Welcome Fellow Bastards

I was originally going to call this "Shifty Bastard's CineBlog", but it sounded far too close to "Cinnabun".  It was making me hungry.  My real name is Ryan Holthaus (pause for applause).  I figured I needed a hobby and so, apparently, did a few of my friends.  So here I am, writing movie blog # 1,234,596,014.  I'll be writing about movies (duh) both new and old, whatever pops into my bastard brain. I have plenty of stuff in the works so, without further adieu, I'll kick off with an old favorite of mine I recently rediscovered. . .
