A Week of News: Jan 28th
I may not be a fan of writing about film news due to the rumour-like quality that a lot of the articles are. However, I do follow the news on a lot of film blogs and I do think that there’s something to keeping track of all of the “news” that’s mentioned throughout the week as it relates to the world of cinema.
So every Friday I’ll be posting a list of links of the week’s news around the internet. This week may seem a bit lax, but I’m hoping that with coming weeks I’ll figure out a system to have a more authoritative list of news links for the week.
