This week, we’re outing ourselves.

What’s something that, as a film nerd, you’re embarrassed to admit?

Mine is that I have never owned a blu-ray player.

I’ve never seen THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.

At this point in time, get a 4k player; they dropped in price.

The entire fking wreck COVID — or was it 30 years of online culture, plus the dominance of brilliant serialized television dramas in hour-long chunks, plus the last seven years of American politics? — has made of my attention span. It’s not that there aren’t many, many, many films I *want* to watch; it’s that I can’t seem to get my attention span in graceful sync with what the filmmaker needs from me. And I hate that. It scares me.
