Coming Back Into the Fold
It’s been over a month since my last post. It’s high time I returned to this experiment–this blog–to see where it can take me. I haven’t been doing a lot of posting over at 2HB (it seems to be more of a one-headed blog at the moment). I’m not sure if I’m tired of the whole blogging thing, temporarily uninspired, or what. But, I did want to compel myself to come back to Filmcake, not so much for the sake of the blog but as a conduit for growing as a student of film. I’m thinking about movies all of the time. But perhaps blogging about movies will get me thinking about movies in different ways. I don’t know. Like I said, this is an experiment.
Moving forward, I’m going to try a couple of new things. First, I’m just going to try (force myself) to blog more regularly. A few times a week. Or daily, even. Second, I’m going to try and do a weekly recap of the movies I saw that previous week (Week in Review). So basically just a list of those movies with maybe a short 1 or 2 sentence thought about it. If that leads to some longer review or discussion, then all the better.
That being said, Sarah and I finally made it to Warren Theater. The weekend before last we went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was nice. The decor certainly let you know that it wasn’t your average multiplex. The tackiness worked. But, then I don’t go to a multiplex for the ambience, I go for the movie. Still, we need to see a movie from a balcony seat in one of their Grand Auditorium theaters to get the full experience.
Also, I purchased our tickets for deadCENTER yesteday. This year they’re offering discounts for students and for those who order early. So, we actually saved $35. I’m really excited. I’m sure when it rolls around I’ll be doing some cross-posting here and at 2HB.
