Other Sides to the Conversation: Week of January 28th

Well, with Oscar noms out, there's not a whole lot of varied content flying around the blogosphere as of now. It's all "nomination this" and "snub that", and "oh look, here's the first Anne Hathaway/James Franco promo."



Actually, that's pretty funny! I really hope Franco does that if there is a wardrobe malfunction. Anyway, here are some things upon which you can click which will take to you to new things which you can read.

Hatter looks back on 2010 in still frames, giving out his favorite still images of the year.

James saw The Way Back, and thought it was pretty swell.

I'd be remiss if I didn't have an Oscar thoughts post for this week, so here are Peter's thoughts.

Andrew's been going through his Encore Awards for 2010. Here are his nominations and winners for Best Opening.

Before I leave you, I just want to remind you that The 1st Annual Snubbies have commenced, and if you have not voted, you totally should. The winners will be announced on Feb. 28th, the day after the Oscars, so you have plenty of time. Come on! Plenty of underrepresented films are given their just deserves. What's not to like?

Cya around the Black Hole folks.

Other Sides of the Conversation: Week of January 21

All sorts of madness going down right about now. Golden Globes, and my esteemed lack of interest. Term starts up in a few days, so the amount of posts may go down, but I hope not. Oh, you may notice the new comment thing. That's Disqus, and it's awesome. Get it if you don't have it! The new year is full swing and people are, more or less, back on their usual routines.

Anyway...

Here are some things upon which you click, which will take you to new things, upon which you can read. Enjoy.

Vancetastic takes a look at why a badass like Samuel L. Jackson never gets laid on screen.

Kai lists off the reasons why he is Marvel.

Univarn's Life gets a bit crazy and existential.

Andrew looks at how Oscar is blown out of proportion.

And another thing...

You may have noticed a new tab below the "Best Of What's Around" one, titled "Blogs About Other Things, Written By Other Friends, Which You Should All Totally Go To Because I Say So". Bit of a mouthful, but I like it! Those links are to blogs that friends of mine on the outside of the filmic universe keep. They are really good, and some of them are just starting out, and would appreciate some love. Just a thought...
