-serviced projectors (which are loaded by the same guy who sells you...

Americans do you like foreign movies? What's your favorites?

dreamy1 @dreamy1 (3811) • United States 27 Jan 08

This can be answered by any nationality but I was curious about what Americans specifically thought about foreign movies because I don't feel that we are as exposed to other cultures as others. I love watching foreign movies....

MrWilshire I just signed up on myLot, so I'm tardy in joining this discussion. I have a respect for all the films you mentioned, especially 2046, which carries on with the male character introduced in Wong's IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE. In Ang Lee's recent LUST, CAUTION, Tony...

MrWilshire I've never mixed beer with coconut milk, but if you ever need to prove your courage, try this: half cola, half beer. Okay, it's not going to be your favorite drink, but it is way better than you'd think it's be! Shoot, maybe it's even better when drunk from a...

I'm new to myLot, and this may be a redundant message. I need the lyric "Spread the word around, guess who's back in town?" from "The Boys are Back in Town" rendered into Latin. It's for a spec script I'm writing concerning rogue...

Fellow writers....help me conspire

I have a story in me that is just screaming to get out. But I have suffered from writer's block for so long (recently recovered) that my focus is gone in a matter of minutes. I never was one for the pen and paper....always...

MrWilshire To address focus issues, I once found some good advice in a screenwriting textbook: find the "Controlling Idea" of your story. It is something that you hold constantly in mind, and is a filter through which every word of narrative or line of dialog must pass....
