It’s my blog, because I felt that I needed one of my own, despite the fact that I already write for a particularly wonderful blog by the name of HodgeBlodge (my friends and I are not big fans of putting spaces between words, as is evidenced by our podcast, “ShowShow“). That and I’m working towards creating a home for the interviews and reviews that seem to have piled up lately. You see, I’ve been in contact with a bunch of PR people during the last month or so, gathering DVD screeners and interviews in the hopes that one day the podcast could transmogrify itself into something legitimate–a money maker, even–because I, like everyone, enjoy moneys.
So here I am, on the internet, adding unecesssary esses (i.e. “s”ez) to words and blogging about something for which there is no shortage of opinionated discussion. I, however, live in Southern California and have contacts with studios, so hopefully I can offer up a bit more than the average cinephile on his coffee break at work.
What might I add, you might ask (and thanks for doing so)?
Well first up we have a semi-exclusive interview with Charlie Kaufman and Catherine Keener from the Synecdoche, New York press junket. The audio is of dubious quality at best and I think it’s perhaps better suited for the printish format. We’ll also have reviews of the independent, animated horror anthology filmstravaganza Fear(s) of the Dark, the dark comedy Special, the self-released festival favorite Ballast and a number of direct-to-video horror films that are on their way to a local Blockbuster near you.
Plus, more interviews.
And stuff.
This is also going to be another outlet for the abominable ShowShow, which already has a review of Let The Right One In, complete with an interview with the film’s director. You can find that particular show HERE.
So there. I wrote another intro to another blog that will surely fall apart in the near future.
Cheers,
Miles
