Introducing the Reformed Movie Geek

Many years ago I spent a great many hours debating the merits of this film or that film. Arguing every detail about what made a film great, or a straight up dumpster fire. I was, of course, a younger man then. As a child of the 80's, I had fallen trap, like so many from my generation, to making the films/culture I loved and loathed the very things that defined my personality as a whole. I would confidently declare that I could judge your entire character based on what your favorite movie was.

I was, in short: insufferable. 

As I've gotten older, my opinion has mattered less and less to me, as have the opinions of others. I don't really care to argue the finer points of films anymore. Hell, half the time I can't remember what I've even watched let alone liked. It's all like a mustard burp in a heavy wind these days. Instead, I'm more likely to say, "Hey, that was pretty good" or "Eh" and then quickly forget I ever watched it. 

So then, why start a blog sharing my opinions on film and television?
