Meta-blogging
I have been writing about my Netflix DVDs for several years. I keep my DVD account despite the convenience of streaming video because I seek out the strange and innocuous, and streaming video panders to the masses. It has been my personal experience that not everything life-changingly good is packaged as a blockbuster, and released in the last six months. Sometimes it comes in a little red envelope, and with a title nobody you know has ever heard.
Netflix is celebrating twenty years of shipping the silver screen to millions of people in little, red envelopes, and they have invited me (and many others, I'm sure) to earn rewards by writing about it. #ad
Well, as Talbot Mundy once wrote, "A teller of tales should tell them."
I started this blog because I wanted to keep a diary of all the wonderful (and not-so-wonderful) things I found to watch, because I wanted a place to rediscover the pieces of cinematography that have made their mark on my taste and psyche. I love writing about the DVDs as much as I enjoy watching them, and I wish I had had the time during my doctoral studies to keep up with all the cool things I learned about film, too, mostly by watching things that other people find esoteric. My dissertation touches on film studies as well, and much of that is only possible because somebody decided to create a vast subscription library and shipping service for movies.
Bless you, Netflix, and please keep on keeping on.
