Major Announcements!
A few announcements:
First, the blog has a new design, as I'm sure you noticed. The site has been opening up to a larger audience, and I just wanted it to look a little classier. What do you think? I'll be updating all the tags, categories, etc, in the coming weeks. Comments were disabled for a while yesterday, but they're back up. It is slightly more complicated than before to post, but you'll figure it out. And as always, keep 'em coming!
Second, got a very cool shoutout from a writer I really admire, Ken Levine. He used to write for MASH and Cheers, and has an excellent comedy/writing tips site. Thanks a lot, Ken, and even though he's been linked to the right for a while now, just a reminder to check him out!
And third, just as this site once cost me a job, it has now gotten me a job. The circle is complete, Simba! I was contacted last week by one of my favorite websites, and probably the finest movie blog on the net: Cinematical. I begin writing for them next week. (I learned just how dangerous it can be posting your every thought on the net, when, in my interview, I was told I wouldn't be able to write about Cum In My Eye 9, as the site is owned by AOL).
What does that mean for this site? The site you've supported for nearly two years? Hopefully not much. If anything, a lot of the film-related content will naturally defer to Cinematical, (they are paying me, after all) but I'll still try to post on here as much as humanly possible.
So I think that's it. If you have any questions about anything, ask away!
Pat! Really good to hear that you have a job writing about movies. It is
your destiny. I know you probably can't say... but I am curious how much a
job like that pays. Is it to be your sole source of income? Or is it just
some helpful spending cash?
I heard a nasty rumor that Blog-City MADE people make these changes, care
to confirm or deny?
Congratulations! I love your movie reviews, they are lucky to have you.
Here is some movie-related goodness from one of my favorite websites.
Way to go, Pat! Yes, I too hope you'll be able to link from here to there
for your movie reviews--I depend on those suckers.
Curious Jason (Any relation to George?),
Also, can you guys see the heads on the photo up top or are they cropped
for you too? Everything looked great when I left the house this morning and
now the picture's messed up for me. Guess there's still some kinks to work
out.
You can see the heads in firefox, but they're chopped off in IE. Heh, have
fun figuring that out.
Pat, I like the new format, but I think the "I like to move it, move it"
line needs to come back.
Yes, the photo is cropped (no faces). But I thought you might have done
that due to copyright issues. Wish I could still 'preview' my comment and
skip the math (ouch my head hurts). But, it is slick... so I'll live with
it... for now!
Colleen,
CONGRATS PAT! Thats wonderful! something you like to do for fun anf getting
paid, theres nothing better!
That's really, really cool. Awesome. And also, about time.
I was going to say, I can't really think of a remotely BAD movie with any
of the words from that McSweeneys article list in its title.
I hope that you still like to move it. Move it. Add my blog to your friends
list!
Does this mean that you can no longet comment about "Jam it all the way up
my ass"? If not you should probably quit this job...just kidding congrats
Fantastic Pat! Pinata story = genius, by the way.
