I am a Stub and so are you.

For the better part of a decade, I have been doing movie reviews, news reporting and blog punditry revolving around the movie and tv news circuits. The last site I had the privilege to work for was The Movie Blog and after 6 years of writing for them, I decided to branch out on my own. In TV terms, I am the spinoff.

So when deciding on a name for my new home, I turned to John Campea, friend of over 16 years to see if he had any ideas. The only thing he had to suggest was that I not include “Movie” or “film” in my name because that is so overdone. So he set me off on a different line of thinking I would have tried for and then one night while watching TV it struck me.

I was watching Bryan Fuller’s Pushing Daisies episode titled Circus Circus, where the following scene takes place:

So inspired by this line

There are two types of people in this world -
Those that take all the risk and make you feel something besides the dull thudding of your own heart,

and Those that pay to watch…. …with a ticket stub in their pocket…

So I am a Stub. I pay to watch, and like you and your friends you discuss it and share what you have paid to watch.

You are a Stub too.
