What I find most interesting about Web 2.0 applications (blogs, specifically) is the way that they give writers an instant outlet to the readers, and are capable of receiving instantaneous feedback as well. Our parents had "Letters to the Editor"... we have Facebook and blogs. There is perhaps no more accessible and socially relevant way for a writer to get his or her material out there and affecting the world. Blogs are also an ideal way for individuals with similar interests to follow each other and grow in their appreciation for common enthusiasms. With this blog, I hope to learn the basic functions of the blogger website- mess around with the tools so that I become proficient in using blogger. As a result, my other blog will look all the more professional with these experiences.
My mission with my other blog, Stoner at the Movies, is to provide reviews for and commentary upon the new movies that hit theaters every week. These discussions will come in a variety of formats, including journalistic reviews, in-depth film analysis entries, and video podcast quick-reviews.
I hope that by providing this content, I can advise my readers what movies are worth their skyrocketing ticket prices during these tough economic times. I also hope to foster the cinematic enthusiasms of my readers by interesting them in films that they may otherwise not have considered, or movies that passed them by without their knowledge.
