That’s all it really has going for it, because the clunky pacing and the typical and repetitive sci-fi locations and ideas are what you are in store for.

Scene Stealer | “Ed Wood” Bela Lugosi fights the Octopus

Filmdogs | One Year Old

On Monday the 31st of January, Filmdogsonline.com will officially be 1 Year Old.

It’s been a fun year for the Pack as we try and figure out exactly what Filmdogs is all about and how to expand and to do things that work and to see things start to not work. It’s all part of the process. More than anything, as a team, we’ve tried to figure out ways to overcome lulls in our content and enthusiasm and at the same time continue to find new ways to talk about film in general.

I definitely got something out my year at Filmdogs: some new friends. I’m glad to be able to share my Tuesday evenings with Mr. Will and Mr. Jason (and occasionally Ms. Mack) and hope to enjoy another great year of podcasting!

For the past month, I’ve been developing a new theme for the website and plan to launch it on our anniversary date. At that time, we’ll be sharing our 1 Year Anniversary with our readers and having some contests with prizes (woo hoo!) too.

Here’s to another year of film.
