Anticipation

Ok, I give in. After ten months or so it's become evident that I not ever going to make my self-imposed update-every-Sunday deadline. I could claim that research takes more time now that I've hit a period in film history when there's more to research, but that's my stone to bear and I don't care for excuses. If you notice, I've already updated the "About Film of the Year" page to read "updated weekly." The idea is to take advantage of my weekday grind to write, write, write and stop pretending that I'm going to let blogging ever take precedence over weekend-ish activities over the weekend. Maybe I should give up the idea of a deadline, but the most common comment I receive (just got another e-mail yesterday) is "post more often" so I'm hoping that this adjustment will allow that to happen and keep my nose to the blogstone. Meanwhile, don't forget that the 1927 Blog-a-Thon is imminent and Goatdog would love your participation, Brian's Virgin Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors Blog-a-Thon is only a couple of days away upon us and chock-full of great writing, Andy is teasing us with a new blog, Adam's Friday Screen Test's are as fun to read as ever, and The Evening Class remains an eloquent read even as Michael adjusts to the role of superhero/reporter for SF360.

Why just the other sday i was thinking it's easy to say postr more often, but now that you're in the hey-day of film production, it wouldn't be fair for us if you didn't see at least 2 or 3 films from the year you're reviewing. So I say DON'T compromise, but you can alway give us teasers: tell us that though you enjoyed Duck Soup you won't be commenting on the Marx brothers, or drop us some links, ask some questions. You've done all those things before, and they're well received.

Thanks very much for the support and the suggestions, Squish. I'll keep them all in mind. Off-topic: I think your unusual double review approach for Brian's blog-a-thon is creative.

Hey Thom,

I think that you will enjoy your blog the most if you write your posts at your own schedule. If we had our way, you would write every day, but the archives are there for a reason, right? :)

P.S. Thank you for your comments on Wikipedia. I can tell that you carefully review historical content, and it is a really unique aspect of your blog. You are right on about Wiki, it is a good place to begin.

How very nice of you, thanks!I just hope it didn't come on too strong in the hate. I actually enjoyed watching it.

J. - That's really good advice and I'm going to take you up on it. Thank you for the compliments too.
