The Cinephobia Blog?
I don't want to jump on the blog bandwagon. (Blogwagon?) I don't actually like blogs, generally. There are so many of them: the blogosphere - and God, I hate that term - seems to me an undistinguished rabble of people talking, with nobody listening. But then, what's new? While I mustered up the hubris to write my own website, I did so really as a hobby without much expectation that anybody would read it - and in the end, few have. I keep writing it purely because I enjoy writing about film. So I probably can't really point at bloggers for being deluded egomaniacs. sfu

Having said that - I still can't bring myself to write a blog in the conventional sense. However, reading Jaime J. Weinman's Something Old, Nothing New, I realised the advantage that blogs do have: they allow a freer opportunity to write about anything. And I realised that the very infrequently updated "Rumours and Ruminations" section of Cinephobia would probably benefit from being converted into this kind of format.

So here goes. I certainly won't be updating with the frequency of a proper blog, but I might as well use the technology available to me.

I'll start by posting, as a job lot, all my old Rumours and Ruminations updates. So without further ado, the old entries...
