Yes, hypothetical reader who cares so much to be disappointed, outside of Erin's review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, there has been nothing done on this blog. No "Dispatches from the Popcorn Stadium", nothing about the return of Dan Harmon to Community*, nothing at all. I'm not going to sit here and spin or deny the facts.
Unlike other times, the unanticipated break was caused by a good reason. Turns out that what I thought was an annual cold was actually double pneumonia, which resulted in me being hospitalized for eight days. On top of that, I've spent the last week continuing the recover, part of a process that is going to take several more weeks before I'm fulling back to 100% strength. Only now do I feel like doing any writing, and that is just to let you know why I haven't done any writing.
It's safe to say that my Favorite Movies of 2013 feature will be greatly pared down, if I do it at all. I'm giving myself an extra week to see films (Jan 19 instead of Jan 12), and will likely just put together a 11-25 list and a 1-10 list, with short paragraphs for each film. It's not as much as I had hoped to write, but it is about all I can do at this time.
I'm not going to promise anything, but I might get "Dispatches from the Popcorn Stadium" posts out for Anchorman 2 and American Hustle, the last two movies I saw in the theater before the dark iron curtain of sickness descended. And who knows, maybe I'll throw in some TV as well.
*Short opinion after watching the first two episodes: It's good the foul-mouthed asshole's back in charge, and I'm interested to see where this season goes.
