Kinda funny – last week I gave my E-T feature a week off, primarily so I could let my run of Oscar posts play out in sequence (I went 4-for-8 in the top categories btw…damned screenwriters!).
Well in a way it’s sort of a good thing that I gave the feature a rest, primarily because most of my fellow bloggers were writing about wall-to-wall Oscar. Would have made it pretty darned difficult to come up with some varied topics to post here!
But as awards season ends, we begin 2010 in earnest, and I’m pretty excited for that! There’s a lot of swell smaller films coming over the next few weeks, a film festival or two to take part in, and a lot of great podcasting ideas kicking around in my hatted brain! But as we all know, Fridays aren’t about me, they’re about you.
For your reading fulfillment, I give you…
Remember Shane, my podcasting guest in the Oscar episode? He’s written a great piece about some of Oscar’s most interesting races.Should help soothe any Oscar withdrawal you migfht be feeling.
Got to spend some quality time with a fellow Toronto movie blogger this week – James McNally from Toronto Screen Shots. The guy is a really good influence on me and my blogging habits, and he has me excited to see THE RUNAWAYS thanks to his review.
At the same little get-together was Bob from Eternal Sunshine – I dare you to find a nicer guy. Bob has a pretty good post on his site about a somewhat minor movie detail that I appreciate – some truly eye-catching title sequences.
Number Six has seen a film I’m very much looking forward to. Take a look at his thoughts on Atom Egoyan’s CHLOE.
Though she has scandalously omitted the greatest one of all if you ask me, Heather at Movie Mobsters has put together a list of the best TV-to-Film adaptations.
Finally, something I’d call a preview of coming attractions – Simon and Jo; two UK bloggers/podcasters who were nice enough to give a my humble ramblings a plug recently, have started doing their schtick in front of a camera. Look, listen, and read!
Enjoy!
woohoo, not only sharing the love on some great articles there but people talking about you! Gonna have to check out the Simon & Jo show – always up for checking out more film podcasts 🙂
Thanks for the shout out Hatter!
Another interesting compilation of posts to investigate as well!
Out of curiosity, what do you think was left out of the tv-to-movie list?
Also I just listened to your Shutter Island podcast- good stuff! It was nice to hear such in-depth discussion of Scorsese from big fans. Plus now I have a good idea of where to start with seeing more of his films.
@ Shannon… They're great guys with an amazing bit of mic presence. I sorta feel like they put me to shame!
@ Heather… Anytime. Keep the good work coming!
@ Alex… She missed THE FUGITIVE. And thanks for listening to my podcast! Any interest in Episode 8 where I talk about ALICE??
