Yes, like so many other's out there, I've jumped on the blog bandwagon. I blame my buddy Roby (if only because it was his blog that inspired me to create one of my own). My first thought, naturally, when I decided that starting a blog of my own might be fun, was just what the hell could I write about?! Lord knows my life is so mind-numbingly boring that I couldn't imagine anyone taking an interest in reading about it. So I turned to my greatest passion in life -- movies. Movies take up a large amount of my time and energy (and sadly entirely too much of my monthly paycheck), so why not write about them? Not that anyone is likely to care what I think about movies, but hey, that hasn't stopped anybody else out there in Internet-land, now has it?
Firstly, for those occasional surfers (rare as they're likely to be) who don't already know me, don't pay too much attention to the "Evil Ryan" moniker. I'm actually a nice guy (or so I've been told). The nickname is one used mostly by my co-workers (something to do with my penchant for wearing black and my interests in vampires and goth music). And like most nicknames, once it caught on, everyone was using it whether I liked it or not, so I figured I might as well embrace it and have fun with it, since there was no point fighting it.
I'm sure most of you know a guy (or gal) like me -- goes to the theater pretty much every weekend year round to catch a new flick, faithfully stops by Best Buy every Tuesday to check out the new DVD releases (though sadly finances prevent me from buying nearly as many of those new releases as I would like), and considers imdb.com to be the holy grail of Internet sites.
So what can you expect from this particular blog? Well, mostly my opinions about movies, both at the theater and on DVD, along with related commentary about such things as movie critics (and how stupid most of them are), movie studios, and any other general movie-related trivia or commentary that comes to mind. I welcome all comments, criticisms, etc. that anyone feels like posting (I might not pay any attention to them, but you're welcome to post them). Well, that's about all for my first post. Expect more soon (with both Ocean's 12 and Blade: Trinity opening next weekend, I'm sure I'll have plenty to say next weekend, if nothing comes to mind between now and then).
