Mountain FogFAREWELL SCREENTREK

That's me on the boat. I'm the captain.
In the information hustle and bustle that dominates the Internet, so many blogs wind up abandoned, pieces of cyberspace junk floating in the ether, unvisited except for the occasional Google typo.
I’m soon to be moving on from Screentrek, my new permanent home ready and waiting over at 20/20 Filmsight, but both myself and Mr Mountain Fog were determined this site wouldn’t die a slow death, its content calcifying into an irrelevance dictated by time.
So, in the coming days my graceless face will be replaced by a rather fetching depiction of the Blueys, and the scribbles of Mr Matt Shea substituted for the wiser and altogether more considered words of Fog – the Kobe Bryant of film blogging, I like to think.
I can’t say it hasn’t been fun – I saw some good films and some bad films, and a couple of people flamed me every now and then – and if you in any way value my opinion on film, you can catch me over at 20/20.
In the meantime, over to you Foggy…

I gather then that Cibby isn't planning on returning to 20/20 FIlmsight upon completion of his thesis. He's given up the Orble ghost I presume, and you're the skeleton in the closet.
I was concerned for a brief moment then when I saw the post headline that you were leaving Orble altogether, but I was relieved to know that it's just a simple case of musical blog chairs.
It makes sense I guess, since 20/20 Filmsight has strong traffic, and it needs a strong, opinionated and intelligent voice steering it through. No point letting just any old wannabe moviehead take over the reigns!
Matt Shea's the man for the job!

I note Byrn's comment;

which by inference must reflect on all who wrote temporarily for 20/20!
However, I will try not to sully (too much) your abandoned golden patch of sage critique with my bovine, hack, trite and pseudo journalese!!
cheers and have fun at your new pad.
I will do a post here shortly, hopefully raising a crooked smile on a few dials.

And thanks Fog - I like to think that everyone's the Kobe Bryant of something in life...

I forgot the cardinal rule, typed words do not convey the satirical tone in one's voice... so my apologies to you, I know you do not slur people for the sake of it, and take your work here very seriously.
my dumbasss baaaadd!!

All i will say is the same as above, you are a worthy successor to Orble's top ranked film site...and i love Fog's style so your own launch pad is in good hands too

It does seem that I am forever at #3, that's for sure, no where near the numbers since your last google bump...I remember the good old days when I gave you some competition at least....that's what I get for moving overseas and failing to write for 6 months. self inflicted wounds cut the deepest.
