Hello loyal readers, and welcome to my very own special edition of Dustin's Disastrous Decisions. I felt it necessary to explain my hiatus, and what to expect from this page in the days to come. I feel an obligation to my readers to explain things like this (whether I were to have five readers or five million), so I hope you enjoy this article and can get excited for some changes I have coming down the road. Remember this page and my experience in reviews is still in its adolescence, so if some things don't pan out or I decide to switch my style bare with me and I hope I can always give you an entertaining experience.
Dustin's Disastrous Decisions
So as you all have noticed (if you keep current with my page) I have missed quite a few releases of movies. Basically, this is because I was in-between day jobs and didn't have the money to spend on tickets. It sucked because it not only kept me from doing something I love, but kept my readers waiting and for that I apologize. Right now, it is not fiscally responsible for me to try and catch up on all the movies I have missed, I will still be taking requests from you all for any current or earlier movies, (specifically speaking of one request for "Let's Be Cops"), but I will be keeping to movies as they premiere in their respective opening weekends unless specifically requested otherwise. Mainly, all this will really effect is my end of the year list of Best, Worst, and Awards.
Dustin's Dirty Dozen
So, after giving it much thought I will be moving my Top 12 lists to only encompass special events or holidays. Mainly, this is just in the interest of time, and because I hate being late with things. With the hours I keep at my current day job I can't guarantee I will be able write one or more reviews over the weekend, keep up with requests,and review a relevant old movie every Thursday on top of a list blog; however I will follow a request chain on this as well. For example, if you really want to know what my Top 12 Adam Sandler films are I will make it and put it up. For now it is being pushed away for things I absolutely want to keep current with.
Dustin's Dilapidated Decisions
I will still be keeping up with my throwback Thursday article (unfortunately it is not really relevant for me to review the original "Sin City" unless specifically requested otherwise). I will be responding to all requests for this as soon as humanly possible. It will be back up next Thursday 9/18/2014 and the movie I will be reviewing is "Jersey Girl" in honor of Kevin Smith's new movie "Tusk" coming out the following Friday. I will most likely put up a list of movies I plan on reviewing for this in the weeks to come, but for right now I am just playing it by ear.
Television
So after some debate with myself I have decided to start taking requests for reviewing T.V. Series. These are the only requests I will absolutely have to put stipulations on, so here we go.
1. Nothing over five seasons if I haven't seen it before. If I haven't seen the series before, I will not be taking any requests for television series over five seasons in length. Mainly, because I will have to binge watch this series from start to finish and since I can predict that most the series that will be requested are going to have hour long episodes I need to draw a line.
2. Patience. I have a way of working this so you won't have to be patient for to long, but realize that the usual running time of a movie is between an hour and half or two hours. This will be a bit of a longer engagement.
That's really it. If you make a request for a T.V. show I will put up my reviews one season at a time. Animation and Anime are highly encouraged since that is a medium I love talking about.
Upcoming Events
Obviously, with October right around the corner most of my reviews are going to be about horror movies that month. After that in November I will be having an animation month. My thought process for making November animation month was basically to try and combat the hours of horror movies viewed in October by following it up with something a bit lighter. These are both months where I am going to have lists up. I won't be making lists for December because I am The Grinch and hate Christmas, but will be reviewing old Christmas movies.
Wrapping up...
Anyways, that's about it for me here gang. Thank you for reading and stay tuned because I am going to be writing a lot now.
Enjoy the movies,
Dustin
