Just when I think I’ve got it all under control, I had to go and anger the gods of podcasting.
Things are about to take a turn for the nutty as I try to get ten days worth of posts written in six days. ‘Course that also might have been a gift from the gods after boasting about a Cal Ripken-like streak on the Row Three Cinecast yesterday. The Lesson? Bragging gets me nowhere.
It’s all good though. This time next week, I’ll be Chi-town bound for some baseball, some time with friends, a bit of ROBOCOP, and perhaps even some shopping.
Hopefully I hold out until then!
For your listening and reading fulfillment, I give you…
I usually don’t link to sites two weeks in a row, but Corey has rejoined the ranks of the podcasters. Take a listen to his first episode where he discusses THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.
Not to be outdone, Sebastian Gutierrez has rebuilt and rebranded his site. Take a look at the all new Black Hole.
Having watched Spidey already, this is something of an “off-weekend” for me at the multiplex. Hopefully, I can use the extra frame to catch up with YOUR SISTER’S SISTER. Over at Cinema Romantico, Nick has posted a pretty good review of it. Speaking of Nick, if all goes to plan I should be raising a glass with him by this time next week.
On the heels of SEEKING A FRIEND, Kristin wondered what a movie-watcher would do with a mere three weeks to watch before the world ended.
Over at Big Thoughts, Jenny reflects on a year in blogging.
Speaking of reflection, G-Man writes a rather introspective piece about how critical thinking can ruin the fun of watching movies (a feeling I’ve felt more than once)
An essential that I keep meaning to catch up with is CHUNKING EXPRESS. Adina just added it to her series of movie influences.
Meanwhile Fogs sparked a truly epic discussion when he asked his readers what franchises they would reboot/remake.
What would you say is worse? Watching a sex scene in a film with your parents, or with your children? Jessica offers her answer.
And for the Tweet of The Week, sometimes it’s best to keep it simple:
Enjoy!

Wow, you’re so ambitious, writing posts for the days when you’re gone. I’ll soon take of for holidays and I’ll definitely let my blog go quiet for a while. But you’ve got your “write every day” standard to live up to. A noble cause!
Thank you for the link love also. I feel honored to be noticed among all those worthy bloggers. Cheers!

“Ambitious” is one word for it…

What do I win? Do I get money? Please….
Thanks for the link man. What’s the deal with writing so much? Going on holiday? Good travels man.

Yeah, I’m headed out of town and while I want to keep the content flowing while I’m gone, I also don’t want to be hovering over my MacBook Pro every night while I’m away.
Thus, I write ahead of time…

Perhaps one day I too can have conversations take off…

Linkage! Thanks, man! Looking forward to next weekend. Should be fun. AND you timed it to miss out on the heatwave here. Well played.

I might have missed your heatwave, but I suffered through a doozy up here. Long story short, I didn’t miss squat! My hope at this point is that my Cubs game on Saturday doesn’t get rained out.
Hope for clear skies for me, would ya?

Thanks again for the linkage, Ryan
writing 10 days worth of posts to 6 days? That’s crazyyy. I can’t even manage to write more than 3 posts a week. Anyways, same thing here, Chungking Express is a movie I want to see for a long time. Hope all is well!

Crazy is my middle name. Some day something will come along that will put an end to my watching/writing craziness – but not yet.
Gonna bump CHUNKING up my to-see list. Thanks for reminding me.

“So many films, so little time” is the story of my life.

I should get a tattoo of that on my arm…

That’s a great idea. I would definitely consider doing that too
