Joe's Movie Corner is beyond the point of no return.

It's grown too pointless to keep up. Too staled. I've doomed it myself, and from the moment I created it's name. I used my actual name instead of my pen/preferred name in the title and, by assumption, restricted myself to only film, which I've never focused on completely, which makes me depressed. And this is in no way, shape or form a corner. People grow up. They realize their mistakes. But sometimes, like the Holocaust to Germany or Dakota Fanning to her parents, they can't be undone by mere apologies or witch-trials.

So I'm afraid this is the end of the road for JMC. Or at least very near the end.

But do not cry for me... like you'd be crying for me ...this is not my end. I've actually already created a new blog... a less restricted and more free blog. Where I can talk about whatever the frak I want without feeling I owed something to my readers. Oh, don't worry - it will still be film-centric, it just won't be a foolish attempt at being limited to just film. Plus: it's neon-y! And who doesn't love neon?

So... um... yeah.]]> Sat, 31 May 2008 15:53:00 +0000 film-centric movie corner corner film free blog blog mere apologies love neon foolish attempt Endgame http://cinemaratty.com/article/5bc2a0f2ff42e5987039ba1676573037 http://cinemaratty.com/article/5bc2a0f2ff42e5987039ba1676573037 BODY OF WORK

I'm getting into a really nice groove with these, especially with writing the thought boxes. It'll be hard for me to top the ones for Supporting Actress and Character Intro, but hey, at least I'm actually doing them!

Yup, I'm back to doing it! Yay!

It was a weirdly great year for the category, but one that still gets outshined by Actress. Because, despite the lead category's mighty complex of shortlisters, Supporting's is even larger, only less interestingly, ya know?

#2 - My life is sinking lower and lower into the pits of hell. But it might actually be reaching low enough for change to happen, so that's a - hesitant - YAY.

#3 - I wish I had an iPod. A Sansa just doesn't cut it. *sigh*

#4 - I was up for like, 24 hours yesterday, and I was only tired through the last hour of it. And then I only got less than 9 hours of sleep, and now my eyes are screaming at me. NOT. FUN.

#5 - I feel like shit.

What about you? What's up?

Okay, I've got 9 categories up as of right now, one on each page. And why not, I might as well list them (the posted ones in bold):

Majors - Picture, Director, O Screenplay, A Screenplay, Animated, Documentary, Foreign
Acting - L Actor, L Actress, S Actor, S Actress, L/C Actor, L/C Actress
Arts/Techs 1 - Cinematography, Costume Design, Film Editing, Production Design
Arts/Techs 2 - Make-Up, O Score, O Song, Visual Effects
Secondary Acting - Y Actor, Y Actress, V/O Actor, V/O Actress, V/O Supporting, Ensemble
People Awards - Body of Work, Acting Breakthrough, W/D Breakthrough, Mix-Tape Score*
Character Awards - Hero, Villain, Character Intro, Quote
Scenes - Scene, Action, Musical/Music, Musical/Non-Music, Opening, Ending
Marketing - Poster, Tagline, Title

I've had to update 2 of the categories between their posting and now because of a quick re-evaluation or mind-blank (von Sydow, d'oh!), but that's okay, right? Just minor tweaks. Also, if there's anything or anyone or whatever missing a nomination or a mention that you find odd, don't be afraid to speak up. I have the memory of a squirrel on smack, and I need YOUR HELP! Whee!

But seriously, just speak up. Anything I'm doing right, wrong, left -- I thrive on comments, because it's proof that you're actually out there. Please?
