What is the main focus of your site?
WebSnacker simply acts as a index letting people discover new stuff, hear fresh music and see amazing movies usually not covered by the mainstream media. An opportunity to experience the world in a different perspective.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
Have you ever seen the movie - Local Hero? The reason why I ask is because it happens to be one of my most favorites. It was released in 1983, stars Burt Lancaster and Peter Reigert and wasn’t a big hit at the box office. It just did OK but it’s an awesome feel-good movie with a stellar soundtrack by Mark Knopfler that definitely needs to be seen and enjoyed, even if its 2010. Same is the case of That Night which came out in 1992. Based on the Alice McDermott novel, it’s a romantic drama set in 1961 starring poster boy C. Thomas Howell, Juliette Lewis, Helen Shaver and a very young Eliza Dushku. Chances are, if a friend of yours didn’t tell you about these 2 movies or if you missed them on the TV or theaters, you might never have heard about them. But, now you have!!
The same logic would apply to Music stars too. So many good bands, so many good artists but miss a beat and you never know they exist.
Letting you discover cine gems like Local Hero or That Night or a aural delight like Skye Edwards and perhaps hundreds of similar great movies, great bands and fantastic musicians is pretty much why I blog about Music and Cinema. And since many of them don't get their fair dose of spotlight, whats the point in writing about them when you cant actually view or hear them? Besides, my posts are thank you notes to anonymous bloggers and file-sharers who introduced me to some of the best movies I ever saw and some of the best bands that ever rocked on earth. A way of giving back.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
Of course an interactive community no doubt but I would also like to convey my take on why a particular movie is good or bad.
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
Well, I have been blogging since 2005 and had a popular music blog that Google banned. Websnacker is my current avatar and I post at least once a week or more.
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Brazil, Memento, Apocalypse Now
