hello amc and thank you for taking my question. Having recently watched drive i could not but help think this is a special movie. It makes me wonder how on earth the oscars could not nominate it for best picture. When you look at 2011 it is not the best of years for film and when you look at the list for best pic nominations again not the best. Its surprising to me that it was overlooked especially since they nominated extremely loud and incredibly close. which is a movie that only has a 46% rating on rotten tomatoes and did not deserve the best pic nomination it got. What are your guys opinion on drive and do you think it should of been nominated that year?

Hey AMC love the show and watch it daily. Whenever I go to talk to my friends about movies such as Birdman or Selma it seems nobody knows what movies I'm talking about. Is this due to poor marketing? Why does it seem the best movies are the one no one knows about? Thanks and great job with the show!

Hi, I love your show. Lately, I've been thinking of the possibility of a remake of the original Jaws. At first, I thought that it would be a bad idea but I thought of a possible better idea. What if they told the story through the point of view of Quint. They could tell his story on the Indianapolis during the first act and then have the second and third acts being the original story of Jaws. I think this could be a fresh idea for a new Jaws.

If JJ Abrams invited you over to watch a rough cut of episode 7, would you go or wait another ten months to see the finished film?
