Blogger: (noun) white male between 16-45 who has no life

So I decided that THIS blog is my blog as a writer. I've got to get working on that book, and there will be some amazing post made here one day and I will say: "YES! There's the book idea."
In the meantime, it dawned on me that the one thing I had NOT planned to do here is post film reviews. Which is rather stupid in the sense that this is something I do compulsively: write film reviews. Since I've joined Facebook, I have reviewed every film I've seen. I decided that the smart thing to do, then, is start a film review blog. After all, my original career goal when I graduated college was to be a film critic.

I spent over an hour this morning trying out different clever names for my film review blog and every damn thing I tried was taken. I hopped on Google to see if this was really possible or if the blogspot people were just rejecting my lame puns. "Cinemaniac"? Taken. "The Moviegoer"? Taken. "Caught on Film"? Taken. Just before I desperately attempted "I like to Movie, Movie," I threw "On the Movie" out there. Taken. But at this point, I was spent. I threw my initials in front of it and now you can go to kconthemovie.blogspot.com and you'll find "...On the Movie." Sort of a bad pun, but I had had enough. If I spent any more time coming up with stupid blog names, I'd never get started.

Even worse, I am now disgusted by what appears to be far too many 16-45 year old white guys out there who have no lives and see themselves to be movie experts. Being "one of them," let me tell you, is no sought after thrill.

You can't blame me for wanting something clever. I imagined myself on Oprah one day, somehow cutting through the thick soup of online movie critics and rising to the top where when, one day, Oprah would need an expert opinion on some film and think of nobody better to call upon than...the "cinemaniac." (Cough!) The name had to be in some way catchy, just in case.

I'm not sure anyone's going to find "...On the Movie." Maybe I should have called it "Elements of Composition." Had I done that, I can vouch for the fact that at least 860 former students of mine would have had at least a vague idea of what to type in to find me. But for now, I'm "on the move...eee." Ugh. It's starting to sound lame.

If you want to read my movie reviews, you know where to look now. For everything else, I'll continue to be the Suburban Acrobat right here. "Suburban Acrobat." Suddenly, "...On the Movie" sounds okay.
