Thanks to all the new subscribers!

I checked my stats this morning and 20/20 Filmsight is getting over 5,000 readers every day! Sure, a great number of those are robots looking to spam content and porn-hungry internet vagabonds, but there are plenty of real people hidden in those stats, too.
I had a surge of around 20 new subscribers recently, some of whom are probably new Orble bloggers. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy reading!
In case you're new to the blog, I thought I'd take a skinny dip into my posts of yore and dig up some interesting stuff from the vaults.
Articles that I've written:
Senator Obama is the Riddler
Very timely... Obama is looking like the best face the Democrats can push forward at the moment.
Why it's great to be a film critic
Even though most of us are tiptoeing the line between surly and grouchy, there's a lot to look forward to.
Yang Li Ping dance video
I found this incredible Chinese dance video, with a sexy, graceful star. I uploaded animated GIFs I made from the video.
8 Great Movies that Men Should Watch
I went atypical on this list, trying to convince men to watch something they usually wouldn't go near...
Why British comedy series are superior to American comedy series
Just in my opinion, of course, and I haven't seen the good stuff that's coming out of America right now.
The New Yorker on romantic comedies
An illuminating article on what makes a great rom-com
Asparagus Juice
I can't believe I drank this stuff...
The Jena 6 and Nina Simone
This song carries the weight of the Civil Rights Movement...
A Few Good Reviews:
Annie Hall - Deep Red - The Story of the Weeping Camel - An American Werewolf in London - Husbands and Wives - Zombie Movie from Horrorphile - Grindhouse - I served the King of England - No Country for Old Men - London to Brighton - Hot Fuzz - Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
and, since you've been good enough to read until the end, some endlessly hilarious or fascinating videos to make your day:
Lasse's Amateur
An old Pink Panther cartoon
Bush in the United States of Whatevah!
My hometown sings the Canadian anthem at a playoff game in response to Americans booing the anthem in the States.
A Hindi version of Informer by Snow
Fainting Goats
Drunk Burglar tries to rob liquor store
Pulp Fiction in typography
... what, you're still here? Oh, I know. You want the sleazy stuff. OK, here are a couple of distractions for you:
The lesbian top 100 sexiest women - A group of lesbians pick the sexiest women in the world. A great list...
The Top 10 (B-list) actresses from the 80s
- Not definitive... just the ones that I liked when I was a kid.
The epic Femtroopers post - this post gets around 500 readers every day!
A Japanese game show with pie-fighting rodeo bikini models - I could easily design a game this weird. Seriously.
Alize Jacotey music video - I have a weakness for French women, and this singer makes my affliction even worse.
Waiting Movie Review - this is an awful movie. A mediocre premise, ruined by try-hardness. I sat through it for the occasional glimpse of Emmanuelle Chriqui, a Montreal-born actress that brings sweet rain to a parched desert. Good lord!
Lindsay Lohan shrug - I don't like this actress, but I can't pull my eyes away.
Body double for Zhang Ziyi wants to marry a foreigner - The movie was awful, but the bathing scenes burned images into my retinas.
That's all I've got. Can't you see that I'm penniless? Please, leave a poor critic alone with his boxes of DVDs...

Ruby, even though it seems like a big number, very few of those readers comment, so it doesn't feel like this blog is particularly well-trafficked.
