Preamble

Cinema has occupied a disproportionate amount of my life, virtually since I was old enough to understand what was going on in movies. For most of my childhood I experienced movies strictly by catching them on TV or the occasional trip to the rental places. I grew up watching the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street ( Read more... )

So I submitted a short story I wrote recently to Coq and Bull, which is a site that accepts short fiction, and has a little contest every quarter, with the winners and a few other stories they deem worthy published in their online newsletter. I received an email thanking me for my submission and was told that I'd be informed if I was considered for ( Read more... )

So I’ve been reading back through my old LJ entries while I’m working the audit shift just for something to do, and it occurs to me that I haven’t written anything that *wasn’t* a movie review in quite a long while. So, behold, a general update on my life and my current perspective.

The Big Lebowski is awesome all around, O Brother Where Art Thou was hilarious, and The Ladykillers totally deserves to exist. However, the other things I've ( Read more... )

Keeping this train rolling, here. I'm all caught up after this, so in we go.

Funny Games: Amy recommended this to me after I saw The Strangers. I'd seen trailers for it previously that failed to impress me, but I was still kind of curious, and after she stood up for it I went ahead and rented it. Well, I'm still underwhelmed, but it wasn't as bad as ( Read more... )

I am such a slacker, it's unbelievable. I should be beaten savagely with a sack full of doorknobs. I expect you people to do a better job of keeping me in line, next time. In any case, a lot of catching up to do here (in fact, I'm pretty sure there's one movie I saw and then forgot about- if I ever remember what it was, it'll show up in a later ( Read more... )
