Virtual handjobs all around.
You know, there are a lot of blogs out there in this vastly interconnected cyberworld dedicated to bringing you supposedly entertaining reviews about a wide variety of cinematic treats, the majority of which aren't worth your time, patience, or bandwidth. And while I'd like to say that I'm an exception to this far-reaching criticism of modern culture, this funky little site isn't quite the be-all end-all destination for such self-serving faux-literary fiddlings I like to pretend it is. In fact, there are several well-written film-related sites that instantly turn my pasty skin an unhealthy shade of green each and every time I step through their virtual doors. Instead of ignoring these talented writers by proclaiming myself to be King Ding-A-Ling amongst film bloggers, I'm going to use this opportunity to shed some light on those who are doing superb work with their respective blogs. Not that my opinion really matters, mind you, but I'm sure they'll enjoy a little exposure on a site that is covered with virtual dust, cobwebs, and undefinable chunks of lily white ickiness. If, for some bizarre reason, you feel you've been slighted and/or unfairly snubbed from this list, remember this helpful slice of information: I don't care. Stop whining for two seconds and think about someone other than yourself for a change. Seriously, man. Sheesh.
Lurple.com - A must-read for fans of obscure, low-budget trash from around the world. Their combined wit and sense of humor are second to none, and their ability to locate grossly enjoyable oddities within the depths of foreign cinema is currently unmatched. Weng Weng for life, yo.
Damaged 2.0 - Although Louis Fowler's insanely readable blog has moved away from cinema-related carnage as of late, that doesn't mean you should blatantly ignore that man's work. For lack of better hyperbole, I'll boldly proclaim Louis to be one of the funniest bloggers in operation today. I'm still afraid to try any of the man's demented homebrew recipes.
He Shot Cyrus - Nevermind that he's currently covering Sundance for Film Threat -- El Gringo's blog is a sweet brick of cinematic candy for those who adore everything about the movies. The guy seems to have a genuine love of film, a fact which gives his blog an easy, light-hearted flow. The real deal.
Cinema Suicide - If it's cult-related news you're after, look no further. I glean all sorts of nifty information from this blog on a semi-regular basis, all of which is presented in Bryan's straight-forward, no nonsense prose. It's because of him that I located a copy of the Jon Cryer flick Dudes. Nuff said? Exactly.
Mad Mad Mad Mad Movies - Like the fellows at Lurple, the Vicar of VHS and the Duke of DVD have dedicated their free time to giving you an in-depth analysis of flicks you've probably never heard of. Obscure horror and exploitation are their forte, so prepare yourself accordingly before proceeding.

Thanks for the shoutout! And for letting me know abut a few other blogs I hadn't stumbled across yet.
I find myself distracted by the guy tape-recording Oprah's bodacious cleavage in that pic. I wonder what they had to say. ;)
Thanks again for the VHJ!
My pleasure. I've discovered a lot of strange little gems thanks to your site.
Regarding Oprah's cleavage, I've heard they've taken a vow of silence until her presidential bid in 2012.
Thanks from us too. Weng Weng for life!
