Welcome!
Friday, June 8th, 2007 8:17 pm—FilmThis blog has been a long time coming. For the past few months, a friend has been on my case to get started. But I was resistant. There’s something about blogs and personal websites… I think they’re coming close to replacing a relationship with god for many people who don’t have a particular faith. It gives the writer a sense that someone out there somewhere is reading, knowing and understanding their innermost thoughts. Isn’t that what people feel when they pray—that they’re connecting to some unseen presence and trusting that someone is listening and watching over them? The idea felt strange to me, and a little sad and presumptuous.
But now that I’m finally getting to it, I think I’m going to wind up getting more out of this blog than my friend will. Maybe it’ll put me back on the film track, which I’ve been off of in recent years. So thanks, BD (or SD, as you should really be called ☺). Stay tuned for my posts on films and whatever other thoughts they may stir up.
