You haven't heard from me for a while. Yes, it's true - I skipped the regular weekly updates here for over a month. Truth is, I got a little tired of essentially making a list of my accomplishments each week, but that's really all this website has been doing since the beginning of the summer.

So where does that put us? Does Stranded in Manhattan still have a purpose? All my reviews and even my Oscar columns are going up at TheCinemaSource now, and those are the two things I've always used this site for. I could put up more "random" posts (like my ramble a few months ago about how I sorta/kinda wrote a script that maybe at one point once was sort of similar to the show Chuck), because I actually do get the desire to just shoot the breeze once in a while in between weighing the pros and cons of Martian Child. Or I could just keep doing what I'm doing. If you have any insight, drop me a comment or something.

In the meantime, here's what I've been up to, from oldest to newest:
