To all my readers,
I have a few updates about my life that I would like to share with you, as long with the future of confessionsofasavagemind.com
First off, I want to apologize for the large spaces between
articles. There are currently no new movies to review, so I can’t really
write about them. I do not yet feel there is a movie worth risking my health and well-being to see. Tenet was the only release the was semi-interesting to me, but due to my love-hate relationship with Christopher Nolan, I decided to stay at home. I could always be writing lists of films for you all to watch, but I also have a problem with it. List writing is not something I love, and it’s
incredibly time consuming, but I try and do it to increase film literacy among my readers. In short, I have been slightly stumped as to what to write about. I have a couple ideas that will be presented below.
Last night, I finished every Oscar
Winner for Best Picture. Maybe I’ll rank them all at some point, which would be quite the undertaking. This is
a huge achievement, as many of these movies suck, and I had saved all
the worst ones for last. Watching them all
back to back has been painful, but I’m almost there. Unless you hate
yourself, I don’t recommend watching Cavalcade, Cimarron, and The
Broadway Melody of 1929 in a row.
I have also seen 2,000 movies in my lifetime as of this week. Before you ask, yes I have kept track. I might be trying to list my favorite movies of all time, which is like picking which fingers I appreciate the most for me. Seeing as I watching roughly 200-250 movies a year, picking even my top 100 would be incredibly difficult. People often ask me if a movie is in my top 100, to which I often reply, "No." to reach my Top 100 is an ultimate pinnacle of amazing film-making that few films can even aspire to be in such a pantheon.
Finally, I was thinking of writing an article about America expressed through film in its history. I have a rough outline for this idea, but as I stated earlier, I hate making lists. We will see if I get to this.
When I started Confessionsofasavagemind, it was just a temporary idea on a Blogspot domain. Now, 4.5 years later, it has over 100 articles, and has been viewing over 18,000 times by readers in 5 different continents. I am so grateful for all the readers, and hope to ramp up production sometime soon! Thanks once again, and see you at the movies!
