When I saw Siskel and Ebert on tv as a kid, I thought it was a great job - watch movies all day and argue about them. It's harder than that, of course, but I never thought I would get the chance to do it.<BR/><BR/>But I have. I did it for a few years with the Muse and the past two years with The Express. And now I get to do this on, hopefully, a regular basis. It is cool and I'm greatful to get the chance.<BR/><BR/>As for reviewing new movies, that was one of my fears as well, Corey. When they left a message and asked if I was interested, I figured once they knew I can't see new releases the weekend they open on a regular basis that would be it.<BR/><BR/>But they're very understanding of that. They want me to talk about movie trends and throw in a new release DVD review, which is easy enough to do.<BR/><BR/>As for trends, well, I've got something on whether or not King Kong is a flop, as some are arguing. I can talk about the Academy Awards and I'm working on something for when V For Vendetta opens.<BR/><BR/>So it'll be fun. If this episode works, of course.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1139423799858019092006-02-08T13:36:00.000-05:002006-02-08T13:36:00.000-05:00The design of the Freestyle web site is fairly rep...The design of the Freestyle web site is fairly representative of their program. Fluffy, without much in the way of content. The show itself is chatty, like Sheila Rogers on a bad day, and I confess the first couple of weeks I thought someone had forgotten to reprogram them after the strike; it has a 'half assed' (ahem) feel to it which reminds me of college radio gone pro...<BR/><BR/>I do, however, like their 'lead in' technique - they chat for a bit about a topic, and then pop right into an interview about it. That sort of faux-spontaneity surprises me every time. Yay, cognitive dissonance.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the show. Its sort of weird, though.<BR/><BR/>First, you don't even have the show broadcast in your area. (Though people might catch it online). Second, how do you review movies when they don't arrive opening weekend in Iqaluit?<BR/><BR/>Maybe you can score a ride on the big airplane to review the in-flight movie? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-1139421439663573132006-02-08T12:57:00.000-05:002006-02-08T12:57:00.000-05:00Lucky you.
