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...

This page is for assorted musings and editorialising that don't fit elsewhere on Cinephobia.

It was formerly referred to as "Rumours and Ruminations" but has been renamed to better represent the haphazard nature of what appears here.
