With The Dark Knight breaking box office records faster than anyone can keep up and the film well on its way to being the highest grossing movie of the year (and one of the highest grossing ever), there’s little doubt that a third Batman film from Christopher Nolan and company is forthcoming. 

(WILL PROBABLY CONTAIN SPOILERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT)

Okay, today’s Friday Question is going to be a bit different that normal. I was bored and wanted to shake things up and get a bit more interaction from you all.

I love trivia and entertainment trivia most of all. It’s fun trying to reach back in our memories to find that long lost quote or scene from a film.

So today, I thought we’d all ask some trivia questions until we get blue in the face.

It’s the Fourth of July and I hope everyone has the day off, or at least has great plans tonight for fireworks and fun.

Since it’s a holiday, there wont me much going on here at Pop Critics today. I plan on a nice EARLY morning of golf, followed by a noon-time nap methinks.

Wanted hits theaters today, and without really having seen any reviews for it, I’m still excited about checking it out. Whether it’s actually good or not, I’m positive the action sequences will be awesome.
Whenever a movie comes out with an interesting cast, I like to pick one of the actors that has some film history [...]

Well, we had an interesting debate yesterday over the AFI’s new (or old, as some might say) list of their Top 10 films in 10 classic genres.

There was a lot of groaning over the choices made by the AFI members, who seems to value the old and classic versus the new and perhaps just as good.

The Hulk comes out today and the one reason I have slight hope that it will be good is because of Edward Norton.

He’s a fantastic actor, one of my definite favorites. You always know that you’re going to get a good performance when he’s in the movie you happen to be watching.

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. If I can find a book that sucks me in, I like nothing better than to curl up on the couch, sit outside, or read in my bed until the wee hours of the morning.

And lately I’ve expanded from not just “books” but to also graphic novels and comics.

I realized that in my Top 15 TV Shows on DVD list, I didn’t mention Extras at the end, another show from Ricky Gervais, the creator of The Office.

Never seen but pieces of it, yet I’ve heard it’s hilarious.

It got me thinking about what it’s like to be an extra on a show, and that made me wonder what show I’d want to be on if I WERE to be an extra.

The Friday Question comes to you courtesy of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which hit theaters yesterday.

You may or may not have read my review on the movie yet, but either way, I’m wanting to think back to the original three Indiana Jones movies and remember fondly the greatest moments.

This may be a tough question to answer, some of you may be able to come up with something, others may not. All of you may have to think a bit…at least, I do.
I thought up this question because of all the Fringe and Dollhouse news this week. I’m looking forward to theme immensely, which [...]

This week’s edition of The Friday Question comes to you courtesy of my wife, who thought it up and deserves all the credit.

It should be fun and interesting to see what the answers are.

The question is:

The Friday question is going to take us way back when, to our youthful days when all we did was beg our parents to let us watch cartoons on Saturday mornings.
The Question: What was your favorite cartoon growing up as a kid?
I can remember quite a few cartoons that I liked, such as M.A.S.K. Smurfs, [...]

Today’s Friday question comes from the Ultimate Bad Ass competition we’ve started this week. In the coming weeks we’re going to get closer and closer to a final champion in the action hero genre.
But even though we will eventually get a winner, it may not be YOUR winner. Just as some of us are infatuated [...]

I almost went to bed without coming up with a Friday question and that would have been totally irresponsible on my part to deprive you of the reason your weekends get started off on the right foot.
For some reason, comic book questions, superheroes keep coming to mind, so I had to force myself to think [...]
