My dream is to one day make a living writing and maintaining my own film news website. But, as of right now, I'm merely a college student trying to get his foot in the door. When I started this blog I intended it to be something I'd do casually, but it's evolved into something I truly love doing. Even better, I'm far more successful with it then I ever thought I would be. So, I'm evolving the site from a simple blog into a full functioning website with recurring segments, more frequent reviews and lots of news commentary. Naturally, much of this will revolve around whether or not I have time to post- my college education has to come first, I'm afraid- but I am taking the steps to make this a more exciting website for film lovers. And I strongly recommend you follow me on Twitter, as I'll make announcements regarding posts much more frequently. Anyway, here is a look at what's to come on Coach Potato Digest:
Our Top Story Tonight-
I've already begun posting "Our Top Story Tonight", which you can expect every night, except for Saturdays and Sundays. The posts will provide my thoughts on the biggest film related story of the day, as well as some quick commentary on other stories.
Box Office Breakdown-
I started Box Office Breakdown yesterday, and you can expect it every Sunday from now on. It's not much more than a rundown of the weekend box office and early predictions for the following week, but such news are staples for Internet film sites.
Entries from My Shame List-
Unfortunately, I won't be able to guarantee how often I'll be posting Entries from My Shame List, but I'm excited to start it. Everyone has a shame list of beloved films they haven't seen. What I'll be doing is watching films on it, explain why I haven't seen it until now, and give my thoughts on it. It's, essentially, smaller versions of film reviews, but made more personal.
Movies I Love-
This will be a bi-weekly segment that I'll be writing up on Sundays starting this week. It will, essentially, be small essays on films I love and why I find them so great. I'm not sure which film I'll be starting with, but they will be in-depth, and deal with the deeply personal effects films have on us all.
Monthly Previews-
A breakdown of all the films being released that month and what I'm excited to see. You can expect one for April by next week.
Monthly Essays-
Have you read my essay defending Nicholas Cage? Did you like it? Well, I'll be writing more essays on topics about the film industry that interest me. I hope to write one a month, maybe more.
More Frequent Discussions on TV-
As an avid TV watcher I always feel the need to discuss the shows I love. Yet, I haven't thought of how to do so just yet. I hope to get started with more frequent postings on the TV I'm watching. I will definitely posting a lot when "Breaking Bad" begins it's final season in July but, until then, it may require some further brainstorming.
Revisiting My Top 10-
Throughout the summer, I plan on revisiting all four of the Top 10 lists I've made throughout my four years taking film serious- 2009-2012. I'll be breaking down one list a month, and you can expect that starting sometime in May.
More Movie Reviews-
I got lazy last year and only reviewed certain films when I felt like it. This year, I pledge to write a review for every film released in 2013 that I've seen. Obviously, I'm hoping that 2013 offers more interesting options. After all, I've only seen two movies (Mama & Oz the Great and Powerful) so far. But, I promise that when I see a film this year, you'll get a review within three days.
But, most importantly, I want to thank all my frequent readers for checking out my blog. I'm hoping this will be an interesting, informative and unique place for film lovers everywhere. Once again, I ask you to follow me on Twitter. But, until next time, thanks for reading!
