Where’d all the fireworks go?
My plan was always going to be that I update this site with a movie review a day till the cows came home, called it a day, and took a nice long nap. I’d make my fame and fortune off the spoils of my brilliant literary wit and criticism skill.
Then…*dramatic thunder-clap* It all went wrong.
I started school full-time. I got a part time job working at a library. I became the promotions manager at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto. The reviews started coming out in fits. My writing started to become tedious and repetitive (Some would argue it was always that way). I was beginning to feel like I was filling in mad-libs sheets.
It was over.
Will the glory days of Film Junkies ever be back with vengeance? Hard to say. For all intents and purposes I LOVE to write about film and I don’t’ seem shutting about it anytime soon, so there’s always that dangling carrot. If you live in Toronto, you’ve lucked out on the best hand possible, because you’ll be able to suffer through my on-stage introductions to all the retro and cultish films at The Bloor Cinema. I’ll be also be organizing together a film group to discuss cinematic geekery once a week in association with the theater.
Everyone else...Uh…I’d recommend checking this site out maybe twice a months for scattered updates, but forget about it being daily or even weekly, it just isn’t going to happen. Well, unless you’re an eccentric millionaire who wants to pay my way through life, call me, we'll iron out the details.
