The Road To My 100th Review, Part IV

Everyone can relax: I think I'm getting closer to a decision as to what review #1-0-0 will be (finally), but I still have a reflection or two to go to relieve myself of my writer's angst.

A few months ago, I read somewhere that someone wrote that bloggers shouldn't consider themselves writers because ANYONE can blog - it takes soul to be a writer.

Really?

Seems to me that with the advent of blogging, there have been so many more blogs created that are a series of video postings, rants, misspelled words and uninformed opinions.

Uh....

Part of the work that goes into writing is creativity and when it comes to the Internet, it has proven a canvas onto which many forms of art can coincide peacefully. For the most part, the greatest area of this is in the written word; I myself have read so many blogs that have created many esoteric ruminations on subjects both great and small.

Whenever anyone can, through the power of the printed word, motivate the reader to think as strongly and as passionately about a subject as they who wrote it, then there you have a case for making bloggers the speakers for the artistic movement of a new age. Whether concerning itself with the inherent artistry in paintings or poetry or music or television or, of course, movies, a blogger has the power to bring Van Gogh to the masses, explain Goethe to a wide audience or expound on the virtues of "My Mother The Car".

I guess if anyone would read this blog, the main thing they'd leave with is the notion that sometimes bad movies can be the best ones to watch. I mean, they at least hold the most joy for a poor weary movie-goer like me.

Which makes this 100th review I am to do all the more important. We're talking lousy movies here; it's a safe guess that my review won't be of a GOOD movie. This still leaves me a lot of leeway, seeing that there are a lot of really bad movies out there I have yet to review. And I have many more I would love to get my grubby, sweaty mitts on.

Come now: who else do you know who'd love to own movies like Humanoid Woman, Pod People and Jan-Gel: The Beast from the East?

So yes; blogging is writing and, by definition, bloggers are writers. So there you go.

And I look forward to continuing my writing career for a long while after this. I have a soul that needs voicing.

And it wouldn't hurt to get myself a copy of Humanoid Woman, either.

Dope out.
