The Arrival

Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking:

Hey, ASS, we can already read your blather at a half-dozen websites, LiveJournal AND freakin' MySpace. How many fora do your inane ravings actually need?

And that's a fair question. But I've never had what I consider to be my own "personal" blog. LJ comes close, but at that site I'm basically just talking to the same two-dozen (very awesome) people, but those folks are loyal enough to add an extra RSS feed for lil old me.

I plan to update regularly and use this blog as a "catch-all" for alllll the work I do at the websites listed on your left. By doing this I hope to get an extra 9 to 14 hits on my various reviews, articles, festival reports, and random nerd-droplets. So if you NEED to bookmark only one Scott Weinberg spot (and frankly, you needn't), then this is the one to flag.

To those who don't know me, here's a simple recap: I am a pathetic movie nerd who writes for a whole bunch of excellent websites. I write lots of reviews, report tons of geeky movie news, visit several film festivals a year, and spend most of my hours with a DVD remote in my hand. Over the (numerous) years on the job, I've spent two years on the OFCS Governing Committee, made tons of great friends in the critic / filmmaking / nerd industry, and seen more movies than you'll probably see during the course of your natural life. (Zombies don't count.) Hmm, what else? I'm from Philadelphia (which is Latin for "Awesomus Citius") and have recently adopted Austin as my official home away from home.

Now I'm off to make this blog look all cool and stuff.
