Yikes. It’s been months. Look, let’s just cut to the Chase. I’ve got several legitimate excuses as to why I dropped off the face of the Earth for a bit, but who wants to hear that? Instead of boring you with a “life update”, I intend to just apologize for my absence, go ahead and apologize for my future absence, and explain what I’m going to be doing in between those.

First, I sincerely apologize for my lack of posts these past few months. I know it’s what most of you live for and I’m sorry I’ve deprived you of random lists of movies that have some vague thematic connection between them or reviews of movies you weren’t going to see in theaters anyways because either you had no interest or it’ll be available on streaming eventually. All I can say is that I intend to do better – nay, to be better – but I can only do so much. I’ve already alluded to the fact that I will be going on hiatus in the near future, so what else is there to say? Hopefully, this isn’t the last series of posts I will be making on this website, and maybe one day I’ll pick up the laptop again, dust it off, and return with great indifference as if I was never gone. But we’ll see. On to the important stuff…

In my circle of friends, I’m known as “the movie guy” – a badge I wear with great pride. I have no problem with having forsaken genuine education like math and science, not to mention basic life skills like how to do my taxes or talk to people, and replacing them with random movie factoids that will get me nowhere in life let alone with most acquaintances. And so, because of this label and notoriety, I get a surprising amount of requests for movie recommendations. If those who ask don’t have a specific idea in mind of what they’re interested in, I typically just pull from my favorites and throw one out there. However, I’ve never on this blog really addressed what my favorite movies are. I have reviewed some and even more have made a list of some kind, but I haven’t outright said, “these are a few of my favorite things.”

So, with my remaining few months of freedom (sounds ominous, don’t it?), I intend to run the gamut and run the gauntlet of movie recommendations by serving up reviews for my Top 100 Movies. To up the ante even more, I intend to include a mini review with each one of a similar or companion film if you want to explore a little more or have yourself a double feature. That means 200 movies in total. Which also means at least one review per day. Woof.

Anyway, we’ll see how this goes. I don’t know when I’ll start, but each review will be numbered, so you’ll know it when you see it. And hopefully, I will not completely flake on this.
