    1. With the nomination of Melissa McCarthy last year and maybe Matthew McCounaghey this year do you think that the oscars are coming around of nominating actors from more big budget films?

    2. Since I won’t be able to make this podcast, I’d like to throw out a little question of my own:

      To celebrate my eyes finally recovering, I decided to watch William Friedkin’s infamous 1977 flop Sorcerer last night and was blown away by the film’s nightmarish jungle imagery and gut-grinding suspense. Not only is it Friedkin’s artistic peak to me, but I would also declare Sorcerer every bit the equal of The Wages of Fear, and have found the critics’ unfavorable comparisons between it and Henri-Georges Clouzot’s classic rather puzzling, especially considering the dearth of truly inferior remakes we get seemingly every year.

      So I turn over the issue of film remakes to my colleagues. What do you think is the best approach to reinterpreting older films, what are the common mistakes you see made that lead to the most egregiously botched attempts (Planet of the Apes, The Stepford Wives, etc.), and what are some of your favorite movie remakes?

    3. I have asked this twice already, but was never answered. Who do you think are the best living directors who have not received an Oscar nomination for Best Director?

    4. Do you think there’s any chance at all for Tom Cruise to get nominated for Rock of Ages?

    5. @ Steve: Are you sure? I could’ve sworn going off on a David Cronenberg/Todd Haynes rant in response to this very question in a previous podcast…
