Of course you will take the money and continue doing the show, but which movie do you choose to let go of?

AMC, First and foremost, thank you for the videos you guys post on a regular basis. Truly appreciate the passion you all have when discussing films.

For years now, there have been on and off discussions about making a big-budget, CGI film for Sonic the Hedgehog. Eddie LeBron and his team released a fan film a few months ago and the feedback was generally positive.

When you look at the body of work that animation giants like Pixar or DreamWorks have, how would you guys feel if a Sonic the Hedgehog film was made by either one of those companies and would you be interested in seeing it?

Hello everyone love the show and the new studio! My questions are... Do you think Marvel is leading into an Avengers and Guardians team up or maybe just Gamora and or Adam Warlock helping the team to take down Thanos? After all we will see the Guardians dealing with him first. Also do you think Thanos will go for the Infinity Gauntlet that was seen in the first Thor movie inside Odin's vault like maybe Thanos goes to Asgard in a 3rd Thor movie leading into Avengers 3? Love to hear your thoughts thanks have a great day.

Hey, AMC Movie Talk crew, love the show. So you've found a genie in a bottle who will grant you one wish. However, that one wish is the power to green-light a sequel to any movie at all, so you don't have to concern yourself with the current age of returning cast members or making a profit. If I had that wish, I'd green-light Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League, the never produced sequel to The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. So what film do you love and feel deserves a sequel?

Hi AMC Movie Talkers, love the show and hope to see your guys great work carry on for many years to come. My question is hypothetical and is regarding a Game of thrones movie, do you think it is possible that they will make a spinoff movie, not in the current timeline but during Robert's rebellion? As a huge fan of the books I couldn't help but notice that most if not all scenes/flashbacks of the rebellion were cut out of the t.v series. The rebellion takes place some 14-15 years before the start of season 1 so it would be a prequel similar to how the hobbit was to LOtR, but if they make a movie on another story arc after ASOIAF is concluded I would still watch it. So do you think a Game of thrones movie is possible and if so do you think it will be a sequel or prequel?

I was wondering if you think over time Watchmen/Ang Lee's Hulk would be recognize as good/great films? Most complaints I heard about Watchmen that it didn't follow the source correctly,but if you watched the movie,he only changed a few minor things especially that stupid squid ending of the book.

Ang Lee's Hulk suffered for not having enough *smash!* *POW!*,but I like the didn't take on the usual summer popcorn flick.
