Doyle Gone To The Dark Side

Folks, this is it! The official "blogging" begins here. Guerrilla Filmmaker may be a thing of the past, but Mark Doyle and yours truly are back to share what's on our minds... or at the very least, what news someone else may have given us that we feel we should share with you all. (and please do let us know what you think)

I just finished going through Mark Doyle's first SOCIETY AND YOU blog and I can't even begin to express my delight in "hearing" the excitement in his words... Words like hounds, Phoenix, and my own personal favorite, revolution. Sounds like someone wasn't very busy at work today... But seriously, folks... Here's the lowdown: Mark Doyle has crossed over to a new place; one that is darker, more sinister... but one that has apparently made him more motivated than ever. With his own, newfound indulgence toward more bizarre Lynchian fare, such as INLAND EMPIRE, and his personal acknowledgement that Quentin Tarantino will never top RESERVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION, either artistically or at the box office, Doyle has definitively left the ground his feet once stood on and now resides on the Dark Side.

But the new Mark Doyle, which we shall henceforth identify simply as Dark Moyle, is definitely improved. His recent experiences in the world of post production and his ability to refrain from unnecessary political rants at most inopportune times have made him a more complete filmmaker, and ultimately a better, more 'human' human being. It's therefore much more pleasant now to read through his personal scribblings and find those thoughts that are worthy of sharing with you all on this, our new Society and you.

Happy trails - Derlin
