Alright. This is brand new for me. Being a pretty private person, I guess starting a blog warrants a bit of an explanation.
I love film. I love comics. I am a nerd. This is not something I hide. On the contrary, its something that I am proud of. I have met others like me that I have got along with. I have met others like me that I have not got along with. But more importantly, I like to discuss art after it has been experienced with anyone that is willing to talk about it. It is this discussion that is the reason for the creation of this blog.
Often I find myself in discussions with people that are incredibly opinionated, sometimes forcefully so. I feel that these opinions can sometimes be built on nothing but pre-conceptions and judgments based on anything BUT the material that is being discussed. None are more guilty of this than the hard-core nerd fan-boy. That is exact opposite of what I want to do here. My personal approach to experience art is to do my best to keep an open mind. Even with what would be widely considered a "bad" film, I tend to find, and focus, on what I liked about the film. That is not to say I lose perspective of what I feel the film did to earn its place at the bottom of everyone's shit-list, but I try to extract what I liked about the film and put the emphasis on that. As for the films faults, I try to be as constructive as possible.
Having said that, I am a fan-boy myself, so I would imagine that we will be seeing some childish outbursts of my own from time to time. I am sure I will go off my rocker now and again... Such is the curse of being a nerd.
The contents of the blog are going to very from films that I have seen, comics or books that I have read, film news, trailers, posters etc.
For films specifically, you will see all kinds - foreign, independent, big Hollywood productions and the rest.
I try to diversify genres, but having nerd-blood running in my veins, I do have genres that I cannot help but gravitate towards... none more dominant than the Horror Film. I will get into that more later, but I have a special strange affinity for watching crap-tastic, schlocky horror films. Hopefully, as this blog gets going, I can being to think about WHY I have this ridiculous addiction. I also like good movies. Honest!
Bottom line: This is a place for me to dump my opinions on various forms of art for the world to see. I try to keep an open mind and hopefully someone out there will find the opinions interesting enough to read, and maybe respond to.
Alright. Let's get this shit started...

Fan-boy, you are a decent writer. I only wish you would use more profanity.
