Merry Christmas Everyone

By John - December 24, 2008 - 14:31 America/Montreal

Before I go on to blabber about Christmas, let me first start by saying how grateful I am for all of you. The Movie Blog readers who have supported, debated, laughed, made fun of, criticized and watched lots of and talked a lot about movies with me this year. You have no idea or clue how much you guys mean to me. From guys who always seem to disagree and have great debate with me like Alfie, great international friends like Phil Gee, super long time readers (like 5 years) like Jared and everyone in between.

You guys allow me to do what I love to do… talk about and discuss movies all day. Literally hundreds of emails and comments are sent to me everyday and I can honestly tell you I read every single one of them. This time of the year reminds me of all the things I’m grateful for, and our amazing Movie Blog readers rank right up there for me. Thank you.

No really… read these words… THANK YOU.

Thank you for your participation. Thank you for your support. Thank you for the debate. Thank you for the discussion. And thank you for making movie watching even more fun for me than it already was.

So as you venture forth the next few days to celebrate Christmas, or just to enjoy a couple of days off, have safe travels, warm times with family and friends and enjoy some great food.

Oh… and watch a movie. Just not The Spirit! ;)

Merry Christmas everyone! Oh, and I’ll be putting up a Christmas Eve podcast later tonight.

    A fond farewell to a pretty fantastic year for movies and a pretty interesting one for TMB.

    I wish the merriest Christmas and most amazing 2009 possible to John, Doug, Darren, Rodney, Sharon, Serena, SoulVideo, Chuck Norris and anyone I missed and to my dear friends Filmnerd Jamie, Queen Kristina, AjaxLou, Dark Kinger, Sound Designer Dan, Darren Seeley, NBA Kid and to all whom I’m not so acquainted with yet.

    And a Christmas wish from me that our precious live shows come back next year.

    Ever since I came across one of your youtube reviews I have been addicted ever since. The movie blog has prehaps given me an insight to a world I would not of seen, or come across.

    For that, and many other things, my gratatued is owed.

    Merry Christmas to everyone

  21. aaron says:

    i check the movie blog every 10 minutes lol. I think we all can say this site is important to us

  22. Peter K says:

    Hey John, Merry Christmas to you as well. Thanks as always for the hard work you all put into this site. It is my pleasure to read it on an hourly basis. I hope your legal battle is going well against that dinks that screwed you out of your due money and caused you to lose Doug. I even begged a mall santa to reem those assholes with moon sized pieces of coal. What a Christmas gift that would be.

  23. Darek-T says:

    I’ve been reading this site for almost a year and ever since i read that first review for Rambo i’ve been utterly hooked to this site. It’s the reason i’m as into movies as I am, and i know like 5x more then any of my friends. One of the reasons i love your site so much is since it’s not realy profesional that much you can actualy talk and interact to your readers and stuff and make nie posts like this. I hope you this site can get finantialy better again so you can hire Doug back.

    Merry Christmas.

  24. AB says:

    Cheers

    John
    This site seriously gets me through day to day. Without going into detail, haven’t been too great with me this year and this site has been a good distraction from all of that. Merry Christmas to the whole Movie Blog staff, podcast hosts, guest hosts, and every person whose had anything to do with the site or podcast past and present. THANK YOU!
