All right guys, how do we want to do this?  Do we want to just pick a book and start reading and send each other messages, do we want to pick a certain day to jump online and everyone starts talking about a certain section, do we want to do a sort of chat messenger thing like a skype group chat?  Anyone got any suggestions?  Because I am 110% down for this but I’ve never done it before and I have no idea where to start.

Thank you so much for the tip!

Dakota: 

A. First film I saw them in: War of the WorldsB. Favorite performance: The RunawaysC. Favorite film they appear in: The RunawaysD. Last film I watched them in: The Motel Life E. If I were forced to pick a weaker performance: War of the WorldsF. Underappreciated performance: The RunawaysG. Film you haven’t seen with them that you’d most like to: Night MovesH. Least favorite film they appeared in: War of the Worlds 

i think i may pass on Evans, actually, bc here's the deal: I was never, ever a fan. he has made a lot of films that are a) not to my interest b) things he's self-admittedly called crap. In fact even the Dakota stuff above -- I haven't seen much, because again, there weren't many films there to my interest but she's been turning that around lately.

With Cevans (and even with Dakota early on) i took it out on them -- that they were in crap things so I just -- didn't like them. Which I tend to do quite a lot with actors/actresses as (with a few exceptions), I approach things a little differently than most, perhaps. The  way i tend to love celebrities is through their talent/their performances and not a full combination of on-screen + off-screen personas. Like I said, there are definitely quite a few exceptions in which I follow people through their off-screen interviews and narrative but mostly if I like an actor it's because I have a deep appreciation for their range. Soooo if i'm not drawn to them in those aspects/if they're making films that are outside my general interests, I tend to dismiss them.
