It’s exactly seven years ago today that I put up my first post on the now defunct FilmJournal site. Although my output at this place has slowed to something of a trickle of late, I didn’t want to let the occasion pass without a mention. I hope to get back to writing a bit more regularly as soon as possible, time permitting of course. Anyway, in the meantime, let me just say thank you to all the visitors and movie-lovers who have helped keep this site going – there’s been some vibrant and informative chat over the years, and that’s what really forms the heart of the place.

Congratulations! I’m coming up on seven years myself at the end of January, and am still learning new things about the movies. Just this morning I learned that Laurel and Hardy did a propaganda short for the US Forestry Service in World War II, and it’s available on Youtube. Who knew?
