By Popular Demand

Hello.  My name is David.  I am not a Big Shot Critic.  But I have taken on the name "Big Shot Critic" for this blog (and my twitter account) because it reveals the subject matter and is appropriately snooty as a name.  I wanted something with a slight air of obnoxious-ness.  Because that is how I am.  :)

Just about all of my friends and family know I have a penchant for knowing about what is going on in the film world, and some of them (that's you, Josh) have more or less insisted that I start a blog because they like the bits of movie news I post on other sites.  And, more importantly, because a blog just might be the right outlet for something like this.  With a blog I'm not limited to 140 characters (as with my other outlet).  And with a blog I can possibly reach my audience more effectively and even create a following.

Imagine that!  People who know what I'm talking about when I compare one of Joe Carnahan's once-potential future projects to "Groundhog Day!"

Beyond all that, I did, in fact, already kinda want to start this blog.  I've had this blogspot name reserved for more than two months now.  I have a passion for this stuff.  And putting it into words is good for the soul, or something, probably.

So as long as this blog is gonna happen I'm gonna set down some ground rules.  Like a mission statement almost, except it's not meant to make you care.

1. I am opinionated.  This is my blog.  I think you know what that means.

2. I will likely mostly post about stuff I care about.  But if you want to hear my opinion on something I don't post about just leave a comment somewhere.  I'll look into it.

3. Any comments I don't want on my blog I will delete.  Harsh, rude, or inappropriate language are some examples of stuff I don't want in comments on this blog.

I think that about covers it!  These days there is an endless stream of movie news and I do not have an endless supply of time to post about it all.  But I will do my best.

      The one.  The only.  Big Shot Critic
