It was one year ago today that I launched this crazy blog. Since then I have made 126 posts. 44 of these have been lists of the last ten movies I saw. (This statistic – watching 440 movies in 365 days – is less insane than it might first appear; I have also taught between four and seven film classes a week for virtually every week of the past year – so that’s four to seven movies I saw weekly without even really trying.) The remaining 82 posts have been “red meat posts” (filmmaker and author interviews, film reviews, blu-ray and dvd reviews, historical/national cinema primers, etc).
I’d like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to all of my interview subjects – Jesse Wheeler, Mia Park, Seth McClellan, Susan Doll, Melika Bass, Pierre Kattar and Sara Vaux (whose interview is forthcoming) – as well as everyone who has read and contributed comments to this blog. You have made this place what it is. I have a had a lot of fun doing this even though I have occasionally driven my long-suffering wife crazy. (But better that I’m home next to her blogging than out drinking, gambling and carousing . . . right, babe?) I hope to keep this going for as long as I possibly can.

Congratulations! I can’t believe it has been one year already! And yes, sometimes I have felt neglected and that your blog became wife numero uno some nights, but I knew that it was always for the greater good. Here’s to year two!

Its a very enjoyable blog. You can constantly remind someone that movies aren’t just movies. Great film/poster to reference your blog’s anniversary.

Thanks, Omar. I really appreciate the feedback. I’ve got a lot of fun things coming up – including an interview with author Sara Vaux (whose book on Clint Eastwood is being published in September), national cinema primers on Italy and Japan, an essay comparing the use of framing devices in Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari . . . and more. Stay tuned!
