Coming Soon
Party Peoples,
As you've no doubt noticed, I've decided to enter the fast and exciting world of the "blog." Still, don't make any mistakes, this is a short term deal at best. If all goes well, this thing will be seen by some sort of bigwig newspaper magnate and get syndicated world wide. If that happens, I will quickly both sell out and hire a ghost writer, while I myself hastily blow my newfound wealth playing chemin de fer in Monte Carlo, thus necessitating my return to the blog, which, due to the shoddy nature of the ghost writing, will have left the national syndication market and found its way back to what is certain to be a rarely seen website. Circle of life.
At any rate, I'm going to be talking up films; films I like, films I hate, films I think you should see, films I've recently seen, and just general notions on films that seem like a good idea when I'm up against a deadline to post on this stupid blog so that it will be seen by some bigwig newspaper magnate, etc, etc. First up? This hastily put together glimpse of things to come. What then? Well, generally speaking, I'm going to be using this space, at least initially, to post my list of my 100 favorite films of all time. Each day, you'll get a film and the reasons why I like it. There will probably be a picture of a poster. I don't know. Leave me alone. Beyond that, I'm sure the list will occassionally be interupted by general missives and rants. Get it? Got it? Good.
Also, please feel free to comment on any of this or send me some sort of complaint e-mail. It's all cool. Part of the reason for the blog, and the list especially is to generate discussion. Right now, I intend to post daily, excepting Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is of course the Lord's day, and we all know how Jesus feels about weblogs. If you don't, just run over to jesus.blogger.com. It'll fill you in. As for Saturday, well, in the words of the great poet lauriate Elton John, "Saturday night's alright for fighting." Given that, I think you'll understand if I spend the day prepping for rumbles and not posting to this thing.
Alright. That's all I've got. I hope you enjoy, at least up until I lose interest.
Eric

Wow. This seems to have entirely more of a connection to reality than I would have expected given Lord Houston's term as a newspaper columnist. I'm afraid I have you outdorked, however, as I have a podcast. So in the words of Sir Elton, "Grow some funk of your own, amigo."
For argument sake, I will humbly await the top 100 movie choices of the late, great, Eric Houston. Besides, we all know Bambi was your favorite anyway. =)
I am reminded now though, that you're a Mac user. Hmm...the darkside I sense in you.
Ow'll be bock.
You are going to include Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the Kristy Swanson & Luke Perry version), right?!?
Can't wait to see it--
