Things have been pretty quiet around pretendcritic.com lately, but not because I haven’t been consuming any media. After going a long time without watching anything, I have been on a streak lately. In the last couple months I have watched a half dozen movies, read a couple books, and marathon-ed the first 3 seasons of Game of Thrones. I even watched the amazing True Detective without making a single post on this blog.
I’m not sure why I haven’t posted. I guess I just haven’t felt the need to comment on anything. Writing movie reviews seems a little boring to me, but I’m sure I’ll snap out of that. I have fallen in love with Game of Thrones, and considered writing about each season. Then I realize that I am years behind, and nobody cares. It is too easy to just hit play on the next episode and absorb its awesomeness without sharing my thoughts. I can’t wait to start season 4, but I will be a little sad when I catch up and have to wait like everybody else. I like the Game of Thrones series so much I am considering reading the books. I am not typically a fan of the genre, but I think I would get into those.
After taking this long break I feel like I want to start writing for this blog again. I’m sure I will still review movies and ramble about television shows, but I’d like to start writing about other things as well. We will see if I am actually able to keep up with it.
