1.

to borrow from the genius of peter sellers, "i like to watch."

essentially, i'm a voyeur. a shocking confession, yes, but instead of harboring all of the pleasure for myself i figure i'd share it with whomever might be reading this. hopefully this will act as a forum/venue for the essays, musings, and observations i have with my true passion for film. there is nothing more pleasurable (well, maybe a few things) than sitting in a darkened room with all of your emotions, senses, and attention focused on the moving image spectacle that is film. the perfume of buttered popcorn, the quiet thud of the film advancing through the projector, the hum of the air conditioner, and the silence of an audience completely pulled into the screen only add to the privilege of watching a good movie. it's quite visceral, but the experience is somehow never complete until we as viewers share our feelings and reactions after the lights go up.

the lights have gone up and this is my blog.

i hesitate to be so limited in my interests because i also enjoy engaging in serious discourse about the quest for the perfect t-shirt, the relevance of the olsen twins, the merits of beyonce's last album, and the joy of tennis. i don't pretend to be an expert on any of these disparate subjects, but they are things that might make their way into whatever interests me to post. we look at, inspect, examine, and digest all of these things.


so, watch with me and enjoy.
