Strictly from a personal point of view, this has been an interesting challenge.
And ‘challenge’ has certainly been the right word.
In the writing, I have enjoyed experimenting with the narrative ‘voice’, and using cross-styles.
Reviewing films that were unwatchable rubbish alongside films that would be on the Top Hundred list of most people, has been interesting.
Finding the time, and originality needed, to make a review worth reading has been another part of the challenge.
And poor old Barry Norman dying, part-way through, almost seemed like an omen.
No, not Barry Cryer, as the Daily Fail put it:
This one. The real one:
I got a couple of tips from Young Masher, that have been added to my ‘watchlist’.
And Kennamatic gave us his view of the view of a couple of films worth looking at.
But it was a challenge.
And no, I wouldn’t do it again.
Thank you to my two co-conspirators for their support along the way.
But I’m out.
Yeah, next year we want something a bit easier, please.
I failed miserably – to be honest, I thought you were going to fail as well, but you’re obviously a strong finisher.
And did the Daily Mail really mistake Norman for Cryer? Ha ha!!!!
