Time for some improvements around here.

Often it seems, upon reading older entries of this blog, I am sad to notice what in some cases seem like lifeless and unprofessional attempts on my part to win favor, or something altogether too pedestrian. I don't want this blog to just be something any old fan boy or movie buff could string together.
For example, what is great about There Will Be Blood is not just how it spoke to me or what it spoke of, but also it's images, the interplay between light and shadow and the subtle, yet profound way, it's music fills you with a surge of emotion. These are things I understand. The words to describe film are a part of my lexicon, but for some reason I have chosen to ignore things like lighting design and camera angles. Film is art, but it is a technical art.
Also on an earlier blog entry I decided to post one blog everyday. This turned out to be one of those ideas that never came into happy fruition.
So, here then, with these two truths in mind, is my new pledge. I promise, in fact I more than promise, that from here on out the quality of this blog will be improved tenfold. With this I hope for an increase in readership. I know that I am capable of such things. I recognize the unprofessional nature of this particular blog entry, but I want to make you, my faithful readers, aware of these changes that I plan to implement.
I adore film as both a form of art and testament to who and what we are as human beings. I only hope that, with what remains of this blog, that I can pay film its rightful due.
Right now, upon a second viewing of Into the Wild, I am staring at 78 pages of notes about the film, trying to turn it into a workable blog entry. I hope to have it posted by Sunday, but I won't promise this. I am writing this Into the Wild entry, based on an intriguing question posed to me by a good friend. It will perhaps be more personal than I had originally intended. However, something this blog has taught me, or more accurately reminded me of, is just how personal the experience of viewing and engaging with film can truly be.
