Can you believe it has been almost a year since the reboot of #MTOS happened? See for yourself at
http://blog.filmfile.co.uk/2018/06/20/mtos-reboots-remakes/ for the post that started it all off. Since that first week, with the questions going out on 24th June, a wide variety of topics have followed, such as Time Travel, Marvel films, Spielberg, Eastern Horror, Christmas, ZZA, and Sandler. Whilst a lot has been covered so far, there are still a plethora of topics waiting to be tapped for these 90 minute chats we have each and every Sunday.
Seeing how the group grew over the year has been something I am so pleased (and proud) about. Old faces from the early days of #MTOS, accidentally stumbling on the hashtag being used again, with a “Woah! When did #MTOS come back?” message, new people who have found the welcoming “nobody is wrong in their opinion” manner of the discussions a great way to find out about films they may not have been aware of. The whole feel is one great happy family of film fans.
On a personal level, it gave me some purpose to my FilmFile page and feed – something I let many things get in the way of keeping fresh and up to date. Whilst I still don’t review as much as a I used to (and I still have hundreds of old reviews to edit and upload at some point), my site hasn’t had this many updates in a while! The twitter feed only had a small number of followers this time last year (about 30), and whilst some may sneer that the around 300 I have now isn’t huge by any means, I don’t care because none are spambots, and all are people I enjoy conversing with (even if we don’t always see eye to eye). This is why I don’t set objectives to “get 1000 followers by next month” – I don’t get paid for this, so why should the number of followers matter to me? This is a passion project, and I do it because I love talking about films.

So, join me this coming Sunday 23rd June, light a candle on a cake, and celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the rebooted #MTOS as we discuss Sequels (and prequels).
Special mention and thanks to #MTOS founders @raghavmodi & @askimrach for introducing the concept to the world all those years ago.
Q1: Sequels or prequels – which do you prefer and why? #MTOS
Q2: Hollywood has run out of ideas – a comment found frequently as the number of sequels each year grows. But are sequels necessarily a lack of ideas? #MTOS
Q3: Okay, an easy one, and one which I anticipate some familiar answers in – what are your favourite sequels of all time? #MTOS
Q4: If we accept that sequels and prequels are a staple part of the industry, would you prefer a franchise approach, growing the world setting (eg: Marvel) or direct sequel sticking with key characters (eg: Fast & Furious)? #MTOS
Q5: Some sequels and prequels come around for film series that ended years and even decades ago, and are used as a ‘soft-reboot’ of the brand. Are there any examples of this kind of film that has surpassed the original? #MTOS
Q6: Following on from Q5, some even ignore other sequels, and forge their own path (Halloween for example). Would you prefer a soft-reboot sequel to keep all established canon, or just take the original as the only valid reference point?
Q7: It is argued that you should never expect a sequel to improve on the original, but should judge it on its own merits, however many of them demand knowledge of the first film to fully appreciate. Are there any sequels that didn’t require knowledge of the first film? #MTOS
Q8: Any guilty pleasures amongst the sequels out there? Has there been a sequel that was lambasted by the majority, but which you would admit to being a fan of, or even champion the cause of? #MTOS
Q9: What factors should be considered before a sequel or prequel is attempted? #MTOS
Q10: Of course, we can’t end without the obligatory question of what old film or franchise would you argue is ripe for a sequel or a prequel to soft-reboot it for a new audience right now? Why is now the right time? #MTOS
