Well, the day is finally here, and Movie Dearest is on the move. As I’ve stated in previous memos, I am relocating back to the sunny shores of Florida today. I’m actually flying down (with my things following me on the road), so pray that I don’t get stuck in Detroit due to the weather or something. Have I told you I hate snow? Honestly, it felt extra cold today just to spite me.
I start the new job on Monday, but hope to get back online as soon as possible, sometime over the weekend. In the meantime, be sure to vote in this week’s poll for your most anticipated movie of this year (located in the sidebar to your right, as always), and I will see you shortly!
Well, Movie Dearest is all dolled-up for New Year’s Eve (you better back up though, I feel a belch coming on — this Pepsi has a kick to it, if you know what I mean), so it’s time for some New Year’s resolutions.
To wit, MD hereby resolves to:
- Not succumb to the recent blogging trend of obsessively recapping reality shows or soap operas. (Hello, we do not need to know all the minute details of the latest bisexual shenanigans on Big Brother or how long down to the second Nuke kissed on As the World Turns, thank you very much.)
- Not ever mention the words “Britney Spears” and “shaved head” in the same sentence. Or even the words “Britney Spears”, for that matter. (And don’t get me started on her sister.)
- Not declare the latest starlet who has been around for ten minutes a “gay icon” or to say that the current hunk du jour has a “huge gay following”, both terms that have been tossed about way too cavalierly of late.
- Not take the Writers Guild name in vain just because their little strike is ruining everything we hold dear, from the current TV season to the awards shows to the delay of the movie version of Nine. (Really, I support the writers, but let’s get this mess over with quick, OK guys?)
- Not post anything copied verbatim from Towleroad. com. (Now who does that?)
- Not go anywhere near American Idol if I can help it at all costs so help me god I swear.
- Not carp on and on (and on) about the dearth of gay-themed films in theaters these days like some people do. (Sure, there should be more, but really — what else is new?)
- Not ever think “How bad could it be?” again before watching an internet video. (Two Girls, One Cup, I’m talking to you.)
- Not post any more pictures of hot, bare-chested men. (Yeah right, like that would happen.)
And finally, to continue to respect my MD readers by giving them well-written, informative and entertaining articles about the past, present and future of film, television and the theater. (Come on, I had to throw in one serious one.)
