Before I get into my quarterly roundup of choice films playing down at the Cinémathèque Française, a little announcement: Furthermucker has made a ranking list of one of the Internet’s most popular blogs for film! Well, I never said this blog isn’t about film. I deal in Paris, pop culture, hiphop and the arts here; cinema is definitely one of those arts, and thinking back, my highest stats ever (like over 5,000 hits in one day) came from my post about Woody Allen’s last joint, Cassandra’s Dream. And so Wikio – a pretty cool site that can serve up all the news on the Internet from media sites and blogs to your specifications – has a Top 100 ranking for different subjects like music, celebrity and politics, and Furthermucker just made #31 in their new ranking for film. (See my spanking new badge at left.)

As far as the Cinémathèque, the next three months are pretty vapid. But judge for yourself:

A Band Apart – March 7
Coffy – March 21
Shaft in Africa – March 27
Blood Diamond – April 18
Star 80 – April 18
And Justice for All – April 24

Lynne laments the dearth of black tech bloggers, raises awareness for both the upcoming South by Southwest Interactive Festival and the Jena 6, and… well, just go check out her blog. But Lynne’s an inspiration, a writer who loves hiphop and the web 2.0 in nearly equal measures. I studied computer science in college for 3 years before switching majors (sociology); the math kicked my ass. I wrote simple Basic programs on my Atari 1600XL at the age of 11, was all up on Fortran and Cobol computer languages, reading Omni and Discover heavy before KISS and WBLS (and teenage girls in bubblegum jeans) jacked my attention. Gearing up for the launch of my first real website next month got me in a Bobby Digital state of mind; that and Wikio.com (a whole other story).

Lynne’s got a bishop in the Church of Zombie that kicked my ass on Facebook days ago though. Revenge!
