I [used to] followed any number of webloggers who <i>pledged</i> to do something until he | she finished. Many, many of them abandoned their trek somewhere down the line. Of course, some set their objective way too far.<br />I got out of long-form blogging 11 years ago, as the residue from LiveJournal's <i>strikethrough massacre</i> [May 2007].<br />The movies which consume the good chunk of my off-line viewing would bring a batted eye to many movie followers. This continues to bother me. Those devoting their mindset to the movies of Dario Argento, Mario Bava, Lucio Fulci, and yes, even Tinto Brass, but would decry the existence of erotic motion pictures which took the additional step of <b>depicting</b> a lewd act explicitly, to the point of ignoring their existence, were and are not a fan of movies. Those of us <b><i>on the other side of the cinematic tracks</i></b> know which mainstream directors had a fling (or two) with the movies we view. <br />The North American discrimination and ghettoization of those who also work in explicit erotica is entirely unseeming to me. <br />You did not step on this trap.<br />Your reportage on the movies you viewed was keen. That it happened you <i>did not enjoy</i> some of the movies you viewed was to be expected. <i>But you did not denigrate those movies merely because you did not enjoy them.</i><br />I enjoyed every blog post you made.<br />Would I want to glimpse every movie you viewed? Oh my. Probably not. But then again, I am not you [and you are not me].<br />Insofar as movie #2,500, that cuts close to the bone. I do not want people to browse the abode here because it is cluttered with DVDs (and VHS'), both pre- and post-recorded. Some of them almost certainly <i>must go</i>. But I cannot bear to trash them.<br />You will remain on my regular bookmark page. I want to learn what you will view now that you are free from the restraints of having to watch 2,500 movies. If I discover them going cheap enough on DVD, I may very well buy them; if not for myself, for those whom I exchange Xmas gifts.<br />Thank you very much for all these movie reviews.<br /> Pudgy 8=)}Steve D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12337124618723219550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-11135465010158273882018-05-07T05:07:18.870-04:002018-05-07T05:07:18.870-04:00Hello Dr.Shock,
