As if having one blog wasn't rough enough, I have just created a blog to track news about the V for Vendetta movie.

Since the announcement that Natalie Portman had signed on to play the female lead, I've been keeping track of various news the old-fashioned-web-way: hard-coding The Vendetta Shrine's movie news page. But in the last few weeks I've been busy with other things and just didn't have the time to add in the latest news that's been circulated. So I'm streamlining the problem by using a blog. Since Blogger has a handy-dandy feature that lets me take any webpage on my browser and post a link to that page on my blog, it'll make updates much easier for me. This will undoubtedly be a good thing as the Summer rolls on and more and more news starts circulating the 'Net.

Of course, the design for the blog looks like shit at the moment. In fact, you'll note it looks identical to the original layout of this blog. This was done for expediency's sake--I wanted the blog active lest another few weeks go by--so I'll suffer the eyesore of a design for now and somewhere inbetween my business projects I'll find time to format the blog in a design similar to my Vendetta Shrine. Knowing me, this is either going to happen before the end of this week or sometime around August.

Why am I doing this? I wish I knew. It's a perverse habit, I think. This movie will blow. I mean, really. Go to my movie blog and click on the entry about the Ain't It Cool script review. The script sounds atrocious. It'll be nothing like the comic. So why waste my time tracking information and press releases? Because I love the comic. And part of me still hopes that if somebody comes to my site because of the movie, they'll stick around lohng enough to be convinced they should buy the comic.

It's twisted logic, I know. But look who you're talking about. On the bright side, with a specific Vendetta-themed blog running, you'll now be spared various entries on this blog related to the comic and the movie. (Unless, of course, the entry winds up being rather inspired, in which case you bet your ass I'll be pointing it out on the Wire. But I digress....)

OK, enough of this. The entire evening is gone and I gots ta get some sleep.
