The Angry Dome takes a step into the well-known

Clearly, I have no idea about the kind of focus this blog should have, although a consistent theme of anger has been throughout. I've ranted on everything from my idiotic generation to how much "higher" education is bullshit to politics... to well, everything that ever slightly caused me a few moments to fester a rant in my mind, mostly on my walk home from University/work/wherever the hell I happened to be. But alas, it never found the niche I wanted... my one and a half year experiment lead me to nowhere I really wanted to be, blog-tastic wise. I mean sure, there were some good rants here and there, but for anyone that actually read my blog religiously (see: nobody), there was 4-to-1 disappointment to internet justice ratio of satisfaction.

So after this.. er.. 14? 13? 15? month whoring of senseless society hate, I must alas bid adios to this blog...

and say hello to the new one that will be taking it's place.

Yes, I'm not deleting this blog, nor editing anything I said; rather, just pretending that it was never there and stumbling blindly to my new horizon of theme-related ramblings on one of basically two things I know a shit-ton about: Films (The other being baseball, which isn't worth blogging about since I don't overanalyze that).

Yes, Films.

Allow me to explain. I'm a film major - not the kind that makes films (well, not specifically), but the jackass that analyzes them until he hates them - and sadly, reads way more into films then the average person. And now, the only conceivable use I can find for the 25 grand I'm throwing away for this pointless degree is to pass on my analytical expertise, for free, obviously, cause it's not like anyone would pay for that. Unless you're Ebert. And you're not.

Luckily for you, I watch an absolute ton of movies. I'm way more of a man for contemporary (see: "recent", post-my birthdate) cinema, and my personal collection spans 400+ movies, most from the last 3 years. I'll do my best to offer my opinions on every film I see, which will be in totally unrandom order, some probably long-since released.

I'm a big fan of psychological thrillers, movies such as anything made by M. Night and Christopher Nolan. Course, I'll watch anything, including would-be crappy romantic comedies. I'll watch anything. Seriously. Except porn. No, even porn. For educational purposes.. yes...

Most importantly, I also watch a ton of small, low-budget flicks that most people probably haven't heard of (Such as Brick, Cube Zero, etc).

I haven't decided how I'll rant about these movies yet, although I'm sure anger will come into play a lot. And rest assured, the bigger the budget, the bigger my expectations will be.

You're in good hands now, people.

Now do my a favour and forget everything I've ever posted before this.

Oh, before I forget: Yes, I'll probably have spoilers. But you'll be well informed.

Your shockingly poor grammar notwithstanding, the blogotesseract would likely crumble without your quotidian bitching. So please, sir, enlighten the unwashed masses with your insipid opinions on cinematic fare. We need you.

Ferris Bueller, you're my hero.
