GRATITUDE

If my non-U.S. readers will pardon the indulgence of some geo-centricity, I would like to take this opportunity to give some thanks: mostly to all of you out there on the interwebs, who have given me so much encouragement in the last few months, and who keep coming back to read my tepid scrawls, even when I do indefensibly moronic things like write 3000-word screeds about 1940s anthology movies that nobody else has ever heard of.

I am also thankful that I'm two-thirds of the way through this goddamn Disney marathon. Only the equivalent of 200 manuscript pages left to go!

  1. Keep up the great work, Tim. Your blog has a quality to it that I aspire for with my own meager site. I've been diggin' these Disney retrospectives, too. I completely forgot about The Rescuers Down Under! Hehe.

  2. I'll second my brother's comment -- I've found this Disney retrospective absolutely fascinating and educational as well. I'm just amazed you have been able to write so much of it so quickly and with so much obvious passion for the subject.

    Keep up the good work and have a great Thanksgiving.

  3. You're a crazy person. The result: a great blog, and in fact the *only* non-political blog that I read regularly. The New Yorker needs to fire those tools Denby and Lane and take you on. But until that happens, keepittup.

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.
