Huh, been a while, hasn't it.
Heading into 2020, I feel like this project needs a couple of changes to keep it from dying entirely. The last few months, for work-related reasons, have been impossible. I'd like to keep this going (because I've paid for all these films, I should watch them, I mean really), but I gotta find a way to keep myself going here. So... two things I'm gonna do going forward.
First: Way back at the beginning here, the great Theo Panayides suggested going in random order rather than alphabetical. I shrugged that off at the time, preferring the orderliness that going in a distinct pre-determined order would bring... but now I'm starting to come around to his line of thinking, mainly because I've been stuck on the letter A for long enough that I'd like to see some other parts of The Big List come into play. I can admit when my ideas need work. I've got a couple more titles I would like to tackle in the hopper (get over here, All the President's Men), but after that it's up to chance. The first ten titles have already been chosen, even. Exciting!
Second, and here's the big one: While I still like the idea of having my own corner of the web for this, the plain truth is nobody clicks links or reads blogs anymore. That's just the Internet we have now, and my stubbornness alone won't change that. So I'm pulling down the curtain here and porting everything over to Letterboxd. (As for the pornographic films... well, I'm already using substitute films for the links I've been posting, so what's the difference in my opinion.) This will also give me an excuse if, say, I sit too long on a film to just dash off a paragraph or two, as I feel more able to do drive-bys in that venue.So look forward to more of that in the coming days - I've got a few films that I watched way back when to clear out.
See y'all around.
