All of this is to say that despite a lengthy absence, I'm hoping to get back at this blog as soon as possible and hopefully expand it into something new and more ambitious in the next little while.

There may be less of a focus on the new theatrical releases because frankly it's a lot trickier for me to keep up with the schedule these days, but I do hope to keep content coming at a regular clip, if not as frequent as it was before.
