So we have some changes going on at the blog, and you'll be seeing a lot of new content every. single. day. (Except Sundays, because, you know... God. And homework.)
The types of things you can expect are:
Mondays: "Coming Attractions" - post will focus on a trailer and all of its merits/flaws, whether it succeeds in making you want to see the film, and some discussion about the film itself. Mainly upcoming films, but some recently released as well.
Tuesdays: "[Directed by...]" - featuring a director each week, with emphasis on those who have recent or upcoming projects. Can be at any level of the professional ladder, from amateur to auteur, indie to Academy.
Wednesdays: "Video of the [Wednes]Day" - featuring a video about anything film related that strikes my fancy and makes me want to talk about it.
Thursdays: "88 MPH" - We'll climb into our DeLorean and focus on films made/released before the year 2000. Yes, it's an arbitrary date. Deal with it.
Fridays: "Film Score Fridays" - I've always said that a mediocre movie can be saved for me by an excellent score (or soundtrack, and yes, there is a difference). We'll look at notable soundtracks and their creators from all eras.
Saturdays: "Babble On" - this will be a blog post about anything that's on my mind related to film that didn't fit into one of the above categories, and will probably be from a more personal angle. We'll see...
I'll take this opportunity to lay out a couple of ground rules for comments:
1. Keep it civil
2. Keep it relevant
3. No spam
4. We reserve the right to remove a comment or user who does not comply with these rules (although please don't make me have to do this, because I'd rather not remove any voices from the conversation)
Other than that, read away and comment as you please! This is the opportunity to create your own community about something we all love and have in common. So whether you're a recreational filmgoer or professional filmmaker, feel free to share what's on your heart and mind; we all have valuable things to say. Thanks for participating in this little experiment of ours!
