Movie Superfan: Having Fun During COVID-19

Movie Superfan: Having Fun During COVID-19

1 EXT. PLANET EARTH - DAY

(deep male voice boom)

In a world with COVID-19 (Coronavirus), only one actor can save the planet by keeping it entertained.  Who will you choose?

End of Act One    

1) Who Is Your Favorite Actor? - Who is someone you'll watch in any movie; good or bad?  Maybe there's an actor that you want to see more of their work.  Every member of the household could have a selection too.  Don't have anyone in mind?  Here's a few suggestions: Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Katherine Hepburn, Denzel Washington, Bette Davis, Marlon Brando, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert De Niro, and so many more at: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls053085147/

2) That's More Than I Expected? - Copy and or print a list of all their films for tracking.  

3) The Alpha and Omega of ____'s Career - Start watching!  You can begin in chronological order.  Or you could try alphabetical order.  If the actor has lots of old, obscure, or difficult to find movies it could be in order of acquisition.

4) When To Watch? - You could binge all their work.  Or, pick a night of a week to watch.  My wife and I like listening to podcasts and other research on Wednesdays and then watch the film on Saturday.  It makes even bad movies fun because we know some backstories, details to look for, and plot holes that don't make sense.

5) Getting Together - Make some snacks and beverages and gather your household family/roommates.  Maybe some movie inspired drinks: https://tastessence.com/amazing-cocktails-inspired-by-movies 

AND DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN! And, please feel free to contact if you have any questions or suggestions!

Mike Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold hundreds of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.
