As you might have noticed, the H101 blog has expanded from a strictly Fool’s Views-based weekly wrap-up format to include individual posts about certain films. Hopefully this will not prove tedious for longtime readers – it was a format change I resisted for years, not wanting to clutter up the recaps or be a nuisance posting 5-6 times a day. But my experiences at Fantasia and BIFFF have taught me that the online audience is one seeking immediate gratification through a minimum of keystrokes – they want to read reactions to a certain movie as opposed to a certain movie fan’s ongoing journey, and be able to easily Google search it. And, as was pointed out to me at Fantasia, if the point of writing is to be read, it’s hard to be read when you can’t be found. Apparently, shocking as it might seem, no one is searching for “Fool’s Views” when they are deciding what to watch that night.
Therefore, while I will continue to post my weekly log, you will also be able to find individual postings of each week’s horror Views. Still haven’t decided whether it’s worth my while creating a new blog to showcase the civilian Views – I know I don’t want to clutter up my horror-centric column with a bevy of civilian posts. Still working that one out, but as you can see below, some weeks are lighter on the blood and beasts than others, so we should probably do something, right?
At any rate, we’re back with another go-round. Seems I was playing catch-up this time, covering only flicks from the past few years (including an array of current multiplex fare). Hopefully this won’t offend the history buffs too much – we’ve got plans to do some digging next time around, not to worry.
As always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.
Enjoy!
