The King is dead. Long live the king.
Film for the Soul may be gone but a new venture awaits.
I hope to see all of you that made Film for the Soul such a wonderful place to be at my new blog, By Kubrick's Beard, some time soon.

Let's face it, this happened months ago.
I've tried, I've failed. Film for the Soul is no more, I can't bring myself to work on the blog I loved so much.
Counting Down the Zeroes, probably, takes most the blame. The project was ambitious, a runaway success and wide-spread throughout the film blog ... Comment - Like

Well it's been awhile hasn't it?
It's was rather rude of me, to say the least, to up and leave whilst in the middle of the wonderful Counting Down the Zeroes project. I made valiant attempts to keep it afloat but life, you know, sometimes gets in the way.

It feels good to be back.
It's been too long.
What have I missed?
More later. Explanations. Apologies. But most importantly, film goodness and lots of it.
