What is the main focus of your site?
To make sure every movie gets its chance to shine, good or bad. Obviously, I don't expect to watch every single movie, but if there's a "bad" or "poorly made" movie, I'm not going to ignore it. The Room gets just as much time in the spotlight on my site as, say, Titanic (both of which I've written about). I don't like to discriminate. My initial goal was to watch willingly anything that anyone submitted or suggested and write about it with the intention of having a discussion, but I've tweaked the purpose a little since I don't get very many readers.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I blog for myself because I enjoy watching movies and I enjoy writing about them. I don't get very many viewers per day (between 20-30), but making money or getting a lot of traffic isn't a concern for me. I considered myself a movie slut even before I was blogging. Now that I have a blog, I'm just a movie whore because now I get something out of it. Having a blog gives me a goal for my movie-watching, and although I like to share my movie opinions with the world, it isn't a professional aspiration of mine. I have more of a therapeutic relationship with my blog than anything else.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
I encourage comments and discussions. I love hearing what other people think about movies that I've spotlighted. I'd like it to be interactive because movie watching is a social experience. I'd really prefer for people to have massive orgies while reading my blog. Why shouldn't my blog be a social, sexual experience the same way that watching a really awesome movie can be?
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I've been blogging since the beginning of August, so 3 months. I try to update every day, but most of the time my updates come every other day.
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Marie Antoinette
Braindead (Dead Alive)
Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice
How did you hear about the LAMB?
I heard about it through Bloggeries.
Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that's not listed above.
I like to tell it as it is and use idioms that are part of spoken language, but I also believe in using correct grammar. This is writing, after all. Oh, and I f**king cuss A LOT. It's sort of a bad habit of mine. Or an awesome one, however you like to look at it. But then again, I am a whore to watching movies, so why shouldn't I be blunt and dirty?
