#MTOS - Sunday 28th December - Monster Movies

Movie Talk on Sunday

Sunday 28th December - MONSTER MOVIES

Hosted by @katriona1013

 

 

I love monster movies. I love their schlock, their steep in the Victorian, and their ability to be both about the misunderstood soul-searching for their place in time and the most unique of bloody laughable massacres. In recent years, the latter has become more favourable. 

So let's talk monsters, in all their forms. Let's talk Frankenstein's Monster, the Kaiju, inexplicably large snakes, gorillas too far from the jungle, and the lesser mentioned water predators with a penchant for skinny dippers.

Starting at 20:00 (GMT) on Sunday 28th December 2014, I'll ask one question every 10 minutes. So, please retweet the link and get folk involved in the event. Just make sure you include the question number and the #MTOS hashtag in your tweets when you answer. That way we can keep track of who says what, making discussion and debate that little bit clearer. For example:

"#MTOS A1. Just try and tell me there's a better monster movie than Mommie Dearest." 

And without further ado, here are the topic questions:
 

Q1. What is your favourite serious monster movie?

Q2. What is your favourite monster movie that doesn't necessarily take itself that seriously?

Q3. Is there a monster movie you hate? In the generation of movies that walk the tightrope of pastiche and parody, is there one you simply cannot stand? And why?

Q4. What monster/super-animal do you feel are currently under represented in the current monster movie market?

Q5. What is your favourite type of monster? Examples of its best scenes?

Q6. Which short-lived character from a monster movie do you wish lasted longer in the film than they did and why?

Q7. What's your favourite battle/action scene from a monster movie?

Q8. What's your favourite character death from a monster movie? Do provide links where possible so we can all enjoy.

Q9. What's your favourite tagline from a monster movie? Bonus question - do you have better, more fitting taglines for a particular film?

Q10. If you could have two movie monsters square off against each other, which two would you choose? Which do you think would win?
