Let's Get the Discussion Started

A sincere welcome to Beyond the Big Screen. We are very excited to start this project and see just how far this community can grow. 


Our core message is that this blog/site is about sharing an appreciation of film with friends. Sure, we may disagree, trash a few films, or actors. Those things are part of the discussion. The true heart of this blog though is all about sharing your love of films with friends and strangers. We hope that by finding common likes and dislikes in movies a community of film fans will find each other here.


Be patient with us though. This is a site in flux. We hope to make things look more appealing of course, but the true reason you should want to visit this spot daily will be the content. 


Our plans for the content originate with you the user. In most cases, the latest post will be a discussion question. We'll present a topic, post our own opinions in the COMMENTS section, and then expect you to follow suit. Where the discussion goes from there is entirely up to you.


The discussion questions are not the only feature planned though. Jeremy and I do plan on doing some reviews every now and then. You can expect some current and new theatrical release reviews from Jeremy. I will focus more on DVD and older title reviews. To be honest with you, the reviews may not be a regular thing, but when we do get them up we hope you enjoy them.


As I said, this entire project is in flux. We'll push out some content, hope you'll respond, and take it from there. In the end, this space can only grow together or not at all.


Ok. No more blathering. Let's get the discussion started with our very first topic:


Who do you put in your Top 5 all-time actor/actress list?


Please site the name and your 3 favorite films of said actor/actress.






Enjoy and thanks again for stopping by. We hope you find this to be a fun and interactive beginning.
