Christian can't seem to get away from Burbank, California. Born and raised there, then lured back after college, he has spent most of his time screenwriting and slummin' for The Man. For variety's sake, he catches a few films when he can and writes about the cinema like some hi-falutin' Rex Reed type (yawn!) who simply can't get enough of himself. When he's not doing any of that, he harasses his girlfriend with Scrabulous games so she can't do her illustration and animation work. She resents him for this (well, not really), so he blogs for Chud to stay outta trouble, just like Robocop said he should.
Okay, so... I started off well and then disappeared... I know, it's not very cool in the blogosphere to leave off for several days without a post, but lately my life's been all about moving and stressing... In particular moving my girlfriend into my small apartment in Burbank.
Moving is hardly a fun experience and we're both stressing about it: Will this work? Will it change our relationship in good ways or bad? Will we split chores, bills, etc. ad absurdum. Even thinking about it logistically and rationally has made us both simpering messes at the mercy of moving boxes, U-Haul and the rising cost of living. But we saunter on, and I'm happy to say that the move is nearly done and I'm about to post a number of blogs that will be more oriented toward the cinema... I'm hoping to include the following in the next couple of weeks with a number of postings on:

I'm hoping to include the following in the next couple of weeks with a number of postings on:
- A Defense of Terry Gilliam's Tideland
- A Neglected Film Musing on Steven De Jarnatt's Miracle Mile
- A Neglected Film Musing on William Girdler's The Manitou
- A Defense of George A. Romero's recent Diary of the Dead
- and many, many more to come.
