Hey folks.  This is Phil, the owner and editor of NewFilmDimension.com.  This is a sad and very difficult day for because I've thought long and hard on this, however, I've come to a decision:

I've decided New Film Dimension will go on without me, however, I'll still be owner and chief editor.

I'm sure those of you who are regular readers have noticed a sharp decline in posting from myself over the past couple of months and recently, the last two weeks.   Although I've asked two wonderful writers to join the team, the overall maintenance of the site and being an editor has taken a toll, a toll of donating time for no money.  That, my friends, is something that I can't continue.  Money is life, and when in an economic recession backed by a socialist, statist, government administration who thinks spending money and introducing policy that will tax nearly 40% percent of our paychecks, is unexceptable and costly to the taxpayer.  I am a taxpayer, and I can't afford that.

A couple of weeks ago, I began a hard endeavor into job hunting, something to add with my position at UPS.  As you can imagine, there isn't much available for someone with out a doctorate and 30 years experience of whatever during an economic decline...  I can't do much with that.  Last week, I decided to stop writing only for a couple of days while I focused on finding work, then it lasted the week and it's still continuing.  With several prospects, resumes sent, a dream of owning my own grass, among other things, blogging became unrealistic unless I was making some pocket change, at least.  So I've come to the final conclusion to stop blogging as I want to devote all of my energies into working, making money, etc.

Taking over my duties starting next week will be NFD writer Chris, your new managing editor.  You can read a note he sent just below.

Don't worry!  Those of you who've come to this site, looking to read news, reviews, and what have you, it won't be the last time I'll write online.  Whenever I get a chance, whenever I feel the NEED, I'll post here and there.  Also, they'll come a time when I'll make a big return, a return backed up by something new and exciting meant for you and meant for building a new larger community.  Details, I won't tell you.  I'll fill you in one of these days - I have cool ideas floating around.

Anyhow, let me introduce you to your new awesome leader, Chris B.

Hey all, this is Chris B. (Or you can call me Soran, whichever you prefer), your friendly former co-administrator of NFD.  I just wanted to say a little something about the changeover that's coming to New Film Dimension.

First off, I want to personally state that I'll miss Phil badly - his dedication and passion flowed through every entry he wrote here, and you can't replace a guy who has that much drive, you can only hope to succeed someone like that. I realize some of you are long-time fans of Phil's as well, and it's never easy hearing that your favorite blog's chief editor is going on a sabbatical - but I know a lot of you have also been very supportive of myself and Russ's work, and for that I thank you.

I also know that drive like Phil's doesn't just vanish, so he'll be back to the blogging game before you know it, and I bet myself and Russ will be working with him still when that time comes - at least I hope so.

All of you need to know, though, that myself, and my co-writers David A. and Russ F., are passionate about this site and the awesome content it has brought to us for so long, and we want to give you more of the same.  As soon as I told them that Phil would be going away for a while, they leapt at the chance to keep the site alive.  There will be changes, of course, because there always are, and we don't have the same resources that Phil does, but those changes will be kept to a minimum so you, the viewer, can stay happy in knowing that if you come here looking for insightful commentary, fresh news, and gorgeous celebrities, you shouldn't go anywhere else.

The porch light's still on, folks, we'll be right here waiting for you.

--Chris B.
