I'm very happy about the people I've met online and in person through my blog. I love all the comments and e-mails I've gotten. I have also loved seeing others start their own classic film blogs. This blog has really grown and I'm happy with everything I've been able to put into it.
I'm not sure what is in store for the future of this blog; whether I will continue it at the same pace, at a slower pace or even at all. Looking back though at the 2 years I am very happy that on that fateful day in 2007, I decided that all the words I had building up inside me about my love for classic movies could finally get a portal to be released into the world.
Here are some highlights of the past 2 years of blogging:
Sexiest Scenes in Film History ~ I still get lots of wayward Google searches land people here. I wish I could have continued the series, but I'm glad I at least got a few posts up.
Breaking the Code Boxed Set ~ I took a school project and tied it in with my blog. That's dedication.
Elia Kazan & You Otto See It ~ To prepare for Kevin's lectures on Kazan and Preminger, I wrote reviews for several films.
Partying Norma Shearer Style ~ I dressed up as Norma for Kevin's 30th Birthday party and he dressed up as James Dean!
I Saw Mickey Rooney with my Own Two Eyes ~ Seeing the legend in person.
The Friend Dynamic ~ I got a lot of compliments on this one. I dissect the dynamic of watching films with friends.
Work: My Classic Film Nest ~ Photographic tour of my classic film paraphenalia at work. Jonas @ All Talking! All Singing! All Dancing! starts his blog.
Brattle & Harvard Film Archive Posts ~ Wonderful memories
Out of the Past (1947) by the Numbers ~ Just happens to be my favorite post. Such a fun project!
Good Heavens ~ I try to make sense of all of those movies with "Heaven" in the title.
Norma Shearer Week ~ A whole week devoted to my favorite actress. It's the biggest project that I have taken on and the results made me very happy.
Hot Toddy/Hot Chick ~ Celebrating the best in hotness.
Guest Blogger Months ~ This one is already a success and it's only half-way through the month!
If you would like to tell me what your favorite post or series was on my blog, I'd love to hear from you! (Not asking for praise, but would love to hear feedback for sure).
And a special thank you to Frank who indirectly inspired me to start writing a blog. He doesn't know this and I'm sure will be surprised to find out that he was the impetus for Out of the Past!
