I join the blogosphere, intending to stay in touch with friends, and forcing myself to write regularly.  Usually I will write about movies.  I aim to only post if the writing is thoughtful and provocative.  Or funny.

Today, the latter:

I had a hard time thinking of a title for the blog.  Nothing really catchy came to mind, and I didn’t want to have a generic name about watching movies.  Then I remembered an hilarious conversation I had with my friend Gary.  The blog title has no significance aside from this witty laugh. 

Phil: “Isn’t it neat how some people call Mamet the American Shakespeare?”

Gary: “Yeah, Tom Stoppard’s the English Shakespeare.”
