The idea:  To promote the Olympia Film Society through my patronage, writing and publicity.

The ignorance philosophy:  I will attempt to remain as ignorant about the movies as possible prior to my attendance so as to minimize my commercial preconceptions in the reviewing process.  To accomplish this goal I:  do not watch television, close my eyes and stick a finger in my one good ear during previews and refuse to read about movies online or in print. 

The content:  I will provide my first response to both the movie title and promotional poster following the assumption that each were deliberately created as a part of the whole art intent.  As a general rule of thumb, I will attempt to prepare future viewers for the movie while giving away as little as I can about the actual plot.  A semi-traditional American Haiku quoting one line from the movie will accompany each review and should only make sense after you see it, at which point I hope it is seen as sensibly emblematic of the film itself.  I will attempt to provide hyperlinks for my references.

The rating system:  I will rate each movie on a 0 to 5 Oly Stubbie scale with an infinite decimal system (and anything else I decide to throw in).

Reader input:  Please feel free to tell me whether or not you think these suck, are great, or lay somewhere in between.  I assure you that your input will not change my approach.
