It's time to unveil a new feature here at Media Junkie. It's one I've debated doing for a long time, but I'm just going to run with it.
There are plenty of movie sites out there on the internet. If you want the latest scoops, you go to Ain't It Cool News, if you want exhaustive information you go to the Internet Movie Database, and if you want trailers, you go to Apple. Therefore, it seemed kind of redundant to post trailers for films I'm looking forward to at this blog, but then I remembered - this is MY blog.
I'm not trying to compete with those sites. I love those sites and visit them on a daily basis. I'm not trying to be the biggest music/movie blog on the internet or paint myself as an authoritative voice. I'm just a nerd with a passion for these forms of entertainment, a passion for writing, and too much free time on my hands. Media Junkie is a fun side project for me, so why shouldn't I write short pieces about upcoming features and their trailers?
With that in mind, I'm going to begin sharing the films I'm excited to see in the feature Approved For All Audiences, and I'm going to kick things off later this weekend with my write-up of the 16 minute preview of James Cameron's new 3D science fiction epic, Avatar, I witnessed yesterday before attending a late screening of Inglourious Basterds.
Nobody is going to come to this blog to see the latest trailers, but that isn't the point. The point is, was, and always will be to share my enthusiasm for the things I love, and if anybody enjoys reading them, that's just a bonus.
