I’ve taken part in a regular Twitter movie discussion event called Movie Talk On Sunday (or #MTOS for short) for a while now. It involves a different host each week taking up the mantle by asking a set of 10 questions on a particular topic.

This coming Sunday, April 15th I am stepping up to the plate and hosting. My chosen subject? Weird movies. I am generally a fan of movies that are strange, surreal, off-kilter and generally just a bit odd. The topic isn’t specific to any genre or whathaveyou, just any movies that elicit such reactions as “WTF?!” or “HUH?” The kind of movies that are not easy to pin down.

As always #MTOS takes place on Twitter at 8pm GMT, so take note those in the US/Canada etc how that translates to what time it is where you are. You should follow me on Twitter @rosstmiller so it’s clear and easy for you to see the questions as they move along.

However, if you want to prepare in advance for the event here are the set questions below:

1. What is the weirdest movie you’ve ever seen and why?

2. Are you generally a fan of weird movies? Does the fact that it’s weird draw you to it or put you off?

3. Are there any movies that are considered weird that you don’t find weird?

4. Conversely, are there any movies you find weird that nobody else seems to?

5. Is there such a thing as a movie being too weird for its own good?

6. Which directors do you think are best at making weird movies?

7. Are there any actors or actresses you associate with weird movies (or just being weird in general!)?

8. Are there any movies you thought were going to be weird (from the trailer or word of mouth etc.) that turned out not to be?

9. What are some mostly non-weird movies that have one or two weird scenes?

10. Try and come up with as weird of a movie plot as you can. For extra fun you could include a director and actors. Be creative!

Movie Talk On Sunday is an initiative to get the Twitter Film Community together at one time and one day each week to discuss various film related topics. The aim of the whole exercise, besides having fun is to find new individuals who share the same passion for films as you do and also in the process find out about different aspects about movies. You can count on finding about new movies, interesting facts, and who knows even gossip.

How Does It Work?

It really is simple. There are 10 questions. We will throw out 1 question relating to the weeks topic every 10 minutes starting at 20:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) every Sunday evening. All the questions and subsequent answers/discussions, by you, should simply be followed by #MTOS. In your Twitter “search” you can type in #MTOS and follow what everyone is saying and henceforth answer back and take part. If you “like” someone’s answer simply Re-Tweet it like you would normally on Twitter.

In order to make #MTOS more interactive we have started asking everyone to post their blog links related to the topic of the week throughout the week with the hashtag (#MTOS) so that everyone can simple search #MTOS at any time and read interesting write-ups before the actual event that Sunday.

#MTOS is all about you. We will try and make the questions open ended with multiple answers. Let the discussions go off in a tangent if you find someone who agrees/disagrees with what you think. Just remember to #MTOS everything so someone neither one of you follow can also join in.

Important : Please, please, please avoid profanity and behave in a civilized manner.
