Last night, continuing today and for ninety-eight more days after that, I'm celebrating the upcoming tenth anniversary of Lost in the Movies as follows:
#10YearsOfLostInTheMovies begins right now - a 100-day trip through my archive leading to July 16, 2018, the 10th anniversary of my site. I will share 10 posts each day, moving chronologically from 2008 to the present. Hope this provides an interesting way to explore my work.— Joel Bocko (@LostInTheMovies) February 28, 2018
I will thread the links so you can scroll around, hopefully pretty seamlessly (though of course Twitter is not always great at handling this type of navigation). When there are interesting images to incorporate, I’ll add them in a subsequent tweet.— Joel Bocko (@LostInTheMovies) February 28, 2018
As a disclaimer I certainly don’t always stand by everything I wrote years or even a decade ago; opinions change and I may also have written something differently than I do now. In various ways I’ve changed over the years though I’m still happy with most what I’ve published.— Joel Bocko (@LostInTheMovies) February 28, 2018
This approach will also hopefully offer a sense of how my approach has grown and expanded (and sometimes contracted) over the years. For fun I’ll also include archive screenshots of how the site(s) looked at various points, from time to time.— Joel Bocko (@LostInTheMovies) February 28, 2018
Let’s begin at the beginning...— Joel Bocko (@LostInTheMovies) February 28, 2018
I kicked off with a dual review that spanned 110 years of cinema, with “handcrafted” films as the subjects on both ends. A good place to start! #10YearsOfLostInTheMovies Day 1 (1/10) https://t.co/W2z0rtHjEO— Joel Bocko (@LostInTheMovies) February 28, 2018
From there, you can follow this exercise by tracking #10YearsOfLostInTheMovies on Twitter and/or checking in each night to see the next ten posts I tweet. When this journey concludes the day before the anniversary, I'll share a round-up of all my work in chronological order to accompany my historical and alphabetical directories. Here's to a decade...
