Richard Has Left The Building
As some of you may have noticed, Richard Brunton is no longer with The Movie Blog. Richard is a terrific writer and top notch guy who we wish all the luck in the world to. Richard joins a growing list of fantastic Movie Blog Allumnists and will most most likely be doing other online projects, and we're sure his will be just as great as the others. You can be sure that when Richard's new projects are ready to launch we'll let you know about it.

Hmmmm... an allumni page isn't a bad idea at all. I'll look into that.

NO! DAMMIT!! Man, Richard always had interesting, thought-provoking articles. Man, this sucks.

Aw, that's a shame I was wondering why I hadn't seen any post from him recently.
Richard if you happen to read this, thanks for all the articles, opinions and movie reviews you took the time to prepare and share. :)

What was the results of the Movie Blog awarads again?
I think we drove Richard crazy with all those ballots!
:)
Seriously, Richard. If you're reading this, you will be missed.
Good luck with everything.

I hope his leaving was under "good terms"... i would hate to see any stryfe (non-movie related) here at the movie blog! Well, Richard, i enjoyed your MANY contributions to the Movie Blog and wish you sucess in the future. 2 things... 1) An alum page would be neat... 2)Richard you MUST come back and do a VIDEO edition or at least an audio edition!!! (John?!?) I dont think you guys were ever able to get together and do that... I digress... Cheers Richard! And good future.

Sad day. Richard added a good balance of opinions to the site. I hope he finds a new home to talk movies, or makes one for himself. Would be a shame to miss out on his "voice".

I miss the scottish one already.
whatever happened to the last Scottish edition of the audio edition?
why not give us that as his "farewell address?"
Good luck, Richard, I've enjoyed your news.
Please provide links to his next project to make it easier for us to hang with him.

mogulus: His new digs will be here...

Not launched yet, but keep your eyes out. He's threatening to open any day now!

Some of the things I've read on Richard's blog lately (weblog.brunton.org.uk) make me wonder if he left, or if he was pushed. He sure seems bitter about something...... Plus there;s the lack of a final farewell, and he hasn't left any comments for ages. Maybe that's just the conspiracy theorist in me, tho!!!!
MIss you Richard!

It's a shame. Hope he'll still guest-visit though. I really like his competitive manner when it comes to analysis, it makes for rather enjoyable reading.

Richard's Filmstalker is now live, check it out!

Thanks guys, nice to know that I'll be missed. However, you know where to find me.
The results of the Awards are still in the Database - John if you are interested in letting everyone know I can pass over the login details (if the polling software is still there).

I'd be interested to see who all the alumni are. Instead of just removing his link from the left hand navigation you should have a page of alumni.
Of course I just get bored at work and look for anything that amuses me for even 5 minutes.
