Are we talking writer of film criticism/theory or
screenwriter?? If we're talkin' film critics, Simon
Abrams is my favorite of the new critics on the
scene in my age group.
If the quiz meant screenwriters though-- I think Mia

writer & director.

I don't like the 1990 miniseries of King's It.. Tim Curry
is great in it but that creepy-ass book deserved so much
better. It should get a new feature film remake!
Especially if they just focus on the part where
"the Losers" are kids. And if that film does well,
green-light a sequel about when they're adults.

Multiplex owners could invest in training traditional
projectionists & screen things in 35mm (or 70mm) until
digital projectors reach a higher resolution. Don't buy cheap-o
projectors just to save a buck. It looks horrible, especially on
3D films. Also always have a staff member
on call who can eject disruptive viewers &
people playing on their cellphones. Moviegoers could improve
cinemas by actually going to more movies & being courteous
once they're there.
