The real tragedy is that your act is just boring and old…

For those of you still reading this blog is been pretty clear that there has been a content draught for the last few months. Yet again – and it was entirely my fault. There are many reasons for this – for example, I did not realize how physically exhausting working  full-time again would be. But these are just exuses. I dropped the ball – yet again.

So, yet again, I’m going to try and pick up the pieces. My goal is to have at least one item up here every weekday – even if it’s just a small submitted without comment or linkblogging piece. The aim is to start small and move on from there.

As always we will see where it goes.

Gone so soon?

I was doing so well with my return to blogging only to undo it all  by going out of the country.

Posting will resume next, next Tuesday.

In case you missed it… (Omnibus Winter 2009 edition)

Basically I pretty much didn’t blog for like three months, hence I’m pretty far behind on basic site maintenance stuff. Like making up these “In case you missed it” features. Massive fail on my part. Anyway.

So to make up for things, below is a sampling of the best of the best from Blurred Productions for 2009 to this point:

February:

• Doom (or could a person be more wrong?)
• On the Fringe of quality…
• “I’m just deeply disappointed that once again we may have to settle for the lesser of two evils.”
• Bond, James Bond: (The Other) Casino Royale – Diamonds Are Forever
• Like the lost catacombs of Eygpt, only god knows where we stuck it…

March

• My literal first reading of Watchmen…
• The politics of watching…
• Hurm…

April

• What I’m Watching: The Office – Chuck
• “These pictures which hint that he’s gay”…
• Bit of the old ultra-violence

In case you missed it… (January 2009)

The best of the best from last month:

• “He wised the best for us all”…
• “Now such a wonder now that I’ve bound you with your magic lasso…”
• Stars in my eyes…. (comments/debate!)
• Superman: Beyond confusing
• Super-women in bondage…
• Bond, James Bond: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
• 2008 – The Year in Music

Who watches etc. etc…

I have been remiss in not posting this.

Next Friday we’ll be starting up our second discussion seminar which I think should run until the ides of March. The seminar will be on Watchmen (both the graphic novel and the movie). There’s a lot to talk about but (as per Tito) I’d like to focus on the politics and political themes of the work. I’m sure – considering 300 – that the Watchmen movie may have a very different political tone than Moore’s graphic novel.

Again, all Blurred Productions contributors are invited to particpate and we’d welcome any other bloggers to as well. Just comment here and we’ll link over to you.

Keeeping of the house…

So. Anybody got any good ideas as to what our next Discussion Seminar should be about?

In case you missed it… (December 2008)

This is another better late than never sort of thing. December was a pretty fantastic month for us content wise. Lot’s of great stuff from all of us.

Below is the best of the best from us for the end of 2008:

• Discussion Seminar: Dark Knight
• Bond, James Bond: Goldfinger - Thunderball – You Only Live Twice
• Sex, speech, gender…
  
• Darkseid’s Greatest Hits
• Top Five They  Might Be Giants Songs
• I’m tired. So very tired…
• Hell yeah he bench-pressed a coffin lid and 600 lbs. of loose dirt.

Return of the something-something…

Ok. I’m back from my usual early winter posting hiatus. Regular posting should resume tomorrow morning. Hope you didn’t miss me too much.

I really appreciate Dr. Brown and good old Psycholarry keeping things going where while I’ve been goofying off.

Sorry – once again – for my laziness.

Service interuption…

Just to note. I don’t think you’ll be seeing much from us until at least the week after New Years.

Now that I’ve posted this, I’m sure a ton of content will be forcoming.

Hope you all kick off 2009 in style.

In case you missed it… (Dark Knight Seminar)

I would mark our first attempt at a “Discussion Seminar” a – qualified – success. The main snag is how long it should be. Next time we do one of these (next month?) we’ll make it longer than just a week.

Here the posts involved in our discussion of “The Dark Knight”:

Starting Post

• The joke is on me, I think… (Smith Michaels)
• Bat-Mania! (Tito)
• “Wanna Know How I Got These Scars?” (Tito)
• Thesis and Antithesis… Synthesis… (Dr. Brown)
• One more thing – Dark Knight/Killing Joke (Psycholarry)

We still haven’t figured out what we should do for our next seminar. Any suggestions would be welcome.
