I'm the New Ask411 Movie Guy

[WrestlingDeacon 0]

I recently applied at 411Mania.com to be the Q&A guy for the movie section. I was just accepted today and instructed to put together an introductory column to be ready by the beginning of next week. I was told I could just concoct some test questions, but I figure it would be best to see if I could drum up some from people here.

 

Keep in mind that this is NOT trivia with the aim of stumping me. These should be questions that you genuinely don't know the answer to or topics you would like to know more about. I figue most questions will be of the vein of who's that guy, what was this movie and general info on movie making and movie history. Simply post your questions in this thread and I'll try to answer the ones I think would fit best for my first column. I will not be answering questions in this thread or responding personally. Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks.

Okay I've got one.

 

edit: I guess my question really doesn't fit into your criteria, but I'll leave my post here because I'm genuinly curious about it.

Is the ending to Taxi Driver all a dream by Bickle or is it real, because quite frankly either could work.

When is the Kenneth Branagh version of Hamlet coming out on DVD?

 

Is it possible to update the X-Box DVD driver without buying a Microsoft DVD Remote? In other words, is there a place I can download the driver updates so that they can be burned to a CD and used to update the X-Box?

The questions don't have to fit the criteria I listed above. Those are just what I figured that most of them would be like. I do however, want to steer clear of spoiling films or telling people what happens in movies or simply just giving my opinion on matters. However, a specific question like yours that I could basic on some factual info is ok. Thanks for helping though.

Eagan: Your first question was a good one, and a I have an answer for you. It's slated for release in the spring of 2004. No word on exact release date or what extras will be on it.

 

Your second questions seems best suited for the new Ask411 gamers column and I don't think I will include it. Thanks again.

What's the deal with the sudden comeback of the slasher horror movies?

 

Is Johnny Depp the real deal as a big draw?

 

Why so many sequels and which one was the most successful of the past summer?

You rock, thanks.

Why do people love JLo when she sucks?

Hrm, not really a stumper, but it's to do with a semi-obscure 80's movie, something Deacon has a good knowledge of.

 

At the end of Making The Grade (put out in 83-84 I believe, starring Judd Nelson, along with an early performance by Andrew Dice Clay), it says that "Palmer and Eddie (Judd's character and his partner in crime) will be back in Tourista, coming soon." I don't think Tourista ever was made, but are their any details as to why? Perhaps due to The Breakfast Club rising Nelson's star, or just general slacktitude on the part of Cannon Films?

When's the Matrix: Reloaded come out on dvd? Are they gonna release it before the 3rd one, or wait and release it with the 33rd one?

On Wrestlecrap last week there was mention of some movie starring Andrew Dice Clay called "Brain Smasher... A Love Story". What the heck was THAT and is it still widely available?

Sorry to steal the question.

No, ulf, that's cool. Saves me from doing some research. Also, I've seen Brainsmasher and that is an excellent question I'll cover in my first column. Thank you to everyone who has posted questions so far. They've all been pretty good and kind of what I was looking for.

While I'm happy Leo Hayhurst is back on the net with fresh columns, I can't help but think I could answer all my own questions with IMDB or Google.
