Long Time No Blog


Lights! Camera! Action! In this scene the sad excuse for a movie critic beats himself up and attempts to apologize to the empty room he calls an audience...

Well there's always that guy :P

On a serious note, I'd like to apologize for making a blog, taking it seriously for a day, and then quitting. I'll spill the beans and tell everyone that I always do this sort of thing. Meaning, I'll start something, be decent at it and although I enjoy it immensely, give it up without even giving the project a chance. I realize that I didn't really have a large audience or any regular viewers to begin with and this particular blog post might in fact just go out to an ostrich, but what I've done with this blog is pathetic.
I left this page but I never left my passion for film or my love of reviewing movies. Truly, I've been inspired. I'm a bit late on the bandwagon, but I recently discovered Roger Ebert (May he rest in peace). To learn about a man who honestly and passionately put everything he had into something that I myself am passionate about was mesmerizing. I was absolutely captivated by his beauty and grace and I just want to take the time to relay to you all how incredibly brilliant and snazzy this man is. The perfect way he
Right. I'll stop before the brown stuff on my nose melts and drips onto the floor, down the stairs, out the door and to the general public where the government will package it and market it and the cops will where football helmets while the entire human race will become radically addicted to it only to discover that it's actually the feces of a great man.

WHAT IS THE SECRET OF SOYLENT POO?!

If anybody can catch that reference you deserve THE HIGHEST OF FIVES!!!

What I'm ultimately getting at here though is today I read a quote by Ebert: 

"One of the gifts a movie lover can give another is the title of a wonderful film they have not yet discovered."

and it really meant something. Yeah it's a fairly simple quote but at the same time it completely reminded me of the exact reason why I wanted to start this blog in the first place. If you look back at my introduction post or my biography you'll see that I said I only started all of this because I was bored but if you also read my earlier posts you'll realize that I was just a self obsessed, pretentious douche canoe. 

In actuality I only wrote that to make myself seem better than I actually am. I was a huge idiot and in my prolonged absence I've done a lot of growing and self discovery and I've had an Epiphany:

I started this blog because I love the feeling I get when I watch a magical film. It makes me feel alive, like I can do anything and if I can somehow share such a positive experience with another human being I intend to do everything in my power to accomplish just that.

So I'd like to ask you to accept my sincerest of apologies. I know I joke around a lot and the things I say can and more than likely will be offensive at some point, but if you stick with me, I guarantee you won't regret it. The humor is going to stay, as it's part of who I am and through laughter I can spread happiness, but I am certainly going to buckle down, take this more seriously and make people glad that they came to my page. I know that This Is Just Another Movie Blog and it's ridiculous for me to feel bad for abandoning a project that didn't take off to begin with, but it's MY movie blog and it's going to make a huge roar one day!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I know most of you are new viewers and this entire post won't make much sense to you, but still, it's something I had to do, even if I'm making a fool out of myself.

Actually yes
WELCOME TO TIJAMB! TAKE TWO!
