Notice of Resurrection

The long-awaited and prophesied day has arrived–the day upon which all dead things shall be revivified and all old things renewed. And by all dead and old things, we mean this blog. Make all needful things ready.

In all seriousness, we sincerely apologize to all our fans Susan K. for being so negligent of our little piece of the online community. As some of you may know, the life of Chip Kincaid has been a turbulent one, involving sudden decisions to relocate across continents, experimentation in self-medication, and all sorts of exciting (though unmentionable) occurrences. But all that is behind us now, and we are ready to once again make our vital contribution to pseudo-intellectual film criticism.

In the spirit of delusional grandeur, we hereby announce the triumphant revival of WWM. Our legal department has also advised us to issue the following warning:

Attn: Uwe Boll, Nic Cage, Michael Bay, Miss Lohan, Benji Affleck, Kevin Costner, Paris Hilton, Alien Prince Xanadu aka Tom Cruise, Keanu, et al.

Oh ye perpetrators of cinematic crimes against humanity–ye who give birth to slimy, fetal reels of filth–be ye hereby warned. The authors of this site intend to expose the vulnerable truth of your uselessness. By reading this warning, you waive any rights to pursue redress for textual attacks, including slander, libel, and verbal evisceration. The long night of your tyrannic reign comes to an end, as a new dawn of accountability and intelligent critique emerges. May all cinephiles rejoice! Gird up your loins! The moviegoer lifestyle is vindicated!

Who knows what wonders await us all…

(Coming tomorrow: “Best Boy”, the story of a retarded cousin.)

The Manifesto

“We watch movies” is not just the title of this blog, but also a brief, but eloquent statement of fundamental truth. We really do watch movies… a lot of movies… pretty much all the time. In fact, it is actually kind of ridiculous how much time and money (or at least bandwidth) we spend watching movies.

Oh sure, we do other things. There are several things that we do that do not involve watching movies. For one, many things that we watch are not movies. We watch baseball, for example. And some TV shows, like Iron Chef and Speed Racer. Sometimes when we are home alone, we watch marathons of Project Runway, but that is a secret. Hell, we do some things that don’t involve “watching.” We play Halo. We eat stuff. But most of the time we watch things, and most of the time, it’s a movie.

Anyway, the point is, that we watch movies and we write about them. Then you visit this site and read what we have written. What you will find might be a review, a rant, a recommendation, or a reaction. Whatever it is, you will be smarter after reading it, and hopefully also better-looking. That is our purpose and that is our promise. Enjoy.
