In this section, I will discuss any peculiar or general film-related topics that spring to mind, stimulate my senses, or arouse my curiosities. I will examine almost any aspect of filmmaking—the omnipresent work of a director, for example. I'm a firm believer in auteurism. Expect my commentaries to be informative, colorful, and in-depth. Some ideas may be extraneous. And polemical disputes can generate extraordinary debates, but establishing an argument for argument's sake is intellectually treasonous. Thus, my intention and hope is to avoid these controversies. That does not mean I do not welcome dissension. In fact, I encourage and embrace all opinions with equal resolve. So armor up, replenish your filmic knowledge, and enlighten me. You have been forewarned.
