Took a break to refocus and collect more enthusiasm. This a very pessimistic and low energy moment in our collective history and a very dull bit for me personally. At least I've rediscovered my identity as a cinephile even if I'm not so sure I'm in love with film like I once was. The future of film is murky and my latest re-watches haven't been kind.

I'm still discovering good little films and very impressed with how much ground TV has made lately, but it hasn't approached film except in rare instances (which is how TV has always worked; more popular but overhyped).I might add some TV series reviews here.

My Jess Franco project marches on and, while I understand him more, I have lost the hope that his giant body of work is littered by bits of gold. More like he made a couple outstanding movies, a whole lotta mediocre ones and a ton of junk thats only slightly redeeming. Maybe I'm just burnt out or demoralized by subjecting myself to the most obscure and disliked films from his canon.

Ok, time to catch up and pump out some new reviews.
