#10YearsOfLostInTheMovies begins right now - a 100-day trip through my archive leading to July 16, 2018, the 10th anniversary of my site. I will share 10 posts each day, moving chronologically from 2008 to the present. Hope this provides an interesting way to explore my work.
I will thread the links so you can scroll around, hopefully pretty seamlessly (though of course Twitter is not always great at handling this type of navigation). When there are interesting images to incorporate, I’ll add them in a subsequent tweet.
As a disclaimer I certainly don’t always stand by everything I wrote years or even a decade ago; opinions change and I may also have written something differently than I do now. In various ways I’ve changed over the years though I’m still happy with most what I’ve published.
This approach will also hopefully offer a sense of how my approach has grown and expanded (and sometimes contracted) over the years. For fun I’ll also include archive screenshots of how the site(s) looked at various points, from time to time.
Let’s begin at the beginning...
I kicked off with a dual review that spanned 110 years of cinema, with “handcrafted” films as the subjects on both ends. A good place to start! #10YearsOfLostInTheMovies Day 1 (1/10) lostinthemovies.com/2008/07/landma…

If I was shocked by Fire Walk With Me, I may have been even more shocked when I discovered how it was received. I’d never seen a greater gap between a work and its reaction, and still haven’t. #10YearsOfLostInTheMovies Day 3 (6/10) lostinthemovies.com/2008/08/critic…
