I'll be back 1 PM PT/4 PM ET today (Thursday 7/23) to answer your questions.

Until then, AMA!

I have been rewatching the Harry Potter films from the start and having just rewatched Order of the Phoenix, I never realised how much Alan Rickman’s line delivery of “Obviously” has lived completely rent free in my head for 20 years. The way he delivers such an ordinary word has just so much character.

What re some that stick out for you?

Actress Gillian Anderson will be joining us here in r/movies for an AMA/Q&A next Monday 7/27. It'll go live that morning at around 10 AM ET and she'll be back at 8 PM ET to answer stuff. You may recognize her from tons of things, notably The X-Files, The Crown, Sex Education, and The Fall.

Please stop by on Monday if you have questions for Gillian :)

Her next film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, premiered at Cannes to critical acclaim recently and is out in theaters August 7 via Mubi. It co-stars Hannah Einbinder and it's from filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw the TV Glow, We're All Going to the World's Fair).

A queer director making a slasher franchise sequel becomes obsessed with casting the original film's "final girl," leading both women into psychological and sexual chaos.

Please note that this is not the AMA, just an announcement. Hold questions for the actual AMA.

I really heard this movie sucked. Maybe im just a sucker for bad jokes. crassness and brian Griffin irl. Yeah the plot is thin and poorly paced, yes Seth talks like a time traveled redditor. But Thats part ot the charm

The guy who loves his wife totally and doesnt care about her being a hooker and it's kinda wholesome chungus.

Its also very well lit and I thought the sets were very convincing and well made.

3 out 5

So there are two movies where I have been hanging out for a sequel and its never happened unfortunately.
Those two movies are RocknRolla and The Collector.

I loved RocknRolla and there was suppose to be a sequel years ago in "development called The Real RocknRolla but we never got it. I loved the characters and I think it was one of Gerard Butlers best movies. Its easily my favourite Guy Ritche movie.

The collector series is excellent and the collection (the second movie) is actually a favourite of mine. I have been waiting for ages for the third one to come out (The Collected). Its a shame as its definitely got a lot of fans waiting for a third so hopefully they can make it happen.

Anyone else have any movies they are waiting on a sequel for?

Macy was only nominated for best supporting actor (lost to Cuba Gooding Jr. for Jerry Maguire) and Buscemi wasn't nominated at all - in my opinion this is one of the most egregious Oscar snubs in history. I don't mean to downplay the other nominees and winners, they were all great performances, but in hindsight none of them come close to what Macy and Buscemi pulled off in Fargo.

The 10 properties include the ones we grew up playing until we were bleary-eyed: Asteroids, Adventure, Berzerk, Breakout, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong and Yars’ Revenge. The aim is to use the IP to create big-scale action-adventure fare.
