Brutally Blunt Blog Blustering #58: In the Mood

It's Blusterin' Time!

If you're new to this feature or need a refresher, click the label at the bottom of this post and see the previous posts. Otherwise, here are the basics:

What I do is list a site; you critique it. But here's the catch: to induce the most honest reactions, don't leave the comment using your normal alias/login - instead, go anonymous, and be as brutally honest (or complimentary) as you wish to be. Also, be specific, and naturally, don't be rude. If I deem anything inappropriate, I'll have no problem deleting the comment.

So, go to the site listed below, familiarize yourself with it for a few minutes, then come back and leave some constructive criticism and/or comments that you have.

And remember: Blustering should be a two-way street; if you've asked to be blustered, you better be a blusterer.

What is the main focus of your site?
The main focus of my site is Classic Hollywood. Sometimes I will wander into pre-1960s music or post photos I take; but 19 out of 25 posts are Classic Hollywood related.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
Professionally - My goal is to write for a newspaper when I graduate, and I consider blogging to be practice for that.
Personally - I need a place to let out my thoughts, blogging is perfect for that.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
I prefer an interactive community, for sure. I consider my readers friends who can feel free to suggest things, I wouldn't consider it a teacher-pupil relationship.

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
My blog has been active for 10 months; and I post multiple times every week.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
The Lady Eve (1941), Top Hat (1935), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)

How did you hear about the LAMB?
I noticed LAMB banners on two of my favorite blogs: FilmClassics and The Most Beautiful Fraud in the World.
