Finally, I return and post something of interest. The question for this week is:
Do you think directors have a signature? Can you identify the director of a film, just by watching it, without knowing in advance who the actual director is? If you answer yes to the first two questions, do you think this is true of all directors, or just a select few?
Post your answers on your blog, but don't forget to leave a link to the post here, so any other participants can come and have a read. If you don't have a blog, just post your comments below.

Update
It has been ages since I posted here. Sorry about that. I started this blog with the best of intentions, but you know what they say about good intentions. The truth is I forgot to post here so often, it slipped my mind completely. I think the idea of posting on a Sunday was never a good one, I tend to do non-internet stuff on a Sunday.
Anyhow, you may be pleased to hear I have decided to revamp the blog and bring it back to life. I'll post a weekly film themed meme type thang, and also some trivia and film reviews. As far as the reviews go, I'm not going to try to compete with the blogs which already review the latest releases, I don't get to the cinema that often and other people do the job so much better than I could. Instead, I hope to concentrate on the films (I think) you really should see.
That's all for now. Be back soon.

Cast That Classic Week 3 - And Now For The Wizards
This week the subject is Pratchet's wizards, those eccentric and ever so slightly arrogant residents of the Unseen University. I'm not going to ask you to go through them all, just the three main ones, Ridcully, The Dean and The Bursar. You will find my suggestions in the comments below, if you want to take part, post your response to your blog, then come back here and leave the url so we can pop over and take a look. If you don't have a blog, that's no problem, just leave your answers as a comment.

Cast That Classic Week 2 - Pratchetts's Witches
The subject of this week's Cast That Classic is the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to cast each and every character, in fact, I'm going to break them down into separate parts. This week, we concentrate on the Witches, because they are amongst my favourites*, and because it's my meme, so I can. So, post your suggestions for:
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick.
Either post your answers here, or on your own blog, don't forget to pop back and leave the url so I can have a peep at your answers. And speaking of answers, here are mine:
Granny Weatherwax - Emma Thompson
Nanny Ogg - Julie Walters
Magrat Garlick - Emma Chambers
* In fact, I like them so much, I want to be Nanny Ogg when I grow up.

Cast That Classic Week 1 - The African Queen
OK, forgive the really naff title, I have a terrible job trying to think of good ones. (On the plus side, I could probably get a job writing headlines for the tabloid press.) Getting back to the point, I have really caught the meme bug, so much so, that I thought I would come up with one of my own. I thought long and hard about suitable subjects, so many are already covered more than adequately, and finally I decided on . . . Cast That Classic. The idea is, each week I pick a book, or film and you Dear Reader, post suggestions for a possible cast.
This week the subject is the 1951 classic, The African Queen. You can read about the original version here. And when you have done that, post your suggestions for the characters of Charlie Allnut, Rose Sayer, and Rev. Samuel Sayer. If you are feeling brave, you could also suggest a possible director. You can either answer here, or on your own blog, but don't forget to post the url here, so that we can all come over and have a read.
My own answers are:
Charlie Allnut - Robert De Niro
Rose Sayer - Jodie Foster
Rev. Samuel Sayer - Stephen Fry
Director - Ridley Scott
