2008 officially ends tonight (film year not the calendar year) at the stroke of whatever when the last Oscar is handed out. They're claiming 11:00 EST but then... don't they always? I'm not doing the traditional style live blogging but never fear -- I will toss a few posts up throughout the night if you're hanging around these parts.
The End of '08 (so ominous!) does not mean that things stop around here. Don't be a fair weather reader. We'll have a day or three of post-Oscar roundups and perhaps a wrap up podcast but The Film Experience is 24/7 movie madness so don't check out due to awards fatigue. "There's more to life than the Oscars", he said sacrilegiously.
Coming in 2009I have no idea! Quite a selling point, eh? I don't want to over promise or box myself in, but it
will include: more actress interviews, the TFE time travelling brew of old films (retrospectives, musical of month, personal canon) and new movies (definitely more DVD coverage / film reviews -- I've been remiss), reports from Tribeca, Nashville and NYC film festivals, a new 'Best Actress Psychic' contest, an experiment with "theme weeks"... maybe a vodcast? Perhaps world domination? We'll see. Ideas brewing. Later this year the 'Best of the
Year Decade' countdowns begin.
Eeek!
