Dusting away the cobwebs

Yes, my likely imaginary readers, Remote Wanderings has been updated. Your RSS feeds would be pinged once again if I hadn't abandoned you in the year Ought-Seven and you had rightly deleted me in outrage over my disappearance.

Nah, I'm a realist. But the blog is back, as what I hope will be one of a few venues for my not-unique brand of pop culture musing. There will be a little spring cleaning, and most importantly, new content when life isn't getting in the way as it is so fond of doing.

The imminent arrival of Watchmen on the movie scene and its potential to be one of the genre touchstones for our generation (he said with hopeful reservation and foolish hyperbole) has galvanised me to get Remote Wanderings happening again, as have a few new ideas for different kinds of movie coverage, old and new. More on those as we get to them.

We'll inaugurate proceedings with something classy: a review of Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Although long since out of US cinemas, its recent opening here in Australia has inspired me to write a few words in its favour, which you'll see above. The inevitable Watchmen review will, thankfully, be somewhat more timely.

So settle back, add or re-add RW to your RSS doohickey, and enjoy some ramblings of the filmic and televisual variety.
