Stairways to cinephiliac heaven

the blog "stairs in film" (see linklist) consists of, well the name says it all - images of stairs in movies. although the blogger calls it silly fun, it´s remarkable what kind of memories flash in front of your mental eye when you start browsing through the blog. if you think about it for a second, there are not just some great looking stairs in the world (real or movie), there are also many significant, dramatic and memorable scenes that take place on stairs: battleship potemkin, obviously, the shining, psycho, the money pit (my personal fave), a history of violence, the big lebowski (and what a beauty that is) and on and on and on (go see and remember for youself).
i guess the blog isn´t just silly fun, but fits right into the discussion about cinephiliac moments: maybe there´s something we could call a cinephiliac fetish - and stairs are a great one to have.

Critique of the pure image

i love film criticism as much as movies themselves. i definitely have read more about movies than i have read novels, so finding a blog dedicated to being about film criticism is just awesome.
i have yet to rummage through andy´s entire archive, actually i still have most of this blogathon to read, but so far it has been great. So, if you are interested in film criticism, have fun.

the ALMOST daily appreciator

i should really emphasize the "almost". what can i say: work, important exam, holidays, computer troubles, my usual motivational problems and using every opportunity i had with a computer (that wasn´t mine - like now) to do other things have "distracted" me from this here blog. but if there are readers whose name isn´t christian, then use the comments to make yourself known - i will most likely answer comments, even in stressfull times.
so here´s my plans for the future:
aside of findings on the internet (pics´n´stuff) there will be more of the following:
textual healing - i will do more "literary reviews" of stuff that isn´t written by friends, although there will still be those, too. i want to do books, journalistic and essayisitic pieces and such - everything that i read and that gives me textual healing - so no negative reviews, no rants.
otherwise published - i have yet to find other texts (or write for other venues), but there will be more, as well.
shades of truth - there was a post with that title that gave you a hint of what i will try to do with that, namely: essays on certain movies, NOT reviews and NOT some general movie-related topic, but different movies. i like to ramble on about movies and have weird theories which i want to share with whomever it may concern. when i have enough movie stuff together, there might be a movieblog in the future...
other new stuff: comic reviews, column title: linus` notes.
general essays/ideas - jotting down ideas, not fully articulated, free associative, stream-of-conciousness, title: essayciations (i love stupid wordplay;-).
tv-related essays/critiques - title: cool channel.
and maybe some music(video) related stuff, title (you´ve guessed it): everything i know about music i learned watching beavis and butthead.
and if i´m in a ranting mode, which i often am but that´s not the point of this site, i will have another cool cloumn title: the monthly deprecator (depreciator, i´m not sure yet).
mighty ambitious of me, but i have months to prove my ambitions right, just don´t expect daily updates.
