It’s been a long time coming

Okay – it’s been a long time coming, but here’s why after much debate and inner turmoil Popcorn taxi has decided to do a regular blog: my business partner is just such a pushy bastard I had to do it.

Blogs are the way of the future (he assured me) much like electric cars, rampant vegetarianism (which he is also) and Brett Ratner making more movies; it’s just a reminder that the world can become more beige than the interior of Nick Scali’s loungeroom. That is to say – who cares about blogs?

Surprisingly I discovered, after the smallest amount of research involving Google and some bloke from Greenpeace outside my building who gave me a light (no, the irony was not lost on me) that indeed there were around 112.8 million of the self-serving little buggers as of 2008. Jesus!?

I guess it’s the nature of ‘what to say’, ‘how to say it’ and ‘why do you care, anyways?’ that’s been the most terrifying – and after trawling through blogs that regurgitate the bleedin’ obvious, or worse still spray rampant opinions from the minds of luddites… it’s again I confess I’m not too comfortable at simply sprouting shit for the sake of it.

So here’s what we’ll try to do instead;

• Make sure we’re never boring – a true sin if ever there was one.
• Inform our wondrous followers with all manner of ephemera that relates to the colorfully strange world of film
• Promise to entertain you gorgeous creatures to the point of ecstasy *
• Stimulate your knowledge and challenge your views
• Ultimately try and share our passion for this crazy game called “The film biz”

That’s it – we’re not going to do anything else!

* We mean the emotive response, not the illegal substance preferred by people related to certain Political parties…
