Hello. My name is Zack Parks and I am a movie geek. ("Hello, Zack!") All my life, I seemed to have been at the wrong place at the wrong time. For example, in my high school in West Tennessee, I was tormented relentlessly because of my love of Star Wars. People were like, "Star Wars is lame, ya pussy!" Thankfully, college is a world of difference. But if you are unaware, I am not alone. Thanks to Twitter, I have been able to get connected with film fans all across this great land of America and abroad. It helps to talk with people who are just as intelligent (if not more so) about the cinematic subjects I hold so dear. And now, you can too with Movie Talk on Sunday (#MTOS)!
What is Movie Talk on Sunday (#MTOS)? At 20:00 GMT (3:00 EST) every Sunday on Twitter, movie fanatics join together on Twitter to rap about about different genres of film. A different blogger hosts each week and posts questions for discussion. There are 10 questions, with one posted every 10 minutes.
All you have to do is go to Twitter on Sunday at your designated time and search #MTOS. Make sure all your tweets have that hashtag as well so others can find you and join in on the conversation. Also, be sure to number your answers with A1, A2, etc.
This Sunday, I will be bringing time travel (a subject I am dearly familiar with) to the table of #MTOS.
1. What is your favorite time travel movie?
2. What is your favorite genre associated with time travel?
3. What is your favorite method of time travel in movies?
4. What film character(s) would you time travel with?
5. What is your favorite era of time travel?
6. What cinematic future do you prefer - dark and Orwellian or bright and happy?
7. Name some time travel movies that just don't interest you?
8. If time traveling, what one snack would you carry with you? (fun question)
9. If you could time travel and stop one movie from being made, which one?
10. If you had a time machine, where/when would you go?
So, be sure to hop into your DeLorean, step into your TARDIS, sit back and relax in your H.G. Wells time chairs and follow me through time for #MTOS!!

1. What is your favorite time travel movie?
ReplyDeleteI can't pick a favorite, but PRIMER depicts what time travel would probably be like if it were a reality.
2. What is your favorite genre associated with time travel?
Speculative science rom-com fiction.
3. What is your favorite method of time travel in movies?
A horse-drawn carriage full of dames from the 1920's.
4. What film character(s) would you time travel with?
Mr. Peabody
5. What is your favorite era of time travel?
Era in time travel movies or era to travel to?
6. What cinematic future do you prefer - dark and Orwellian or bright and happy?
Bright and happy is a nice idea, but it's full of shit, so dark and Orwellian.
7. Name some time travel movies that just don't interest you?
BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE did nothing for me. But I did enjoy parts of BOGUS JOURNEY.
8. If time traveling, what one snack would you carry with you? (fun question)
Astronaut food.
9. If you could time travel and stop one movie from being made, which one?
I hate to say it, but part of me wishes STAR WARS had never been made. Nothing against it as a movie, but it pretty much ruined science fiction in mainstream movies.
10. If you had a time machine, where/when would you go?
Hollywood during the silent-era.
Nice, Zack. Should be a fun MTOS.
