Yup 2 posts in one day. Maybe going for 3.
Look reader, I don't know why you are here or how you got here (from my view count I don't even think you are here) but I want you to tell your friends about me. Get me noticed as it were. This is not for me but a truly selfless act....
I want to tell as many people as I can about The Cinema Snob.
He's a character created and portrayed by Brad Jones in a series of review videos that got him banned from Youtube so he started his own site - http://www.thecinemasnob.com/.
I stumbled across him in passing and immediately became hooked. I watched all his videos in one day and rewatched them recently. He scrapes the bottom of the barrel in cinema and vents his anger and frustration at them for 6 to 10 minutes a video. The catch is, unlike other internet reviewers, the films he watches are never mainstream - they are the worst kind of cheap crap and he skewers them brilliantly.
I recently emailed Brad and poured praise all over his genius. Within a day he fired back a response (and not a one word short response) which cemented him as a great guy and one of the most knowledgable film guys out there.
I have a common nitpick with reviewers - they find it too easy to leap onto a bandwagon. Case in point: Gigli (I am so In Defence Of Drossing this movie) which wasn't the cinematic face rape everyone made out. The Indiana Jones 4 debacle is another - a good film which stands up well as entertaining, fun and inkeeping with the rest of the films (if anything Last Crusade is the worst).
So I mentioned it and, whereas I won't mention his reply, he GOT exactly what my own thoughts on the film were.
The Cinema Snob is almost what I set out to do with this blog but 100 times better.
So, in closing, GO check out The Cinema Snob. If you love film you owe it to yourself to.
Also I want Brad Jones to be my best friend. Just saying.
