For anybody familiar who comes on this site, last year around this time, I posted a blog entry entitled 5 Goals I Hope to Accomplish in 2023 (click here). In it, I listed what I hoped to accomplish for that year. So have I succeeded? Let us look at the result below:

1. Write more reviews on the poliziotteschi films that Steve (a regular visitor of this site) has recommended to me (I have accomplished the task of watching these gems).
   
   Goal Mostly Met. Steve (click here to view his youtube channel) will be more than thrilled to hear that I have seen just about every poliziotteschi film that he has recommended to me. What I have not achieved yet is writing the reviews of them. Nevertheless, I will call this a step in the right direction.
   
2. Resume my Moviedrome Monday entries (I only have two more seasons to cover).
   
   Goal Unfulfilled. Though I do not live in the UK where the show was broadcasted, I mostly got information about the episodes from the Internet, which is also where I find various old intros to the films being shown and offer my take on them. Take note, that not every intro is available online. Click here to read the first one I ever offered commentary on.
   
3. Write more blog entries.
   
   Goal 50% Met. Read number 4.
   
4. To start on writing a series of blog entries regarding the rankings of great films directed by my favorite directors.
   
   Goal 50% Met. Mid-2023 is when I started doing blog entries regarding how I rank all the great films of my favorite directors. It is true that I have not even finished the A last names yet, but once again, a step in the right direction.
   
5. Comment more on the blog entries of my fellow readers (i.e. Paul S, Pete etc.).
   
   Goal 50% Met. I have catched as many of their posts as I have missed them. Either way, I would like to leave more replies on the sites of bloggers I have regularly visited in the past. While reading Paul S Pfeiffer Films and Meg Movies site (click here), I was introduced to a new blogger by the name of Michael and his site entitled The Starfire Lounge (click here) is every bit as fantastic as all the other bloggers I frequent.

So let’s see, I have fulfilled one 2023 goal and accomplished 50 percent of three others and missed only one. Not bad, but I still hope to do better this year, which is 2024 🙂

Happy 2023 to all of my dear readers 🙂 Yes, I know I have not been posting as frequently as I would like, but my schedule has been chock full lately 😦 Nevertheless, I do hope to post more as the year progresses 🙂 Here, below are just 5 of those goals 🙂

1. Write more reviews on the poliziotteschi films that Steve (a regular visitor of this site) has recommended to me (I have accomplished the task of watching these gems).
2. Resume my Moviedrome Monday entries (I only have two more seasons to cover).
3. Write more blog entries.
4. To start on writing a series of blog entries regarding the rankings of great films directed by my favorite directors.
5. Comment more on the blog entries of my fellow readers (i.e. Paul S, Pete etc.).

Once again, I hope to accomplish all of these goals as the year goes by and a huge thanks to all of my dear readers who comment on here 🙂

Nevertheless, I will be back next Sunday with a new Moviedrome Monday blog entry 🙂

I am a little behind this week my dear readers, but I will be back with a new Moviedrome Monday entry next Sunday 🙂

Please forgive me dear readers, but my Moviedrome Monday entry for today has been postponed for tomorrow. A few hours after I completed what was going to be this week’s entry, fellow reader Steve kindly reminded me that that Moviedrome episode was a double-bill 🙂 Since I love to be as accurate as possible 🙂, I decided to delete that other blog entry and revise it for tomorrow, so it has both of the films on there like the original episode did 🙂 Once again, please forgive my unintended error and I shall post it for all of you to see by midnight Tuesday 🙂

P.S. thank you once again Steve for pointing this out to me 🙂 My revision should be be ready for reading by midnight Tuesday (US time) 🙂

There will be no Moviedrome Monday entries tomorrow, next Monday and the Monday after. I am taking a break from this blog. Do not worry though, I will return with new blog entries (including that of new Moviedrome Monday entries) on Sunday July 25, 2021 🙂

Moviedrome Mondays will resume next week 🙂 Until then, I would like to wish all of my dear readers a Happy Easter 🙂

No Moviedrome Monday entry this week, but do not worry, I will be back next week with a new one as always 🙂

To Steve: I would like to sincerely apologize to you for hurting your feelings in regards to those two Moviedrome videos you uploaded. Though it was unintentional on my part, I truly feel sorry for any pain I may have caused you. Please do not delete your videos because I love watching any Moviedrome youtube video regardless of quality. When I used the word lousy to describe them, I assumed you felt the same. Nevertheless, your hard work in getting those videos together was far from it. In fact, you deserve high praise from me and everybody else for your hard work. You are also right in your implications that when that rare Moviedrome video is uploaded, it offsets any shortcomings. Please re-upload your videos because I do love watching them regardless of quality. I did not intend to use the word lousy in extreme terms (personally, I do not think any thing about it is lousy). Nevertheless, words can hurt and people can look at what I say in a different light. Please do not delete your two Moviedrome videos because I really do love them. I am glad that you enjoyed looking at my Moviedrome Monday blog entries, please continue to do so. If not, I will not hold it against you, but I do want to let you know that I am truly sorry for any hurt I may have caused you.

To My Readers: The above apology letter was in regards to the blog entry regarding the Moviedrome Monday double bill entry of Hell’s Angels on Wheels and Rumble Fish (read here). When I linked to the youtube videos of Alex Cox introducing both films, I used the word lousy to describe the audio and quality of it. The word lousy to describe both videos have since been removed by me, but I think it may have played a significant role in Steve’s (the uploader of the videos) deletion of them. At the time, I assumed that he probably felt the same way – in other words, I was with him in thinking better this than nothing. Sadly, Steve mistook it as a harsh criticism and I feel responsible for his removal of the videos. Personally, I could care less about the audio and quality of the videos and like him (and hopefully you dear readers), I love any Moviedrome video regardless of audio and quality. Steve’s efforts took a lot of hard work and I sold him short. Of course that was not intended, but he mistook it as such. Right now, Steve feels hurt and I partly need the help of all of you readers. First off, as with Steve, I owe all of you dear readers a huge sincere apology and second, I do not want to hurt my relationship with him or any of you. I do not know If this idea will work, but I want all of you readers to try and encourage Steve to re-upload his Moviedrome youtube videos by leaving this reply in my comment box below. The letters are in bold.

Steve, we truly appreciate all your hard work in uploading whatever Moviedrome videos you can put together on youtube. Please do not delete them, all of us could care less about audio and quality. Your hard work always pays off.

There will be no Moviedrome Monday entries this week because I feel like I need to relax a bit, but never fear dear readers, I will be back with a new one for Monday, July 27, 2020 🙂 Have a great week my dear readers 🙂
