As I am presently sweating off what very well might be the heaviest meal I have ever eaten - at least, I have not been in such pain so long after a meal in as long as I can recall - yes, these are quintessentially first world problems - my hugely ambitious plan for blogging tonight will have to hang on for another day.
But that just gives me a good excuse to take advantage of this day of thanks to say that, as always, I am profoundly grateful to all of you, my readers; this has been my most professionally satisfying year of blogging since I started this all the way back in 2005, and it would not have been possible without your support and good feelings over the years. So I thank you all, deeply and sincerely.
To my US readers celebrating, and to everyone else for whom it's just a Thursday, I hope the day finds you and your families well.

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.
I wish you, Tim, a joyful Thanksgiving as well. I would be remiss if I did not tell you that you've been an inspiration to me. I look forward to backing you up when you are right about a movie and showing you the error of your ways when you are wrong about certain films.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding...or am I?
I like your blog so much that it has lead me to search for other similar blogs that are as interesting to read and as full of insight as yours.
ReplyDeleteAlas, yours is still the first and only must-read after I see a new film. Thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving to the only reviewer I trust to have a consistently eloquent and well-thought-out stance on whatever movie he reviews.
ReplyDeleteBest to you and yours! Keep being awesome.
Right on. It's easy to get bogged down in this country's general shittiness, but when you put things in perspective...you realize there's still quite a lot to appreciate, this blog included. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteAnd a happy Thanksgiving to you. I do not exaggerate when I say that I truly grateful for the presence of this blog in my life. You are a joy to read.
ReplyDeleteI too am so grateful to have found your blog. Happy Thanksgiving!
