Don’t mind the dust…

Hello readers, or errant passers-by,

It’s been a long time since I did any sort of blogging on the internet, and it’s not exactly a mystery why. I’ve come to despise the useless fiddle-faddle that clogs the arteries of the internet superhighway, and unless I had something of (self)-import to proclaim, I just wasn’t sure there was any point in using precious bits and bytes to let strangers and acquaintances know what I’d had for dinner… or what I’d wish to have for dinner. (*And when you reach the bottom of this page that is full of errant Twitter messages, I kindly ask you to forgive the hypocritical malfeasance.)

Having said that, (with apologies to Jerry Seinfeld), here is why I’m back: I realize that I really enjoy talking about movies. But more than that, I like really diving into them and ‘giving them the business.’ Probably a bit too much for IM conversations with people who are too polite to ask me to stop yammering, and a bit too verbose for Facebook status updates. In this forum, I can ‘yammer’ to my heart’s content, and give people the option of whether or not they’d like to read/participate/destroy.

So, please enjoy my first review below from a few months below. It was a movie that inspired me to write, though I had no clue that, months later, I’d want to keep doing this. If you have any suggestions or questions, let me know.

I also should mention/thank Sammy Wasson for a bit of inspiration here. I always enjoy discussing movies with him, and have really enjoyed his blog. If you want to read someone who actually knows what he’s talking about, click here: http://talkingpictures.tumblr.com/

Otherwise, I hereby declare this e-space a place to talk about movies.

Best,

-Daver
