We have thoughts about many aspects of the entertainment industry that we don’t have time (or, hey, sometimes the desire, right?) to write about in long form. We will no longer hold back just because we lack the energy. Instead, we’ll band together or share a short burst of more personal energy. This will become a semi-regular series, and we’ve also called for goofy, fun coverage for those who might want to get more in-depth. Let’s see how it goes, and let us know if you’d like to see more!
