Going to make a comeback soon I think.
Mainly because I'm becoming too easily drawn into opinion based scuffles on Facebook and those skirmishes always seem to leave me in a state of "and another thing!!" at 2AM...
Need a venue where my thoughts have time to breathe/fester and then re-emerge without a need for constant re-edits and adjustments in fleeting and bait-laden comment threads.
This way, I can keep track of my thoughts and amend and review in a place that is less prone to sudden out-lashings... maybe.
Does depend who takes the time to read and post anything longer than 200 words in response, which at least requires some effort and desire which I find more worthy of a reply and discussion.
What kicked this off you ask? Watching my Quickflix queue tick over without 'real' concrete recollection for one. Every movie I watch gives me some thought or moment of inspiration and often when the return strip is peeled and the lid shuts, so do my ideas go into the mail box.
Some have stuck hard like Once Upon a Time in Anatolia. But others I find myself grasping at knowing there was something in the moment worth jotting down.
First category then is Quickflix. Starting with Side Effects and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and maybe a backtrack to Safe Haven and Jonah Hex.
It's funny that it's these two. The first was one of the movies that I knew if I didn't write about it in the moment that sensation of feeling the empathy shift and the point that Filmspotting's Adam could only most certainly have been talking about would whistle away once a new pair came in the mail "Ooo Only God Forgives!" swoooooosh.
More soon.
