The Cinema Snob

Burial Ground: Nights of Terror (1x1)

Uitzenddatum: Jun 16, 2007

It's hard to believe it's been over 2 years since I started this show, but after watching this review for "Burial Ground: Nights of Terror"...yeah, I now fully believe it's been over 2 years. My, how far we've come. Now days, the prospect of a Snob video being only 4 1/2 minutes seems bizarre. I basically started the show as a lark, something I didn't think would catch on, but would entertain me for a day. I got the idea when I was watching Roger Ebert's review for "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter." It always stuck me as completely bizarre when a critic, any critic, who is by definition a cinema snob, would review an exploitation film. Watching them trashing a movie because of a lack of merits it shouldn't even have in the first place was just really funny to me. So that's why I started the show. I don't really go back and watch my episodes after they've been posted, so this was probably the 1st time I've seen this video in over a year. I gotta say, It was painful watching this video. You can tell I hadn't really found the right tone or voice or act for the character yet, and what's with the cut off at the end? I think I tried a different editor at the time I made this video, and the result chopped off the end of it. But, anyone who does a series of videos can probably tell you they don't really like their very first video. I think I fall into that category. I can say something positive about it, though. Look how much thinner I was in the beginning! I miss being in shape.
