FulltimeCasual!

Hey, have you heard about this great site, fulltimecasual? No? That's probably because nobody posts there. Ever. Well, not ever, but it wouldn't be the interwebs without hyperbole. Point is it's been too long. Far too long! So... Sorry everyone for the recent absence of The Goods on this fine site and its podcast. There've been a long series of circumstances preventing us from podcasting just recently, what with Pete and I both moving house, Christmas being a time of grueling family duty, and now Pete flying to the US doing all the cool things that Pete does in his glamourous Petely life. I can't really think of a workable excuse for the lack of posting, though. I mean, Pete has always been a child of two worlds, what with the Mactalk podcast and all... but me? My only excuse is laziness. Well, that and the fact that the only currency in which I'm paid for my herculean efforts is an occasional reprieve from the beatings that are commonplace here at Fulltimecasual HQ. Or, as it's colloquially known, Snake Mountain. Petey is harsh but fair... all hail Petey... But my problems aren't your problems! It's hard to write stuff. 'Cause I want it to be good, and you, dear reader, are always sharper than me. Nonetheless, I feel that it's time to make things right. From now on I promise to do my best to post enough to match Pete's efforts in putting this whole thing together. And to make your RSS feed worthwhile. That subscription is free in monetary terms, but it's an investment in time and engagement, which is a precious commodity itself. You're a busy person. You don't have time for just any old nonsense! In that spirit, here are the future goods: very soon, a hyperbolic review of Zack Snyder's latest, Sucker Punch. Hyperbolic, but also accurate. Following this, I'm going to take a new idea out for a spin -- I'm provisionally calling it upside/downside (I'm hoping for a better title) where I'll discuss what makes great films great, but also where they don't quite cut it. 'Cause no film is perfect, not even one with Bruce Campbell. Then more reviews. And other stuff. Loads of stuff. Good stuff!
