What is the main focus of your site?
The main focus of my site is to draw attention to a variety of movies through lists, analysis, commentary on films past and present, revisiting critical decisions and film awards, paying tribute to the best in the film industry, and paying homage to unsung films that didn't get their due credit.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I would love to reach a large audience with my blog (and I believe I have a growing one already). I'm very passionate about film and have been since growing up memorizing the Oscar winners and recording the telecast to watch repeatedly. So what I hope to get out of the blog is an outlet to express my love of movies and to start conversations with other bloggers and readers about movies that have also changed their lives for better or worse.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
I definitely prefer an interactive community. Since I started getting more readers at my blog and have swapped comments with fellow bloggers, I've found some kindred spirits out there who have similar tastes (and who have opposite tastes) that are great to hear about. I'm much more of a conversation starter than a conversation tyrant.
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I started seriously committing to my blog last summer as a means to maintain my interest in my career while I am stuck freelancing (I'm currently a journalist without a field-related job, go figure), and I update my blog very often. I would say I average 2-3 posts per day, and I also link my blog to my Facebook page, I have an official Twitter specifically for the blog, and I link to a related Web site that specifically deals with my personal film awards that I've assembled annually since 1995.
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
My all-time favorite is Bringing Up Baby. My number two may make me a boring traditionalist, but it's The Godfather. And my number three is partially a sentimental favorite - Beauty and the Beast.
How did you hear about the LAMB?
I saw links to the blog/site on more than one of my blogger friends' blogrolls.
Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that's not listed above.
None.
