Incidentally I have been seeing quite a number of new movies, though, and am at least for the moment enjoying the "freedom" of seeing them without feeling a kind of obligation to write something (not that that was ever imposed on anyone but me in the first place).Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-12728049138191378052011-10-11T20:20:47.063-05:002011-10-11T20:20:47.063-05:00Come back soon Daniel.

I totally agree with Part B to #3 - in fact, for the purposes of writing on a blog, the improved understanding of movies is as if not more important than improved writing. <br /><br />Rest assured I have and will continue to read yours and others blogs, even if I haven't dived into the discussions (I did watch <i>Rear Window</i> again recently and referenced your post while viewing). Your reviews are unquestionably among my favorites for your breezy writing style and critical clarity, often picking up on details that most people miss (logical impossibilities or otherwise).Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-68951717725119777782011-09-16T21:17:46.688-05:002011-09-16T21:17:46.688-05:00Daniel: Can I suggest there's a Part B to No. ...Daniel: Can I suggest there's a Part B to No. 3? "Nothing improves your understanding of movies like writing about them." That doesn't mean that every movie needs to be written about. It means that the experience of writing about them, of looking into those fine details, shapes the way you watch movies thereafter. Or maybe that's just me.<br /><br />While my blog keeps plugging on without posting much more frequently than you will be in your official (but perhaps not permanent) retirement, I have tried to maintain the same attitude you express here. Indeed, I never want this hobby to be a job. And as the actual job has gobbled up time in recent years, I've made peace with the fact that the hobby -- because that's all it is -- has to suffer for it. So be it.<br /><br />I greatly appreciate all the support you've given my way; it means a lot. And even more I appreciate the good reads you've given me.<br /><br />Stop blogging, fine. But I hope you don't disappear. Drop in sometime. Check up on me and Hokahey so you can help me explain just how silly Nic Cage's next movie is. I'll be glad to see you.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435253058176416288.post-82225637574116426112011-09-15T23:07:35.281-05:002011-09-15T23:07:35.281-05:00I agree, Hokahey - debates always make for the ric...I agree, Hokahey - debates always make for the richest experiences.

I'm getting to the end of my third year of blogging, and in all that time, counter arguments coming from other bloggers have never dampened my enthusiasm for a movie I like.

I know I've missed a few gems this summer already (I took a minor jab at Super 8 a while ago) and it's definitely something I still think about when I'm watching, even if I haven't had the time to flush them out here, <i><a href="http://getafilm.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-love-knowing-great-betrayal-man.html" rel="nofollow">Knowing</a></i>-style.
