I have a strong passion for the typical things that most people are interested in such as books, movies, music, podcasts, etc. But my love seems to be deeper than most people, you see, ever since I was a child I wanted to be just like Roger Ebert. Which as many people can imagine might be a bit weird since why would a 10 year old girl want to be a weird, hyper critical old man?

This love for me came from the power he seemed to exude, people would see movies he said were great and pass on movies that he deemed inferior, it may be an exaggeration to say that movies lived and died by his words but I just really enjoy that phrase and wanted to use it here. I enjoyed the sense that somebody somewhere would see my writings and be like “hey this girl makes sense and wrote it in an uncomplicated, down-to-earth humanistic way. I don’t like all the fancy technical movie biz jargon that most big time critics use now-a-days, I wanted to be (and still do if I allow myself to dream) that singular voice who just is straight up with people about the movies and doesn’t pull punches, someone that people would listen to because they trust that I’m a straight shooter.

So this is just my first little introduction and I’m hoping to keep up here and maybe somebody will read what I write, if not at least I’ve tried and I’ve put myself out there, and honestly there’s nothing more I can do. Cheers.
