This really has been a hell of a ride.

I started this Movie Blogging thing on the aptly named The Movie Blog with John Campea, and after about 6 years of that I wanted to strike out on my own. Thus, The Stub was born. The original plan I had with John was to build some content here with my posts, and eventually we would announce the spinoff and see what happened.

But then John started expanding into other ventures, and as always I was in full support mode and stepped up my involvement on the site from a few posts a day to becoming pretty much the only person to write on the site for the last year. The Movie Blog had “guest appearances” by John until he found himself named the Senior Editor over at AMC’s Script to Screen. John chose to move on exclusively with that venture leaving The Movie Blog in the hands of the financial owners.

The official launch of The Stub came sooner than I hoped and I was thrilled to see some of the loyal TMB crowd make the leap to join me here. But my grand opening was short lived as the owners of The Movie Blog contacted me and offered me the role as Senior Editor.

At first I was conflicted. I had this new site all up and running, all excited to be moving forward. And then here I was being handed the keys to the site I helped create and sustain for 6 years. It was a brief conflict and a new era for The Movie Blog has arrived as I accepted the title.

For the last few weeks I have been mirroring my content from The Movie Blog here, but things are moving forward with solid effort. We are making changes to the site and building TMB up to become the ultimate spot for your movie news and sharing opinions.

And that brings us to today. The Stub is mine and she only had a short presence online, and The Movie Blog will be my new home now.

From now on I will be at The Movie Blog

Thanks for being around. Come join me there!
