The 2005 Final Tally
As this year’s narcissistic number-crunching exercise proves, 2005 turned out to be even busier than 2004. The results – broken down more simply than last year, simply because I don’t feel like nitpicking – are below:
Published Print and Online Reviews (Film and DVD): 204
Site Reviews (Film and DVD): 145
2005 Theatrical vs. DVD Reviews:
Theatrical: 240
DVD: 109
Total Reviews: 349
Not bad, but I can do better. Bring on 2006!
I think you should do some meta-writing -- i.e. what it's like to review films professionally, as opposed to just being a cinema buff -- I think it would get you an increased readership.
Kinda like waiter rant: http://www.waiterrant.net/

Funny you should say that, Facce, since I've been thinking about adding some general comment posts to the site for the past week or so. Still working out exactly how I want to do it, but hopefully, it'll add a bit more personality to the site, as well as complement the review content that I'll continue to provide.
I don't, however, think it'll be too much like www.waiterrant.net, considering that very few interesting things happen during my nights at screenings (aside from the fight that broke out at The Ring 2 screening, but that's a story for another post....)

Well you could do a FAQ, such as:
* What's it like to be a film critic?
* How many movies do you see in an average week?
* Do you ever get tired of it?
* Who's Kurt Cobain?

Yeah, a FAQ ain't a bad idea. May do that once I start on the new blogging stuff...
