I have to say that I'm inundated with new releases and I haven't seen many of the older classics that you've review. So I'm admittedly unable to appreciate some of what I'm currently seeing because of what I haven't seen, but at the same time I don't want to miss out on all the new movies. It's in a impossible balance for anyone, let alone someone who considers film and blogging a hobby.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I look forward to your contemporary reviews and the animated series as well. Even my taste in old Disney animation is "contemporary" - Robin Hood from the 70's!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-10317262755581449172009-01-08T20:49:00.000-05:002009-01-08T20:49:00.000-05:00Thanks for the comments, all.

I've never discounted the fact that you people are about the best bunch of readers a writer can ask for. :) I look forward to reading all of your work throughout this year as well, and giving it the spotlight it so richly deserves in the Sunday Matinee round-up. Hopefully I'll have some thoughts on <I>Benjamin Button</I> soon.T.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00945932279787919282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-86873219941716072362009-01-04T23:04:00.000-05:002009-01-04T23:04:00.000-05:00This is an auspicious and exciting line-up.

I particularly look forward to the Buster keaton reviews (as your Chaplin stuff was incomparable)and I am always interested in the Disney features.<BR/><BR/> I agree with the good doctor that BENJAMIN BUTTON is largely successful.

T...Can't wait...especially for the Disney features. Though I hope your contingency plan is in place as this may be a shockingly more difficult goal than you would assume...given the risible tendency of the Mouse Factory to play now-you-see-it-now-you-don't with their most venerated classics (many are not even available on Netflix). If you have trouble accessing any of these films, I suggest raiding the homes of friends with kids and making off with their movie collection. Unsavory perhaps, but blogging ain't no tea party...<BR/><BR/>Not sure if you saw it yet, but I have linked up to your Obama endorsement (with a nod in the direction of your Hitchcock series too) on my year-end round-up review of favorite posts. There were a lot to choose from here and I ended up going in the slightly idiosyncratic direction, but I really did enjoy that piece.<BR/><BR/>You can read the whole entry (lots of other great links too) here:<BR/><BR/>http://thedancingimage.blogspot.com/2008/12/dancing-image-in-2008.html<BR/><BR/>Happy new year...Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-11302902061339599512009-01-02T13:12:00.000-05:002009-01-02T13:12:00.000-05:00Even though I write exclusicely about classic film...Even though I write exclusicely about classic films, I love contemporary ones too. So I see where you are coming from. And I have the same issue as you do, losing interest between film release and dvd release. Maybe that's why DVDs are coming out so much sooner these days?<BR/><BR/>I really like your blog and am looking forward to 2009.Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-38396624120251548042009-01-01T18:16:00.000-05:002009-01-01T18:16:00.000-05:00Hi!

Buster Keaton sounds like fun. Of more recent films, I recommend <I>Benjamin Button</I>. It strives for something like classic status, and at any rate, I found the film unusually thought-provoking for a recent release.The Film Doctor https://www.blogger.com/profile/03073505923746994988noreply@blogger.com
