Tampa Film Fan

steve persall is back in the blogosphere!

Well, color me excited! The St. Pete Times’ film critic Steve Persall has started blogging again.  His blog Reeling in the Years can be found at http://blogs.tampabay.com/movies/.  Just when I’ve finally recovered from my separation anxiety caused when Persall suddenly stopped his last blog a while back – Steve, you didn’t even say goodbye!  You just went around the corner to the store for a carton of milk and never came back to the blogosphere! — he’s back to feed my movie blog addiction.

I enjoy reading journalists’ blogs and seeing the less-inhibited, open, sometimes wackier side of these well-known writers.  (If you’ve never visited the blog of Eric Deggans, the Times’ media critic, you should.  He’s great and is really funny.)

So far, Persall has blogged a great deal about local filmmakers, which is wonderful.  The more attention our local filmmaking community can get, the better.

Stop by Reeling in the Years and tell Steve I said hi.  Also, tell him about this local blogger you know of — Tampa Film Fan or something like that – who would make a really great subject for an interview or profile in the Times.  (Let’s get this grass-roots campaign going!)
