The Moxie is Moving

I'm sorry, dear blog readers

Written by Dan

I've been noticably absent from the comment and forum interaction for quite some time. As I noted in the past, there's a definite correlation between how busy I am at the theater and how involved I get with the blog. There was once I time when the blog and I were quite... "intimate," shall we say. Whenever a new comment was posted, I was quick to respond with a comment of my own. I used to compliment the blog. Take it out for dinner. We were tight. Now I won't even return the blog's phone calls. When I see the blog in public, I pretend like I'm searching for loose change on the ground so I don't have to talk to it. It's a sad, sad situation. With that being said, I've noticed a lot of questions floating around in the comments as of late. Nicole has answered most of them, but a lot of them are still dangling out there... on the ledge of a building... like Goldie Hawn in Bird on a Wire... waiting for a mulleted Mel Gibson to save her. Anyways, I think it's time for a new Q&A session.

So, for those of you who are new to the game or have forgotten the rules, here's how it goes: if you have a question, stick it in the comments section of THIS post and I'll try my darnedest to answer each and everyone of them in my NEXT post, which will either be late tomorrow night or sometime on Tuesday. I'll even answer what our first film will be, if anyone's still wondering. I won't, however, give you my social security number. Everything else is fair play!

So reach deep inside you... deeper... DEEPER... there you go. Now see that burning pile of trash over there in the corner? Yeah, the one by the Dr. Pepper can. That's a burning question that you've been dying to ask. Go ahead... drink that Dr. Pepper. It's good isn't it? Now pick up the burning question. WAIT! No! I meant ASK the burning question, not PICK UP the burning question! Sorry. Well, what did you expect? All fire is hot! Ok, ask your question so I can go to sleep. Thanks.

When is the test screening (or two)?

Are you still looking into setting up a MSU course through the Moxie?

How willing are you going to be in showing local college student short films?

Will you be holding any festivals in conglomeration with the Missouri Film Alliance?

Did the popcorn popper ever get fixed?

I asked six questions the last time, so this time I will give you a break and make it only five. I'm thoughtful like that.

Dan, top five musical crimes perpetrated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s. Go. Sub-question: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?

Are you one of those guys that can easily grow a beard or does it take a while for the hair to grow?

Have you invited anyone famous to the opening night, if so, who?

If a cat always lands on its feet, and a piece of buttered bread always lands butter-side down, what would happen if you strapped a piece of buttered bread to the back of a cat?

So, it's just over a week til opening night and some of us might like to know: a) what movie are you showing and 2) what are the movie times and iii) how much will tickets cost? You might even consider putting that info on your phone call-in line, since it doesn't seem to be anywhere on your website. Thanks - I'm trying to become a fan, here!!
