How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Embrace Turning 30


Greetings, Program!

Today is my official "launch day," and since I've put the word out on the street about this site I didn't want the front page to be totally blank.  To get the full lowdown on what this thing is all about, give the Prologue a read.  

Tomorrow night I'm kicking off my screening schedule with my first movie, the original Planet Of The Apes.  Since it'll be an evening viewing, I plan to post my thoughts the following day.  This will probably be par for the course from this point on, as most of my screenings will be at night.  I've got the first month's worth of movies roughly mapped out, but I also want to maintain some flexibility in case new screening opportunities present themselves along the way.

In the meantime, enjoy the above picture of George C. Scott covered in whipped cream after the infamous deleted pie fight scene from one of my very favorite movies, Dr. Strangelove.  (We'll be exploring a few Kubrick gems later on down the road.)

Let's do this thing.
