The Blog...2009

A big thanks to those of you reading and posting here on the blog during its first year. Let me tell you, there's an odd sensation you get as a "blogger" when you see that someone's commented on something you've written. It's a sense of validation (even if it's a disagreement). Sure, it's entirely self-aggrandizing and egotistical, but it is what it is.

I've thoroughly enjoyed blogging in '09 and will continue to do so into the new decade. I'm debating on what to focus on in the new year and I've narrowed it down to either delving into a particular director's repertoire each month or doing a retrospective of Best Picture Oscar winners (focusing on a particular year every two weeks or so, watching all five Best Picture nominees, and then determining which one I would choose as the winner). I'm probably leaning towards the latter at the moment (although I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to complete the task in one year).

That being said, I've got a few things planned for 2010-- a Hitchcock-fest next October, the Christmas-Movie-a-Day bit in December, a look-back at every Disney full-length animated movie throughout the year.

So, once again, thanks for reading my inane ramblings.
