New Reading

If you read these posts through an RSS reader like Google Reader or Bloglines, you probably didn't realize that I have a list of "Must Reads" on the left column over here on the real site.  Okay, even those of you that visit the actual site probably didn't realize that either.  However, having said all that, I added two new blogs this week to my list, so I thought I'd introduce them to you.

First, while I'm a religious listener to Rob Long's podcast called Martini Shot on KCRW, I guess the writer's strike has given him an excuse to start a blog.  I'm a big fan of his recent "Comments, Enhanced" post. 

The second recent addition is My New Plaid Pants, which immediately blew me away with their multi-post breakdown of one of the most underrated films of my formative movie viewing years, Dead Calm.  Possibly still the best work Nicole Kidman has ever done (okay, To Die For was better) but it's got to be Billy Zane's career highlight.

Enjoy.
