Updates from the Tundra

As I write this, my home is surrounded by a foot of snow that has been here forever a week.  I'm nestled in my basement, Philadelphia Flyers hoodie providing most of the warmth with the glow of my monitor filling out the rest.

I'm sure you've noticed things at 100 Years have been slow. Make that anemic.  Okay, completely nonexistent.  There are a number of reasons for that. In order of importance, they are:

1. Spending time with my wife and four kids,
2. Spending more time on my actual job that pays the bills, and
3. The 1930s.

For those keeping score, I am up to 1932 (about to start 1933). It's taken me *** months to get from 1930 to 1933.  There are a number of reasons for that (see number 1 and 2 above), but a lot of it comes down to the 1930s kind of sucking.  After the experimentation and the inventiveness of the 1920s, I was jazzed for what the next decade would bring. But the reality is the introduction of sound forced movie technology back a couple of steps and turned every plot into a game of how many sounds can we squeeze into this film.  It's getting better, but I have not been anticipating each movie the way I used to.

So after a couple of months of soul-searching, here is where we are:

• I definitely want/need to keep going with the website.
• I plan on expanding the site to include observations about current film news and releases. This will be a bit of whatever strikes me.  I'm never going to be a movie news site and I'm not planning on becoming a new release review location either.
• The 100 Years project will remain a core component of what I am doing.

I plan on doing a bit of a redesign (nothing drastic as I am computer illiterate) to capture my new direction. For those still following and reading, thanks for your patience.

More to come soon....
