Sorry if this comment isn't concerning your oscar post, but I used to read your reviews over the years and I'm really curious why you stopped all of a sudden. Care to enlighten me?

After doing it for a decade I was just starting to feel burned out on it and needed a break.

J3e said...

That makes sense. Honestly I'm relieved that you're alive. I always figured something bad happened to you. After all, you always posted a lot about the oscars and for you to leave during the middle of oscar season left me feeling unwell. So, I'm glad you're alive and well. Lots of luck to you!

Norma Desmond said...

Sorry for freaking you out!

So will you ever return to reviewing films..?
Glad you are okay. I am burned out currently. So understand what you went through. Take care
