And now for something completely different

By on April 15th, 2011 In Social Media

Over the weekend I launched a new blog that has absolutely nothing to do with PR, social media and marketing. Sure, I’m passionate about these subjects, which is why I have been blogging about them for the past four years. But I wanted an outlet for my other passions, and that’s the premise behind Days of Speed & Slow Time Mondays.

Through this blog I’ll be sharing my thoughts on movies, music and literature…and perhaps some other similar topics. I may provide a review, or perhaps just a quick mention of something I’d like to pass along. I’ll do my best to provide links to the things I blog about so you can get more information, and when I can I’ll embed a song or a clip as well. I hope you’ll offer your opinions too, since I get most of my best recommendations from my friends who also like movies, music and books. And of course, whether you agree or disagree with me, I hope you’ll feel free to tell me what’s on your mind.

The big hook is that beginning this weekend I will be watching and reviewing in order, all of AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies! If you are a film fan you might find this interesting.

So, I invite you over to take a look and please consider bookmarking the site or even better signing up for the e-mail subscription. And if you have friends who share my passion for movies, music and literature by all means send them a link!

Looking forward to catching up on your new venture, Len.

Our family embarked on a project to watch the top 100 movies of all time in 2010. We made it through 60 — some really great; some that made us want to claw our eyeballs out. (One we returned to Netflix unwatched after three weeks — we were so burned out on French films, we couldn’t bear to see another.)

Who knows? You may just inspire us to finish our list…

Kindred spirit, Len. I can’t wait to follow your new blog, as I recently started something similar. My Words•Music•Village blog at anvidean.com covers entertaining topics like books, coffee/tea shops and music, but it doesn’t include movies. SO now I have a place to go to discuss my other huge interest. Thanks for creating yet another valuable resource for us to enjoy!

Looking forward to it Len. I went through the AFI list a couple years ago when I was seeking movies I’d never seen to take with me to the desert kingdom. Over the past year I’ve managed to catch up on movies I’m almost embarrassed to say I’d never seen, or seen all the way through — Virginia Woolf, East of Eden, Laura, Medium Cool, for example.

I get to see semi-licit copies of some of the newer releases now (“Black Swan”) but it’s nice to have someone giving a nod to top movies to save us the trouble of downloading another “Tom Horn”
