"The time has come", the Walrus said "To talk of many things..."

Points to anyone that can complete the quote above. Is the above quote pretentious? Absolutely. Evocative? Somewhat. Pointless? Not entirely. But I do feel like a complete fucking tool writing a blog introduction. As should anyone intent on writing one, because when I list what this blog is going to cover it makes me sound like one of those writer-y douche bags who lists esoterica in order to intimidate potential readers. So in order to keep the douche level to a minimum, I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This blog is going to shamelessly ape Jim Emerson's "Scanners" blog insofar as the theme is going to be basically the same: the blog is going to be primarily about critical thought, but the occasional personal rantings may make their way in to it, hence the "Confessions" title. The primary form of criticism I'm interested in is film criticism, although music, literature, television, general pop culture, and whatever else I find worth mulling over. So, dear readers - God, I despise Jane Eyre! - I hope you'll enjoy and ocassionally comment, because there's nothing I enjoy more than lively discussion!
