What is the main focus of your site?
The majority of posts on Paragraph Film Reviews are film reviews; condensed into a paragraph! The occasional debate and general film-related topics are thrown in the hopper too, to mix it up a little.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
No blogging goals per se. A bigger readership and wanting to become a professional, full-time film reviewer go without saying, but this site was born out of my terrible memory. I used as a way of keeping track of the films I saw and my main thoughts – for future me / recommendations etc. By checking out the tags I stumbled into similar (and much better!) sites and now enjoy being part of a wider group of argumental bloggers, good enough for me.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
A little bit of both; most posts set up my stance on a particular film, then the readers come in and agree with it; or smash the arguments to pieces. For me this is ideal, and it’s great to see how bizarre and unique everyone’s tastes and opinions on films are – no wonder there’s so many review sites. Community-centric sites usually have to avoid becoming to broad and catch-all, whereas nobody like a bossy know-it-all.
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
The site’s been live for 18 months now. Really wanted to find a stride, style, get into a proper routine and have a large bank of reviews before joining the LAMB Posting used to be sporadic, but has recently been 3-4 new entries per week – god bless WP’s auto-publishing feature!
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Even though there’s no quality control, I love almost every James Bond film, they really started my obsession with cinema. OldBoy is my top movie of all time, can’t remember a film having such a strong effect on me. BaseKetball a close third – hey, everyone’s got to laugh.
How did you hear about the LAMB?
Aiden’s CTCMR was the first movie blog I stumbled upon, Kai of the List then joined, and pretty much everyone on my blogroll is a treasured Lamb now… was starting to feel left out.
Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above.
Thanks for having me.
Paul’s in the house… woot-woot!!!
