The late-return fees are getting crippling.

Change is definitely a good thing. I've been writing on blogs for years, and it has always been mainly about film. As most of my friends and family know, I'm film obsessed, specifically about horror and trash genres. There was a stage where I used to watch up to around ten or twelve films a week (my mid-20's was my most excessive) but as I've gotten older, I just can't churn through them the same way I used to. The same goes for writing reviews. I can't hammer them out like I did in the old days, as it tends to take me much longer to find my thoughts on what I want to say (probably that 'getting older' business again), and hey, if you aren't going to put the effort in, then what's the point in doing it?

Also, by just writing about film, I've found that I can't really yabber on about other interests of mine. I'm very much into reading, video games, music, and pretty much anything at all that keeps the brain ticking along. Solely writing film reviews has been far too restrictive on me the last year, as there are plenty of other things I would love to go on about. It doesn't reflect what I do with my time nearly as much as it did, say, 7 years ago, and as I watch less and less, I have in turn, written less and less. So, to save me from only putting up a handful of posts every month, I've decided to change things around a bit.

So what does this mean for my cosy little space on the web? Good things, mainly. First of all, I will still be doing the same amount of film reviews from the same period of cinema. That won't change. They will still be as awkwardly structured as always, too, so don't fret. Secondly, I will probably be doing equal amounts of posts on video games (the older the better), music and anything related. Thirdly, I have room to do much more in the way of features that are retro-culture related, as opposed to just film stuff. I tend to write non-review articles much faster, so it equals more action on the blogosphere. The idea behind the blog for me is still the same; focusing on a time I grew up in and on the things I loved.

The bottom line is; if it is old, and I think it's cool, I will write about it. I'm an obsessive geek at heart, and I'm sure I've plenty more I can share with you beyond a taste for questionable films. Hopefully you will enjoy reading about it.
