I write this sitting before an absolutely monstrous iMac. Seriously…why do I need a TV when I have this thing? The arrival of this beast is exciting for many reasons, not the least of which is that it affords me the ability to begin podcasting in the near future.
PS – As I prepare material for my first podcast, I’d like to b able to include fielding a question or two from my dozen readers. Please email any movie-related questions to madhatter.21@hotmail.com
As I write, I’m sure my yankee friends are content in a melatonin riddled state of post-pumpkin-pie bliss. Hope y’all are enjoying yourselves, and are spending your long weekend resting up and doing something you enjoy. I’ll get mine in a month when I get four days off for Christmas.
I might need it by then, because next week is shaping up to be a busy one for me. This space will be a-hoppin’ with entries and promotion for both the 1001 Series, and the Stephen Soderberh Blog-a-Thon. Click early, click often ‘cuz the material will be getting posted fast and furious.
So while I mentally prep for all those fun and games, come with me and take a look at what my ever-growing list of fellow bloggers are up to.
For your reading fulfillment I give you…
Danny King, a blog I just started following this week, sizes up the Oscar odds to date.
Reel Fanatic has been counting off the best of the century so far (much as I have been doing with my Decade series). Here’s his choices for 2000, 2001, and 2002.
Tom at plus Trailers, who went and saw 2012 so that we don’t have to.
Go, See, Talk has manned up and admitted to five movies everyone else seems to love except them.
Joel and his mysterious ticket stub have gone back and reviewed one of my very favorite movies of the last decade.
M. Carter, who is slowly becoming one of my favorite blogs to follow, has taken a moment to rattle off her Top Ten Disney Villains.
Finally, a weird twist. For the second week in a row I found my blog getting way more traffic than usual. And for the second week in a row, it was for the same reason. A fellow blogger got selected into IMDb’s daily hitlist…and the article just happened to include a link to my work. This time around it was Univarn, and the whole phenomenon left him rather giddy.
Enjoy!
pumpkin-pie, man I never even made it that far before my stomach was taping out. Can't wait for the Blog-a-Thon, will give me something to fill up my site with while I work on school work these next few weeks. Though of course it seems only far to me that you get some traffic as well, seeing as your post was the inspiration for mine 🙂
I've already got two Soderbergh reviews waiting to go and I'm all set to revisit Traffic, Out of Sight and sex, lies & videotape as well as watch The Limey and Bubble for the first time. Gonna be a busy couple of days.
It’s really bizarre when you’re on the hit list; one of my early blogs was on there. At a time when I was getting less than 100 hits a day the one article had 8,000 in a day.
@ Univarn… Sure, rub it in. Know what I had for dinner on Thursday? Leftover pizza.
Glad I could inspire a post that led to such a wicked hit count.
@ Jake… I hear ya! I'm gonna re-post some older stuff, and re-watch some in the hopes to write something new. Can't wait.
@ Fandango… No doubt! My meagre site averages around sixty hits a day. Ross and Univarn's linkage quadrupled that, hence how I knew something was up.
Someday that'll be me 🙂
Sixty a day, I think you are been a bit modest there!
@ fandango… No sir. I use blog patrol, and that's about average for me believe it or not.
Thanks for the link! Glad we starting following each other. I look forward to reading your work.
@ Danny… Anytime man, keep the good work comin'!
After the IMDB hit list comments my Movie Quotes That Define Their Generation blog was on there yesterday. My hits went through the roof. It was my busiest day ever even surpassing the other time is was on the list.
@ Fandango… Congrats man! That's awesome exposure!!
