In July of 2009, I started one of my favorite weekly blogging features. See as awesome as I think it is that you’ve clicked on to my lowly patch of cyberspace…I’d be remiss if I didn’t direct people’s attention to other equally wonderful patches of cyberspace.

Thus, every Friday, I turn the mic over to various people I read and listen to online. They are the writers and podcasters that enlighten, amuse, and sometimes infuriate me – but above all else they inspire.

I have a few mental guidelines that I adhere to when I compile the weekly “Everybody’s Talkin” (E-T) list:

  • I like to pull posts from the last seven days, re-enforcing the weekly timing of the post
  • I almost never feature the same blogger two weeks in a row
  • I try to vary up the content of the posts, and prefer not to post more than one review.
  • With my newfound love for podcasting, I’ve been trying to push my twenty eight listeners towards other bits of audio awesomeness.

The one other constant to the weekly feature is the photo that accompanies each post. You see, once upon a time, I wanted to be a pro photographer. And while the money might never have materialized, my passion for seeing the world through my camera lens never went away. Thus with one exception, the photographs that accompany every E-T post are my own work.

Now that I’ve explained all of that…

Remember that game show Univarn started a few weeks back…the one where I staged that amazing last-minute comeback? Well episode two has arrived pitting Heather the Movie Mobster against recent Matineecast guest GMan.

During the last pub night, conversation worked its way toward the films of Michael Mann and how bad MIAMI VICE may or may not be (for what it’s worth – I dig it). Looks like it’s not just me that digs it, since Wonders in The dark has created a post in Vice’s defence.

The Kid in The Front Row just took in the double-feature of my dreams.

The Reel Fanatic takes an interesting look at 3-D’s trend of diminishing returns.

The m0vie Blog has come up with an interesting theory surrounding the loveable star of the Toy Story series.

Enjoy!
