From October 5-October 18, I saw 24 feature films, a gobsmacking average of 1.71 per day. And I have dutifully written a review of each and every one of those. And I've done it while mired in the busiest single project I've ever had at work.
In short: I am mentally exhausted.
("Oh, the po' baby! He had ta bwog more than wonsa day!")
And because I am mentally exhausted, I am going to take a bit of time off of blogging. A week, let us say, to regroup and regain the ability to think. Because frankly, I'd like to start writing about anything that isn't film again, and I don't think I can do that right now.
Which is not to say that film writing will be gone: no, indeed! In fact, as a teaser to bring you all back, let me promise that next weekend I'll have a review of Clint Eastwood's WWII drama Flags of Our Fathers...no, shouldn't promise a review of a film I haven't seen. Well, if I do see it, I can promise to write something unthinkingly hagiographic, even if the film consists of nothing but Ryan Phillippe slapping Jesse Bradford in the face with his cock for two hours. Go Clint!

Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.
Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
If in fact your worst case scenario for the film is born out, I definitely see why Clint felt the need to make "Letters from Iwo Jima"... and I still think both would get oscar nominated.
