It seems to me that this
website is now more relevant, timely, and useful than it has ever been, as more
and more people are drawn to what’s streaming right now – either from
cable-cord-cutting, or increased appetite under pandemic lockdown, or general
cultural currency. And there’s so much
out there that it’s difficult to keep up with what’s worth seeing. And that’s where I come in.
Even though I filter my own
viewing through a highly-selective lens, I still watch more than any reasonable
person would do. So for those who know
me and/or come to have some sense of my approach to cinema, I can provide a
second filter to help make sure that you spend your viewing time wisely,
informatively, and enjoyably.
Conveying my own views in a
brisk and concentrated style, and trying to increase viewership and appreciation
for the best in film and tv available through streaming, I also link to each film or
show’s Metacritic entry, where you can see trailers, cast-lists, and a range of
critical opinion. Though streaming
availability is a volatile thing, and dependent on what channels you subscribe
to, I also indicate where I managed to watch whatever is under discussion.
So I ask you to forward the
Cinema Salon link to any of your friends or acquaintances who are
media-curious. Though the metaphor has
taken on a whole world of unfortunate associations, what I’m hoping for is a
bit of viral spread for this website.
