It was recently brought to my attention that the short-lived, but robust Premiere.com website has been obliterated from the universe by its Francophone owners, along with every bit of content created for it by various writers and editors since the former print film magazine was fully digitized in 2008. So, whoa, brah. A simple courtesy would have prevented writers such as myself losing all of their clips, but such a thing is too much to ask in this day and age. Although copies may yet exist on a back-up disc in some cluttered Parisian office, I have neither the energy or inclination to go on a NOC list hunt for said disc.
The loss of a sizeable chunk of my output for the past five years has led me to the spur-of-the-moment decision to create a low-flame blog where I can house back-up copies of pieces I remember fondly, lest such a thing happen again at another twitchy online concern. (I'm looking at you, redacted.) Naturally, I will also update it with whatever musings happen to strike me on a daily or semi-daily basis.
