Announcement: 50th Follower!!

Be sure to look at the post after this for my newest article!

Great news, folks! Forgotten Classics of Yesteryear has just got it's 50th follower!!


I just want to take the time to earnestly thank every one of my followers. You have no idea how much it means to me to see your icons on my blog and know that you all consistently read and follow what I write. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

To all of the readers that I have had over the years, thank you! You have made this hobby of mine so worthwhile and fulfilling. Thank you for your amazing comments! The only thing that I like more than seeing that I have readers is responding to your comments!

I want to thank the Classic Movie Blog Association for inducting me into their ranks and introducing me to so many new readers. I want to also thank S.M. Rana and Jack L. in particular for helping me make this blog what it is. If I could, I would thank all of my followers individually...but then this post would be several pages long! Just know that I value and appreciate EVERY ONE of you!

So here's to 50 more followers and many more years of forgotten classics!

    Congrats Nathanael!

    Thanks for the special thanks, I really appreciate the mention.
    Your blog definitely seems to be on the rise, with your membership in CMBA and of course your blogathon which is really working well!
    Good luck with many more years of great reviews.

    btw I'd been meaning o ask you, I recently came across a film called Land In Anguish, a Brazilian film by Rocha, I remembered you'd reviewed one of his other films before and thought maybe you'd seen this film. If so would you recommend it?

    Hey man, you helped make my blog what it is today. I can never thank you enough!

    No...I haven't seen "Land in Anguish." But if it's by Rocha, then it can't be that bad.

    My congratulations on reaching 50 followers, and on those who have added their names since you posted yesterday. I am terrible about leaving comments and responding to comments, but as a follower and reader I appreciate being acknowledged by the writers of those blogs. I enjoy reading your creative and entertaining essays, which are always of the highest quality. Best wishes on your upcoming blog, I’m looking forward to learning all about Roger Corman’s films.

    I'm just glad you're here with your wonderful writing and movie knowledge! Like Gypsy, I don't always leave a comment (shame on me as a fellow blogger!), but I cruise around here more than you think!

    Thanks, Becky! You should totally leave more comments, though! It's how I know that people are reading my posts and, more importantly, caring about what I wrote!

    You are right, Nathanael, and I usually do try to remember that comments are precious things. Shoot, I feel the way way, so an extra shame on me! For a while now live has been hitting me over the head and leaving me overwhelmed, but, I have to admit, I can also be lazy! I will definitely be a better reader and fellow movie lover hereon!

    Man, I am the typo queen today -- I meant that I feel the SAME way, and that LIFE is beating me up, not "live"! LOL!

    Nate, beaucoup congratulations on your 50th Follower! I'm not surprised your following is growing, because you always write with such love and care about so many wonderful films that deserve to be ballyhooed. I'm proud to be one of your Followers, Nate. Keep up your great work!

    I wouldn't be such a great ballyhooer without Team Bartilucci!
