New Blog Announcment

I'm starting a new blog that is more expansive on what it deals with. It will be titled "Nedoh Media." I will expand on more in depth discussion on films, music, books, and television, That doesn't mean that I will cease to publish on this blog, I will focus less on film, and reach out to other media. It might not be up for a little bit, but be aware. Thank you, and I will keep you posted.
