One of the best parts of blogging is talking to the people I encounter and discussing movies and other things with them. I did a post like this a while back that I found very interesting and well received. And as I do like to promote talk between everyone, I wanted to do another one of these posts. So ask away fellow bloggers. All your questions will be answered. Just make sure no questions are offensive or nasty. Anything else is fine and I look forward to your questions as I am sure you guys have some cool questions.

Hi Liam. I started blogging for a college project when we had to write about something we had a great interest in. I decided to continue with blogging and now I’ve been doing it for four years.

Don’t stress Vinnie…I haven’t seen it and probably won’t…just isn’t tempting me…besides, I don’t particularly like watching Matthew McConaughey (sorry, I may be shallow but I just can’t watch him. Maybe I just haven’t seen him in the right role).

What a question. I guess I would say Hannibal. And I would have removed some of the humour that was in it. The Silence of the Lambs was a masterpiece, but Hannibal as a follow up was a bit muddled. Though Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore were both very good.

It would be interesting to see if it changed our minds about fellow bloggers. We would all have to put something on You Tube first, then add a link. Otherwise, you have to have a premium account to upload video, or your own website.

I quite like the mystery that surrounds bloggers. It is always interesting to hear people’s answers and be surprised when they reveal something that you hadn’t, in your mind, associated with that blogger. I love trying to “picture” the person behind the blog and try guess their age, their location, their gender.

I can’t explain – it goes further than just the pic – it is a combination of that together with various comments and conversations we have (thus little revelations) that builds up a personality behind the pic . I can’t put anything concrete to it. But, I just associate “Vinnie” and my own personality I’ve fabricated of you with the picture you have (what movie by the way – I know it but can’t place it?). And I don’t mean that in a totally creepy way. It likewise happens when I’m dealing with people via e-mail or so and build up an image of them.
