THE LAUNCHING OF A NEW BLOG

September 8, 2008 by wondersinthedark

Today, September 7, 2008, a new blog is born. The main thrust of this cultural endeavor will be the publication of reviews, which will examine films, theatre, concerts and opera. Several writers will be on board to bring the steaming excitement of Manhattan culture to the internet world. In the area of film, there will also be ongoing attention to classic and contemporary cinema by some terrific writers and a tracking of new DVD releases of art house product. As the site matures, it is also anticipated that pictures and photos will be utilized. This is a most exciting project and I am thrilled with the prospect of rewarding discourse by way of posts and comments. -Sam Juliano

Welcoming to the world of blogging Samuel.

I look forward to your regular movie reviews. Hopefully the increased competition will spur me on to pick up my own game!

Good luck and have fun.

I have told you before that you needed to start your own site, and I am so thrilled to know it is going to become a reality soon! Of course, I will support your site just like I support you, and wish you the best of luck Sam, not that you’ll need it

I am so thrilled and ecstatic to be present for the beginning of this magnificent enterprise.

I wasn’t even aware that it had been launched.

Best of luck to you, Sam. But you won’t need my sincere good wishes.

I’m sure this site will be a smashing success. You have a lot to offer in terms of the artistic community on the net.

You are going to enjoy all of this immensely.

Enormously glad you finally made the leap. Awesome to know that you’ve made the initial steps to greatness…

Miranda: I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that incredible red carpet treatment. When it comes to issuing staements that make a person feel great, you are up there with the best of them. I have a long way to go before I can come within hailing distance of your great site and a number of others. I will slowly pick up pointers, but for now I am amazed the site is a reality. I thank you so much for adding me to your blog roll, and with yours added from this end, it will make it so much easier to visit you a lot more often. Thanks again. I bow down to you.

As I drift over here it has become quite clear that your posts are even better then your comments. I can’t wait to read more of your reviews.

I hang around MovieZeal a bit. And I wrote a review for “The Killers” and “Intolerable Cruelty” for Noir/Coen month.

Joseph I remember you now, and I read your review on THE KILLERS. Very fine work there!!! I have added your name to the blog roll, and I will check out your site regularly. As I said, when I get back in the house later I will read your UMBERTO D piece and add my two cents. Thanks for your encouragement.
