The One With The First Post

So I decided to set up a blog. Not so much because I have life events worth sharing or because there are droves of people lining up to share in such events, but basically because I thought of the title "Q's Views" years ago and have yet to put it to good use. So while I was in the shower about 20 minutes ago (yes, like most people, I do my best thinking while in the bathroom) I decided to finally put my "Q's Views" page into motion.

This page will focus on my, The Q's, Views in regards to something really important: Film and Television. And on special occasions, Theatre. I would include music and books among my topics, but do not for specific reasons. First, music. I have great taste in music. No, really. You wish you could borrow my ipod. I'd estimate that at least 90% of what is on my ipod has never been played on the radio. As such, I am very protective of my music. It's special. It's sacred. It's not been whored out to the masses for instant gratification and then left by the curb only to be remembered with some kind of lame end of the year montage. Second, books. I do not read. Okay, rarely do I read.

Most of the time on this page will be devoted to film, as it has been my focus since the summer of 1995. My moviegoing is extensive and far exceeds my television viewing. In regards to my television viewing, most of you TV enthusiasts will see it as lacking and far inferior than yours. That's fine. I have no problem with that. I don't have cable and out of some freakish and unexplained long standing pledge of loyalty I rarely watch anything that is not broadcast on NBC (note the title of this post). I do not watch Grey's Anatomy, I do not watch anything with the letters CSI in the title and for the love of God, I do not watch American Idol.

With all that being said, welcome to The Q's Views and I hope you enjoy the reading.
