Day One

I have long considered hosting a "blog," and today is the day that it begins. The content of my blog: Amateur movie reviews.

Why? Because I love film... and I hate it. Though I love a good read, and visit art museums with my wife, celluloid is the medium that seems to bring forth the hottest hatred and happiest thoughtful smiles from me.

You will soon enjoy (?) my ranting on the myriad of reasons that certain movies leave me feeling let down (or downright angry) and doubtless think, "What is this guy's problem? He needs to find a new hobby." Well... maybe you're right. Go take your right-ness to some other blog, then! Ha!

You might also find yourself asking, "Why does this guy draw such transcendent delectation from low-budget spaghetti westerns?" I'll try to explain.

Maybe you will at least appreciate the fact that I'm joining you in evaluating and reflecting on an art form, instead of subjecting you to droning documentation of my daily life. Still, I reserve the right to wander off track and post on other topics as well. Farewell for now!

  1. Just wait ... soon you'll sink to the level of the rest of us, and begin a droning documentation of your life. You also won't be able to resist for long the urge to post a photo of your baby. That's the real purpose of the Internet you know - so the breeders like you can subject the rest of us to their chidren in digital form.

    Go make yourself useful - install a sunshade or something.

  2. You'll also want a woman or interior designer to stop by your blog and dress it up. A plain title just sitting above a Matrix-like cascade of paragraphs ain't gonna cut it. You could follow Kristin's lead and violate copyright laws by posting screen shots of movies you do like!

  3. I am writing from Prague. There are no copyright laws here, so I will post as many so-called "illegal" screen shots as I want.
