Are You New?

NATHANIEL R in The Film Experience

Professor (Nathaniel) R.My psychic powers tell me that some of you are new.

You know how some television series make it nearly impossible for newbies what with their complex mythologies, beloved idiosyncracies and verbal/visual shorthand for long running threads? I sometimes worry about new readers here at The Film Experience. Do they slip away in confusion? A friend once told me that TFE is way too complex with its hiearchies of heroines and love-to-hate-them "villains" that you'd need a user guide, or perhaps a castle map to navigate the throne rooms and dungeons of the cinephilia.

I don't know about all that but IF you're new, please say so in the comments and welcome!

The easiest way to get acquainted would be to check out the Best of... posts, top ten lists, Oscar coverage, or click around to regular programming like Hit Me..., "First and Last" quizzes, Unsung Heroes, or Curio. In the sidebar to your right you can find links to the most recent reviews. We've been on a bit of an animation kick lately. Oh and mutants.

Nathaniel -- sorry to refer to myself in the third person (it happens) -- also really likes to draw which is not something you get much of on other movie sites.

Welcome and stick around. Try us out on your preferred reader feed.
