Julian is back!!

This Blog post was written for my Blog on Wordpress, however it also applies to Spill.com as I intend to start posting here again as well. You can read my stuff here on the website or visit my blog on www.filmfreakfiles.wordpress.com. It doesn't really matter to me, as long as somebody reads it I'm happy!

Hey guys, long time no see. Wow it’s really been a hell of a lot of time since I last posted anything here. To be precise, I think it’s been about half a year. Not that any of you nerdy dudes shed any tears for me, but it’s still a nice feeling posting here again. I gotta admit I did miss posting here sometimes, especially when a particularly awful or wonderful film came along. It’s just not the same, spewing out your hatred of Wolverine to your girlfriend. Poor thing, she’s a real superhero for putting up with me sometimes.

But it’s not like I just left you guys for no apparent reason. Oh no, I have a bag full of varyingly legitimate excuses for having put the site on the backburner for a while. First of all the most apparent reason; I MOVED TWICE DURING HALF A YEAR!!!. When I started out writing for the three mighty F’s (Filmfreakfiles) I was living in a little student apartment in Portugal. Last February though I moved back to Holland to live with my girlfriend for a while, plus I crashed at my parents place for the better part of two months. During the beginning of my stay in the Netherlands I tried to keep up the writing for the Files, but after a while the whole thing wasn’t working anymore as the study load was getting increasingly unmanageable and my social life was starting to arise from the ashes of its long deemed dead existence in Southern Europe. So now you’re probably thinking; ‘Where the Hell did you move to now’? And I would answer ‘Well my good sirs, I have relocated to the lands of mighty forests where the beer flows freely in medieval looking pubs, accompanied by the occasional Bratwurst.’ Yes that’s right, I’m in Deutschland as of now, and having spent a nice three weeks settling in and enjoying the local culture and cuisine, I deemed it an appropriate time for my return as the lone scribbler for FilmFreakFiles.

Now for my second reason, and here I get to stroke myself a bit. No worry though; I’m in a public space so no taking off of the trousers or anything like that. My second legitimate reason…is that I am currently writing for one of the biggest movie websites in the Netherlands. Yes that’s right, I write news articles for FILMTOTAAL on a weekly basis. It’s been a great experience so far as I get to busy myself with movie-related stuff, lose sleep whilst browsing for the latest scoop, and enjoy a readership of in the thousands. So far so good, the only problem being that I have to write fairly objective pieces of news coverage. That’s all fine for now, but it’s just way more fun getting to write the occasional piece of commentary and unapologetic rants. That’s why I’ve decided to pick up FilmFreakFiles again, as it gives me the opportunity to give you guys my full personal opinion without having to limit myself to any journalistic standards. So if you’re just looking for a good film-related time then you’re at the right place here. If it’s the news you want, then I’ll gladly redirect you to my articles on Filmtotaal.

So there it is; the official rebirth of FilmFreakFiles! Hope you guys like it and keep coming. I promise to update on what I’ve been watching every Monday and if something interesting pops up during the week you can be sure that I’ll have something to say about it as well. That’s it for me now. I’ll see ya next week!!!
Keep checking out the Files! ☺
