MMM in 2008

mmm-logo-red-name2008 was an interesting year for me and MMM. Two things stick out in my mind as sea-change moments.

First, around May of this year I decided to get out of the daily news business here on MMM. My full-time job along with a desire to re-prioritize my life a bit led me to decide that trying to keep up with the other movie writers in breaking the latest trailers or whatever. I couldn’t, so it wound up being two or three days until I mentioned a new poster for X movie had been released.

Instead I decided to embrace what it was I really wanted to be: a columnist. Between June and December the number of full columns I wrote increased dramatically. All the new trailer posts were eating into the time I really wanted to spend writing these columns and I’m still very happy with this decision.

Second, that full time job I mentioned changed in August. I left MWW Group and became Director of Marketing at Spout.com. My experience there has been fantastic. I work with smart people who are passionate about sharing their opinions on movies and encouraging others to do likewise. I’m very much excited to start 2009 with them and get things going along my own path.

2009 is going to be an exciting year on a number of levels. I’ve got some good plans in mind for Spout and some good plans in mind for MMM and hope they all come to fruition.

As part of the anticipation for 2009 I’ve gone ahead and updated my About/Contact/Pitch page as well as my Best of MMM page. I’m also including below, if you’re interested, a complete list of the MMM columns I published this year. Winds up being a little under one per week which, considering what 2008 has looked like, I’m extremely happy with.
