Cinematronica!

[Rat-Bat-Spider]

Hi there. Rat-Bat-Spider here. Just announcing to the general populace that as of January 1'st, I am going to watch a movie every single day and do a review on it. Original, huh? I know. Its just an exercise to help keep my writing sharp, and an excuse to watch a bunch of movies. I wanted to start up a website for this, but I'm kind of new to the internet, and nobody I knew could teach me how, so I'm going to start off small until I learn how to make a web page. So if anybody is interested, check out my Myspace blog. It's called Cinematronica; search for it just like that. I already have an overview of how things are going to work as well as a test review for Twilight. So come on over and I'll add you as a friend. BTW I'll still be on the threads; this isn't my day job or anything. And if anyone out there can teach me how to make a web page, I would love to learn! Thanks!!!

Hey R-B-S:

Good idea, I look forward to keeping up with it.

The easiest way to get a bigger web presence may be to use one of the free blogging services, for example http://wordpress.com/.  I can't speak for other services, but I find wordpress fairly intuitive to use. 

If that's successful and you want to do even more, then you can always register your own domain (about $15), find hosting (as low as $10/month), and move your blog over to that new website.

Thanks for the advice, friend! I may just do that. I could always use more coverage, so I could always do the blog on two sites instead of just one. When I figure out this whole blogging thing, that is.

All right! Now you can get to it at either MySpace, or my new page www.cinematronica.wordpress.com  Thanks again for the good idea, Rev.! I hope to see you guys there on the 1'st. You all are the smartest posters I've seen in my short time on the Internet, and I hope to have you guys keep me in line if I start to suck. See ya!!!

Good luck.  I'll be extremely impressed if you can keep to a daily schedule for an entire year, especially if you write reviews the length of the TWILIGHT one.  I ran a blog once where I posted everyday for about 6 months before running out of steam.  The articles were shorter than yours, though.  I would write an entire week's worth on a weekend and set them to publish throughout the week.

I couldn't do it; not every day.  The problem isn't doing the mechanical writing, the problem is that I tend to tell stories and do all sorts of free association in the reviews.  For that, I've found that I have to do things, see stuff, talk to people - the mental equivalent of seeding a random number generator.

It is good to see some new cult and b-movie sites popping up.  With you and Saucerman, it's two in less than a week!
