Link Fest: All Good Things Must Come To An End

The blogosphere is such a wonderful place. It’s a world full of ideas and various forms of self expression. Some blogs challenge you to think about important things like friendship, sacrifice, and intolerance. And some insanely prolific bloggers blog about . . . everything! One particular blogger, Samurai Frog, blogs about every topic imaginable—racism, television, and even the muppets. These are just four of my favorite blogs; for a complete list of my favorite blogs, check out “The IT List” section of the sidebar. Also check out the links listed under “Cinephiles;” you’ll find some great blogs there, too.

Anyway, as I was visiting my favorite blogs this afternoon, jumping from one post to another, I was shocked when I came across the most recent post on Cinemarati, a community of bloggers for film commentary. Apparently, Cinemarati will cease to exist in a few days, and that’s a shame. The one thing I’ll miss most about Cinemarati is that this group of bloggers managed to provide a forum for the female voice. While most film bloggers couldn’t care less about the sad state of women in Hollywood, Cinemarati would consistently bring up this and related issues. So, I’d like to thank this group of fine individuals (film critics, bloggers, journalists, and movie experts) for providing an alternative to the superficial offerings of the mainstream media. I guess all good things must come to an end. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
