So where was I? Back before predicting Oscar categories (where I went seven of eight in the majors). Back before podcast with Swedish guests (which is proving to be one of the most popular episodes). Back before short film festivals…

From my end of things, I actually find myself wearing a bit of a smirk at the moment. You see for more than a month now, this site has been an almost constant machine of material. Between catching up on Oscar nominees, tackling tasks for the anime project and the blind spot project, and the litany of podcasts I’m cranking out these days, I’ve never been short on material. But soon that will all slow down…and I’ll be forced to get creative again. I’ll actually have to come up with ideas. No promises on how well all of that goes, you may find me to be a very rusty Hatter when it comes to expressing actual thought that doesn’t pertain to one particular film, or discussing how today I feel “like this”. Wish me luck won’t you?

Today though, I smile in the knowledge that some R&R is on-tap after two busy weeks. So much so that I don’t even know if I’ll go to the cinema this weekend!

I wonder if they’re missing me yet.

For your listening and reading fulfillment, I give you…

Andrew Robinson has saved my bacon a lot in the last few weeks, and then he goes and podcasts about one of my favorite films of the year, THE INTERRUPTERS. The guy is like my own personal bit of Caribbean awesome.

My dear friend Susie Q has become the secret weapon of my friend Tim’s podcast The Mind Reels. Last weekend, I got quite a smile as she expressed her dream assignments.

Speaking of podcasting, a podcaster with a large measure of influence on what has become of The Matineecast put together a rather heartfelt moment of podcasting self-realization this week…one that might beg a follow-up of my own next week.

The Cinematic Corner has put together a fantastic list of 100 things the movies have taught her.

Fogs believes that everyone needs to see NETWORK in their lifetime. I concur.

Courtney has crafted a great piece about a version of Eddie Murphy that some people are too young to remember. Like him, I hope that gets remedied someday.

As for the tweet of the week, there are sometimes advantages to being “The Girl with The Red Coat”

  2. Ryan, I’m with you on all of a sudden being shorter on material. I pretty much had my whole month planned out in February, and now I’m back to square one. Thankfully, there’s so much out there to see that setting it up will take little time at all. I’m looking forward to reading your new ideas, which I’m sure will be flying in soon.

    1. Am I the only one who’s low on things to see? (Which is a big reason why I’m low on ideas).

      Then again, I shouldn’t complain – during one week later in the month, I’ll be at The Lightbox four days out of seven.

  3. Shortage of material is definitely a problem for me right now. Havne’t gone to the cinema in two weeks, but fortunately next weeks looks much brighter (John Carter from Mars, Friends with Kids).

  4. Thanks for the linkage, Ryan! I will have to get Jenny (who wrote the piece) out to a blogger pub night at some point this year.

    I find that I am in the opposite situation. I have a fair bit I want to write about but no time to do it. Family responsibilities and increasing responsibilities at work (one of which includes creating an internal corporate blog of all things) are just leaving me wiped at the end of the day.

    1. p.s. I noticed your site occasionally sends me to some random entertainment site. Not sure if this is just a glitch with Google search or the browser I am using.

    2. I think I’ve figured out what’s going on. What’s been most frustrating is that it’s an inconsistent glitch, so nailing down the problem has been a bit tricky.

      Thanks for the reminder.
