First review OF Sir Critic

By Eric Robinette | Monday, March 13, 2006, 12:29 AM

While Googling on the web last night, I was surprised to find that my little blog, which is only a week old, has been reviewed for the first time. (Scroll about 3/4ths down. Warning to sensitive eyes: profanity abounds.)

The site in question is a New York film scene-centered blog on Movie City News, a very informative if occasionally too snarky index of various links to movie news all around the web.

I’ll let you all dope out what exactly his assessment means, but I’m intrigued by this comment: “General Tone: Folksy Midwestern twang. Also, tedium.”

So I have a folksy, Midwestern twang, do I? Interesting. I’ve been told before that I have a Southern drawl when I talk, but I didn’t think that was conveyed through my typing too. Anybody care to tell me where they think the “twang” is in my writing?

As for that “tedium” comment, well — I could pretend that refers to my reactions to those sleep-inducing montagezzzz during the Oscars. Or it might be your typical “big-city boy thumbs his nose at red-headed country kid” vibe — never mind that my hair’s not red, and when it comes to city versus country, I’ll take the city, thank you very much. I’m with Woody Allen in that I don’t care to sleep on the ground with spiders the size of Buicks.

In any event, I thank The Reeler for taking a look at my new little venture here, even if he wasn’t altogether impressed. I can take it. But I still think The Hulk’s not as bad as everyone says it is. So there, puny blogger!

Everyone knows knights are known for their midwestern twang, right?

Eric IS right about the Hulk, by the way. It should have been nominated (heck, should have won) for its amazing editing.

Well, The Reeler chose me for best reader comment. I’d like to thank Eric for the forum, my wife and kids for their support, my mom and dad…
