Things That Are Not Movies

This post, Things That Are Not Movies, was originally published on the candler blog on March 03, 2016 at 02:25PM. Please consider reading it there because I really want you to read my website. — A quick rundown of things that are not movies, as there has been some confusion of late: Trailers for movies are not movies Posters for movies are not movies Promotional materials are not movies Exclusive clips are not movies

More on Day One 2, Movies Watched and Cool New Stuff

This post, More on Day One 2, Movies Watched and Cool New Stuff, was originally published on the candler blog on February 12, 2016 at 02:57PM. Please consider reading it there because I really want you to read my website. — It’s been a week since my last entry here on the candler blog, so I thought I’d give a brief update on the week that was. Plugging Away At Day One 2 Given how much time I devoted to questioning some of the new features in Day One 2, one might get the impression I gave…

What I’ve Been Watching (And How)

This post, What I’ve Been Watching (And How), was originally published on the candler blog on February 05, 2016 at 02:06PM. Please consider reading it there because I really want you to read my website. — We’re thirty-six days into 2016 and I’m yet to see a single film released this year. That doesn’t bode too well for my plan to see more new releases than I saw in 2015. The good news is that I’ve been watching older films. Here’s how I’m doing so far:

Day One 2: A Big Update

This post, Day One 2: A Big Update, was originally published on the candler blog on February 04, 2016 at 02:36PM. Please consider reading it there because I really want you to read my website. — Day One has long been a favorite app of mine, even if it fell out of regular use for me. Over the years1 I’ve tried using it a few different ways. Sometimes it’s a real diary (as in I hope no one ever reads it), other times it’s a little…

Reading More Than One Book at Once (This is New to Me)

This post, Reading More Than One Book at Once (This is New to Me), was originally published on the candler blog on February 02, 2016 at 10:55AM. Please consider reading it there because I really want you to read my website. — I’ve only ever been able to reliably read one book at a time. If ever I tried to read more than one, they had to be wildly different. One fiction and one non-fiction could work.

Books I Read in 2015

This post, Books I Read in 2015, was originally published on the candler blog on January 29, 2016 at 11:05AM. Please consider reading it there because I really want you to read my website. — Now that I finally got around to sharing all the new films I watched last year, I thought I’d share all the books I read in 2015. This is somewhat influenced by Justin Blanton’s annual tradition of posting the books he’s read, though I don’t quite have the interest in…

My Favorite Films of 2015

This post, My Favorite Films of 2015, was originally published on the candler blog on January 27, 2016 at 11:19AM. Please consider reading it there because I really want you to read my website. Who says you have to get your year-end list published in a timely fashion? We may be nearing February, but why not take a moment to look back on 2015. Initially I resisted doing a year-end wrap up because I felt I hadn’t seen enough new films last year. For…

Write Anywhere But

This post, Write Anywhere But…, was originally published on the candler blog on January 21, 2016 at 10:54AM. Please consider reading it there because I really want you to read my website. Dave Winer makes a strong case against Medium in his brief and aptly titled post, “Anywhere but Medium.” When you give in to the default, and just go ahead and post to Medium, you’re stifling the open web. …

I Made a Slack for Film Twitter

If you know that Film Twitter exists, you’re probably in it, or so they say. It’s a thing, to be sure. I wrote about it (and all this) earlier today on the candler blog. The short of it: I made a Slack for Film Twitter, a place to discuss movies publicly, in private. I have no idea if this will work. I have no idea is this is even an idea, or a good one at that. But now it’s a thing. And I’m happy about it.
