It has been said that the Hollywood lifestyle is all about sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. Well, in an effort to
be cute and play off that threesome, I've branded the Movie Mark lifestyle to be all about flex, slugs, and
rigamarole. What exactly does this mean? I'm glad you asked. Allow me to explain.
You, the reader, come to the Movie Mark to be entertained and educated by my movie reviews and insight on the
entertainment community. Well, you probably come here to see if I'm giving out free movie passes, t-shirts,
and posters, but that's beside the point. The bottom line is I wanted to create a section that would allow me
to give you the scoop on movies, trailers, celebrities, etc. But I also want the section to be a place where I
can lay the smack down on the stupidity we often see coming out of that weird little town in California. And I
want to do that on a regular basis. Here's what you can expect...
FLEX - Oft times the section will be an exercise in flexing my brain muscles,
intellectualizing what is wrong in ol' Tinsel Town. It'll give me the opportunity to take a strong stand
against whatever I see wrong in today's entertainment world. Or perhaps I will provide you with discourse on
proper moviegoing etiquette. I may make controversial statements at times that could potentially offend a few
of you, but that's a chance we take in life when we voice intelligent opinions. We need to be forced to think
a little on a regular basis.
SLUGS - Sometimes I'll just be in the mood to make fun of people, whether it's Tom
Cruise's lack of height or Madonna's belief that she's raising her children in a moral household, there are just
certain aspects of Hollywood and its inhabitants that need to be ridiculed. As you probably know, I have no
problem taking shots at bad movies or silly actors. Plus, I want to give you the opportunity to respond to my
thoughts. You will have the chance to slug back, if you will.
RIGAMAROLE - There are other times when I won't have anything all that meaningful to
say. Perhaps I'll just post a link to a new trailer and give you my thoughts, or maybe I'll wax poetic about
how cool John Schneider's hair looked on the previous night's Smallville. You never know what sort of
rigamarole I'll be able to formulate an opinion regarding.
That's it in a nutshell. Like I said, I want to try to give you readers more of an opportunity to be involved
and express your opinions. The concept and layout are quite simple. I hope you'll particpate. Please, feel
free to speak your mind, but watch your language. Small children could be reading.
