stop staring. Everyone knows you're jealous of my Joan Crawford tank top. It's been ages since we did a Q&A and I feel so disconnected so let's do one. I've been experiencing rather a lot of chaos offline and one of the personal life upheavals involves a move (If you've ever moved after living in the same place for well over a decade, you know it's traumatic!).
The moving isnt actually happening quite yet so please distract me. Ask me a good movie question. (Please nothing that would require a full essay or a top ten list) and I'll pick a handful or two to answer this week, perhaps on the regular. If you asked a really good one previously that I didn't answer feel free to re-ask (I know I face-planted last time but 2017 was not kind to me so forgive/forget). Okay? Okay.

How do you feel about Luca Guadagnino's intention to film sequels to Call Me by Your Name?
Where did you get The Piano t-shirt you gifted to Nick. I want one. Top 3 movie of all time.
I've just known Noah Baumbach has a new movie in pre-production: and it stars Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. What do you know about this project? Can it work as the vehicle for Driver and Johansson first (overdue) Oscar nominations?
Time machine time. Of the movies nominated since (oh, I don't know) 2010, name one movie in each year that, regardless of your personal preference, you think cinephiles will most likely remember fondly in 20 years.
1939 often is cited as the best year for the largest number of great and important films released. Do you have another year or years in mind that rivals 1939?
RE Hong Chau will the Academy overcome their aversion to Asian actresses.
Do you hope to see Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett in one movie? If it were a remake, which movie do you think should it be?
Only you get to pick Best Actor, and there are only TWO nominees. You are not allowed to rely on sentiment to give a career Oscar. You are not allowed to make history by awarding the Oscar to the youngest Best Actor ever. Based on pure, personal preference, who wins Best Actor - Timothée Chalamet OR Gary Oldman?
Do you think the accusations against Franco cost him a nomination this year? And if so, who do you think got the nomination in his place - Kaluuya, Day-Lewis or Washington?
Re-cast the 2017 lead actress nominee roles with the 1950 lead actress nominees!
The critical success of Call Me By Your Name is long overdue. Are there are any noteworthy works of LGBT fiction that you would like to see adapted for the big screen?
Not really a question, but can we get a Hallelujah! for a year with no category fraud at the Oscars?
